About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX230S
The AirTAC SAI160X230-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation. Delivering a robust 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa, this 160 mm bore unit is built to execute demanding linear motion tasks. The 230 mm stroke provides ample extension for large-scale pressing, lifting, and clamping operations. As a genuine extruded aluminum profile barrel design, it eliminates traditional tie-rods, offering a sleek, integrated sensor groove on both sides for easy switch placement.
This specific configuration includes a -S magnet for direct compatibility with CMSE and DMSE reed switches, enabling reliable piston position feedback. The piston rod is constructed from SUS420J2 stainless steel (material code A), providing excellent resistance to corrosion and mechanical wear in harsh environments. Fluid connections use PT tapered threads, ensuring tight, leak-free pneumatic hookups. For applications requiring fail-safe load holding, explore the SAIL variant with an air-released lock.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX230S Is Used
Heavy-Duty Stamping
Provides the 10053 N push force required for metal forming, riveting, and heavy assembly line stamping operations.
Automotive Component Handling
Lifts and positions large chassis or powertrain parts, utilizing the SUS420J2 stainless rod for durability in oily environments.
Large Mold Actuation
Drives substantial molding or casting equipment, relying on the 230 mm stroke and integrated CMSE/DMSE sensor grooves for process control.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX230S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 160 mm bore cylinder makes sense when your application requires substantial thrust that smaller bores cannot provide. If 10053 N at 0.5 MPa is excessive, stepping down to a 125 mm bore yields 6136 N, optimizing air consumption. Conversely, if your system needs maximum force up to 15708 N, the 200 mm bore is the next tier up. Because the stroke is 230 mm, the unsupported rod length is significant; always mount external guides or use a guided cylinder to prevent rod-bearing bending under side loads.
This model ensures seamless dimensional interchangeability with other ISO 15552 profile cylinders, serving as a direct replacement for existing mounting footprints. When ordering, confirm the 230 mm stroke, G3/4 port size, PT thread standard, and the -S magnet option. If the machinery loses air pressure, the standard SAI cylinder will drift and drop its load; utilize an external rod lock or the SAIL lock variant for secure position holding.
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.
