About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX40
The AirTAC SAI160X40 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation. Delivering a robust 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this 160 mm bore actuator is built for high-thrust tasks. The 40 mm stroke provides rapid, short-travel movement where sheer power is the priority. Its extruded aluminum barrel omits tie-rods for a clean exterior.
This specific configuration features a SUS420J2 stainless steel piston rod (material code A) for enhanced corrosion resistance against moisture and minor chemicals. Fluid connections utilize PT tapered threads, ensuring a tight, reliable pneumatic seal. For environments requiring higher thermal stability, the standard TPU seals can be swapped for Viton (H) or NBR (N) alternatives.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX40 Is Used
Heavy-Duty Stamping
Provides the immense 10053 N push force required to form, punch, or stamp thick metal components in a single short stroke.
Industrial Clamping
Secures large castings or heavy fabrications during machining operations, utilizing its massive 160 mm bore output to prevent workpiece shifting.
Press Fit Assembly
Drives large bearings or bushings into housings with precise, high-thrust force over a short 40 mm travel distance.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX40 the Right Cylinder?
Select this 160 mm bore actuator when an application demands extreme force that smaller bores cannot provide, such as stepping up from a 125 mm bore which yields 6136 N at 0.5 MPa. The 40 mm stroke is optimal for compact clamping or pressing operations. Because the stroke is well under 300 mm, side-load stress on the rod bearing is minimal, though heavy loads should still be guided externally to prevent premature wear.
As a true ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it serves as a dimensionally interchangeable direct replacement for other standard profile cylinders without relying on specific brand cross-references. If the machinery requires fail-safe load holding upon air pressure loss, integrate an external pilot-operated check valve or specify the SAIL or BSAI locking variants instead of relying on the standard adjustable air cushions, which only decelerate the piston near stroke end.
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.
