About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX20
The AirTAC SAI160X20 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty operations, delivering a substantial push force of 10053 N at just 0.5 MPa. With a compact 20 mm stroke, it is purpose-built for high-impact clamping, pressing, and short-travel actuation where maximum power must be applied in a tight linear distance.
Reflecting its rugged design, this specific unit features a SUS420J2 stainless steel piston rod (material code A) for superior corrosion and wear resistance compared to standard carbon steel. It utilizes PT tapered port threads, and because a magnet is not specified, external position sensing requires external switches rather than the integrated sensor grooves on the extruded aluminum barrel.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX20 Is Used
Heavy-Duty Pressing
Applies 10053 N of force at 0.5 MPa for short-stroke pressing, stamping, and riveting tasks in metal fabrication.
Industrial Clamping
Secures large workpieces or heavy molds during machining, utilizing the 20 mm stroke for rapid, high-force holding.
Short-Travel Ejection
Provides powerful ejection of finished parts from molds or presses, leveraging the 160 mm bore for immediate force transfer.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX20 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 160 mm bore provides massive thrust, but if you need slightly less clamping power, stepping down to the 125 mm bore yields 6136 N at 0.5 MPa. Because the stroke is only 20 mm, side-load bending is minimal, though you should still ensure rigid mounting to handle the high kinetic energy. This model uses a G3/4 port and accepts standard ISO 15552 mounting accessories like FA flanges or TC trunnions.
Note that the adjustable air cushions at both ends decelerate the piston to prevent end-cap impact, but they do not lock or hold the load. If your application requires position holding without continuous air pressure, integrate an external pilot-operated check valve or select the BSAI bidirectional clamp-lock variant.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — consider a guided cylinder
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (FA/FB/CA/CB/LB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
