About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX290
The AirTAC SAI160X290 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation. Delivering a robust push force of 14074 N at 0.7 MPa, this 160mm bore unit handles substantial loads effortlessly. The 290mm stroke provides ample travel for large material handling tasks.
Built with an extruded aluminum barrel, this model omits tie-rods for a clean exterior. It features a SUS420J2 stainless steel piston rod (material code A) for enhanced corrosion resistance. The fluid ports utilize a PT tapered thread type, ensuring secure, leak-free pneumatic connections in demanding industrial environments.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX290 Is Used
Heavy Stamping Presses
Provides the high clamping force required to hold large metal sheets securely in place during heavy-duty stamping and punching operations.
Bulk Pallet Handling
Drives robust lifting mechanisms for heavy wooden pallets, utilizing the 290mm stroke to elevate loads efficiently on high-capacity packaging lines.
Large Assembly Fixtures
Actuates massive tooling bases and heavy industrial fixtures, relying on the 14074 N push force to move substantial mechanical components precisely.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX290 the Right Cylinder?
Select this 160mm bore cylinder when an 80mm bore (providing 3518 N push at 0.7 MPa) is insufficient for your load requirements. At a 290mm stroke, the unsupported rod length is significant; side loads can cause rod-bearing bending. Implement external guide rails or use a guided cylinder to prevent premature seal wear and binding.
This model utilizes adjustable air cushions at both ends to decelerate the heavy piston smoothly. Note that air cushions do not hold the load if air pressure drops; for dead-load holding, integrate an external pilot-operated check valve or specify a BSAI clamp-lock variant. As a dimensionally interchangeable ISO 15552 cylinder, it serves as a direct replacement matching the 160mm bore, 290mm stroke, 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.
