About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX240
The AirTAC SAI160X240 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation. Delivering a substantial 14074 N push force at 0.7 MPa, this 160 mm bore actuator handles massive loads with ease. The 240 mm stroke is a made-to-order dimension tailored for specialized equipment requiring exact travel distances beyond standard increments.
Built with an extruded aluminum barrel, this model omits traditional tie-rods for a sleeker profile while maintaining strict ISO 15552 mounting interchangeability. As configured, it features a SUS420J2 stainless steel piston rod (material code A) for superior corrosion resistance and PT tapered port threads. Since no magnet is specified, it operates without electronic position sensing.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX240 Is Used
Heavy Metal Stamping
Provides the 10053 N force at 0.5 MPa necessary to hold large sheet metal blanks securely in heavy stamping presses.
Automotive Assembly Jigs
Drives large clamping mechanisms on automotive welding lines where the 240 mm stroke accommodates varying fixture widths.
Plastic Injection Molding
Actuates massive mold core pulls and heavy ejector mechanisms requiring robust force and reliable PT port sealing.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX240 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 160 mm bore actuator makes sense when the 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa from a 160 mm bore is required, but stepping down to a 125 mm bore yields only 6136 N at the same pressure. Stepping up to a 200 mm bore increases 0.5 MPa thrust to 15708 N. Because the 240 mm stroke is non-standard, expect a made-to-order lead time.
For a 240 mm stroke, side load is a moderate concern; use external guides to prevent rod-bearing bending. Note that the standard SAI lacks a physical lock; if the application must hold a load safely when air pressure is lost, specify the SAIL variant with an air-released lock or the BSAI bidirectional clamp-lock. To replace an existing ISO 15552 unit, match the 160 mm bore, 240 mm stroke, PT G3/4 port, and desired mounting accessory like a TC trunnion.
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.
Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX240 FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the SAI160X240 generates a push force of 14074 N and a pull force of 9425 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
Yes, the SAI160X240 is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 mounting interface dimensions. You can direct replace other ISO 15552 profile cylinders by matching the 160mm bore, 240mm stroke, and G3/4 port size.
