About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX325S
The AirTAC SAI160X325-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty motion control. It generates a substantial 14074 N of push force at 0.7 MPa, making it well-suited for moving large masses over a 325 mm travel distance.
This specific configuration includes a SUS420J2 stainless steel piston rod (material code A) for enhanced corrosion resistance and a built-in magnet (-S) that allows seamless integration with CMSE or DMSE sensor switches via the dual side grooves on the extruded aluminum barrel. The ports feature PT tapered threading.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX325S Is Used
Heavy Metal Stamping
Provides the robust 14074 N thrust at 0.7 MPa required to form and stamp thick metal sheets in automated fabrication lines.
Large Assembly Presses
Drives heavy-duty assembly operations, applying consistent clamping pressure over the 325 mm stroke to seat large industrial components.
Bulk Material Handling
Actuates heavy-duty diverter gates and lifting mechanisms on bulk material conveyors, moving substantial loads reliably.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX325S the Right Cylinder?
Choosing this 160 mm bore cylinder makes sense when the adjacent 125 mm bore (offering 8590 N push at 0.7 MPa) cannot provide enough thrust for your high-load handling tasks. Because the 325 mm stroke exceeds the 300 mm threshold, it is critical to address potential side-load and rod-bearing bending. For applications with lateral loads, implement an external guide mechanism or utilize a fully guided cylinder to prevent rod deflection and premature wear.
As an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it provides a dimensionally interchangeable mounting interface for straightforward replacements. Note that if your machinery requires the load to be physically held in place during a complete loss of air pressure, this standard cylinder will drift; you should evaluate the SAIL (air-released lock) or BSAI (bidirectional clamp-lock) variants instead of relying on the adjustable air cushions, which only decelerate the piston at stroke ends.
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 SAI160AX325S FAQ
At an operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, this 160 mm bore cylinder generates a push force of 14074 N and a pull force of 9425 N. It can reach a theoretical maximum of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the standard SAI160X325-S does not feature a physical lock. The adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends. If your application requires position holding without live air pressure, consider the SAIL or BSAI locking variants.
