About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX270
The AirTAC SAI160X270 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation. It delivers a substantial push force of 10053 N at 0.5 MPa and 14074 N at 0.7 MPa, making it well-suited for high-thrust pressing and lifting tasks. The 270mm stroke is a custom, made-to-order length tailored for specialized machinery travel requirements.
Built with an extruded aluminum barrel, this model features a SUS420J2 stainless steel piston rod (material code A) for superior corrosion and wear resistance in harsh environments. It utilizes PT tapered port threads and includes adjustable air cushions at both ends to absorb impact. For advanced load-control applications, consider the SAIL variant which integrates a pneumatic locking mechanism.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX270 Is Used
Heavy Metal Stamping
Provides the 14074 N push force at 0.7 MPa required to form and stamp thick-gauge metal components in automated fabrication lines.
Automotive Assembly Presses
Drives large robotic welding fixtures and heavy assembly presses where a 270mm travel distance and robust SUS420J2 rod are essential.
Pallet Handling Stops
Acts as a high-power stopper and diverter for heavy palletized goods, utilizing its adjustable cushions to decelerate massive loads smoothly.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX270 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this bore size is appropriate when 100mm or 125mm cylinders lack the necessary thrust, as the 160mm bore significantly steps up the force output. If lesser force is needed, stepping down to the 125mm bore yields 8590 N at 0.7 MPa. Because the 270mm stroke exceeds the standard 250mm increment, it is manufactured as a non-standard configuration.
For strokes of 300mm or greater, managing side load is critical to prevent rod-bearing bending and premature wear. Utilizing an external guide mechanism or a fully guided cylinder is strongly recommended to support the load. Furthermore, a standard SAI cylinder will drift if air pressure is lost; for position-holding safety without live pressure, specify the SAIL (air-released lock) or BSAI (bidirectional clamp-lock) variant. This model is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 mounting interfaces, requiring a G3/4 port and compatible FA/FB flange or TC trunnion 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 SAI160AX270 FAQ
