About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX260S
The AirTAC SAI160X260-S is a double-acting profile barrel cylinder built to strict ISO 15552 dimensional standards, ensuring seamless direct compatibility with other compliant ISO 15552 interfaces. Delivering a substantial push force of 10053 N at 0.5 MPa (14074 N at 0.7 MPa), this 160 mm bore unit is engineered for heavy-duty industrial tasks. The 260 mm stroke provides extended travel for moving large masses or executing long-range clamping operations.
This specific configuration includes a -S magnet for direct mounting of CMSE and DMSE series sensor switches along the dual grooves machined into the extruded aluminum barrel. Furthermore, the piston rod is constructed from SUS420J2 stainless steel (material code A) for superior corrosion and wear resistance, and it utilizes PT tapered port threads to guarantee a robust, leak-free pneumatic connection in high-vibration environments.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX260S Is Used
Heavy Metal Forming
Provides the immense 14074 N push force at 0.7 MPa required for heavy stamping, pressing, and metal-forming operations.
Large Mold Clamping
The 260 mm stroke accommodates deep cavity molds, securely holding heavy tooling in place during high-pressure injection cycles.
Pallet Transfer Systems
Actuates large-scale pallet stops and heavy-duty lifting mechanisms on automated conveyor lines, utilizing the -S magnet for position feedback.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX260S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 160 mm bore is optimal when applications demand extremely high thrust that exceeds the 7068 N push force at 0.7 MPa provided by the smaller 100 mm bore variant. If the 260 mm stroke is excessive for your spatial constraints, the 250 mm standard stroke offers a slightly shorter extension. Because the stroke exceeds 300 mm, it is critical to manage side loads; an unsupported rod of this length is susceptible to bending under lateral forces. Utilizing an external guide rail or a fully guided cylinder assembly will protect the rod bearing and prevent premature wear.
This model features adjustable air cushions at both ends to decelerate the heavy piston smoothly, but note that standard SAI cylinders do not mechanically hold a load if air pressure is lost. For position holding without live pressure, consider the SAIL (air-released lock) or BSAI (bidirectional clamp-lock) variants. Replacement matching requires a 160 mm bore, 260 mm stroke, G3/4 port, PT thread, and a magnet (-S).
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 SAI160AX260S FAQ
