About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX40S
The AirTAC SAI160X40-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation. Delivering a substantial push force of 10053 N at 0.5 MPa, this 160 mm bore unit provides authoritative power within a compact 40 mm stroke. The extruded aluminum barrel design omits tie-rods, yielding a cleaner profile that drops directly into standardized ISO 15552 mounting footprints.
This specific configuration includes a magnetic piston (-S) for seamless integration with CMSE and DMSE position switches seated in the dual sensor grooves. Furthermore, the piston rod is constructed from SUS420J2 stainless steel (material code A), offering superior resistance to corrosion and surface wear compared to standard carbon steel. Fluid ports feature PT tapered threads (G3/4) for robust, leak-free pneumatic connections.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX40S Is Used
Heavy-Duty Stamping
Provides the robust 10053 N force needed for short-stroke metal forming, riveting, and impact stamping operations.
Industrial Clamping
Ideal for securing heavy molds or large workpieces during machining, utilizing its massive bore size to maintain unyielding grip.
Pallet Positioning
Functions as a high-power stopper or diverter in automated logistics lines, handling substantial pallet loads with ease.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX40S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 160 mm bore is optimal when applications demand high thrust that smaller bores cannot provide, such as the 125 mm bore which yields 6136 N at 0.5 MPa. The short 40 mm stroke excels in high-force clamping and pressing tasks. For operations requiring position retention upon loss of air pressure, note that the standard adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston at stroke ends; a SAIL variant with an air-released lock or an external pilot check valve is required to prevent rod drift.
As a dimensionally interchangeable ISO 15552 cylinder, replacement requires matching the 160 mm bore, 40 mm stroke, PT G3/4 port, and appropriate mounting accessory (such as FA flange or TC trunnion). The integrated magnet (-S) ensures out-of-the-box compatibility with standard reed sensors.
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 SAI160AX40S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 160 mm bore cylinder generates a push force of 10053 N and a pull force of 9425 N. It can reach a theoretical maximum of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the SAI160X40-S is a true ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It is dimensionally interchangeable with other ISO 15552 cylinders of the same bore and stroke, provided you match the PT G3/4 port and mounting interface.
