About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX260
The AirTAC SAI160X260 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation. It provides a robust push force of 14074 N at 0.7 MPa, making it well-suited for demanding pressing and lifting operations within its 260 mm stroke. The extruded aluminum barrel design omits tie-rods, offering a clean exterior that complies with strict ISO mounting dimensions.
This specific configuration incorporates a SUS420J2 stainless steel piston rod for superior corrosion resistance and reduced wear in harsh environments. It features PT tapered port threads for secure, leak-free pneumatic connections. Note that because a magnet is not specified, this unit cannot directly host CMSE or DMSE sensor switches without modification.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX260 Is Used
Heavy-Duty Pressing
Generates 14074 N of thrust at 0.7 MPa, ideal for assembling heavy mechanical components and riveting operations.
Automotive Stamping
Provides the reliable, high-force motion required for forming and positioning large metal panels in vehicle production lines.
Plastic Injection Molding
Delivers the robust clamping power needed to secure large molds during high-pressure injection molding cycles.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX260 the Right Cylinder?
With a 160 mm bore yielding 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this model is a powerhouse; if your application requires less force, stepping down to a 125 mm bore provides 6136 N. At a 260 mm stroke, side loads are not yet a primary concern, but always ensure proper alignment to prevent premature rod-bearing wear. Remember that the standard SAI does not hold position when air is removed; if your workflow requires dead-stop holding without live pressure, select the SAIL or BSAI variant. This model is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, serving as a direct replacement for other ISO 15552 profile cylinders, specified here with PT ports and standard mounting accessories.
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 SAI160AX260 FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, this 160 mm bore cylinder generates a push force of 14074 N and a pull force of 14074 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
No, the standard SAI profile cylinder relies on live air pressure and will drift if pressure is lost. For position holding without continuous air, use the SAIL lock or BSAI clamp-lock variant.
