About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX280
The AirTAC SAI160X280 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation. Delivering a robust 14074 N of push force at 0.7 MPa, this 160 mm bore unit easily drives massive payloads. The 280 mm stroke provides substantial extension for large-scale material handling. Its extruded aluminum barrel design omits tie-rods, resulting in a rigid yet streamlined profile.
This specific configuration is built with 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 operates at speeds of 30-500 mm/s. For applications requiring extreme heat resistance, the standard TPU seals can be swapped for Viton (H) options to withstand elevated temperatures up to 70 C.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX280 Is Used
Heavy Machinery Forming
Provides the immense 14074 N thrust required to actuate large forming presses and heavy-duty stamping equipment in industrial manufacturing plants.
Bulk Material Diversion
Handles large aggregate or metal scrap flows by driving heavy diverter gates and robust routing flaps on high-capacity conveyor lines.
Pallet Handling Systems
Lifts, positions, and indexes fully loaded pallets within automated storage and retrieval systems where high pull force is mandatory.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX280 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 160 mm bore cylinder is ideal when 100 mm or 125 mm models lack sufficient thrust, as it jumps from 5497 N (bore 100) to 14074 N at 0.7 MPa. If your application requires less force and faster cycling, stepping down to a 125 mm bore saves space and air consumption. Because this model features a 280 mm stroke, the unsupported rod length is significant; always use external guide rails or a guided cylinder carriage to prevent rod-bearing bending under heavy side loads.
This model is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, serving as a direct replacement for other ISO 15552 cylinders with matching 160 mm bore, 280 mm stroke, G3/4 port, and mounting accessory dimensions. Note that a standard SAI does not hold its position when air pressure is lost; if your load must remain suspended during exhaust or pressure drops, specify the SAIL variant with an air-released lock or utilize an external pilot-operated check valve.
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 SAI160AX280 FAQ
At an operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, the SAI160X280 generates a push force of 14074 N and a pull force of 9425 N. At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 10053 N.
Yes, the SAI160X280 is a true ISO 15552 profile cylinder, making its mounting interface dimensionally interchangeable with other standard ISO 15552 cylinders of the same bore and stroke. It is not a tie-rod design.
