About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX250
The AirTAC SAI160X250 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 160mm bore and 250mm stroke. It provides a substantial push force of 14074N at 0.7 MPa, making it well-suited for heavy-duty industrial pressing and lifting tasks.
This model incorporates a SUS420J2 stainless steel piston rod (option A) for enhanced corrosion resistance in humid or mildly chemically washed environments. It utilizes PT tapered port threads and lacks a standard magnet, focusing purely on raw actuation power rather than position sensing.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX250 Is Used
Heavy Metal Stamping
Provides the high tonnage required to form thick metal sheets and plates in automated fabrication lines.
Injection Mold Clamping
Secures large industrial molds and heavy tooling during high-pressure polymer injection cycles.
Large Press Brakes
Drives the upper beam in heavy-duty press brakes to bend structural steel profiles accurately.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX250 the Right Cylinder?
Select this 160mm bore when the 100mm bore (offering 5497N push at 0.7 MPa) is insufficient for your load requirements. If you need less force, dropping down reduces physical size and air consumption. Because this cylinder does not feature a magnet, position sensing requires external limit switches.
For a 250mm stroke, side-load is moderate but rod-bearing wear increases if the load is off-center; utilizing a guided cylinder or external guide rails is recommended. This standard SAI variant will drift if air pressure is lost—use the SAIL (air-released lock) or BSAI (clamp-lock) variants if your application requires fail-safe position holding. It serves as a direct dimensional direct replacement per ISO 15552 mounting interface standards.
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.
