About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX5S
The AirTAC SAI160X5-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for high-force, short-stroke operations. It generates 10053 N of push force and 9425 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it ideal for heavy pressing and clamping tasks. This specific configuration includes a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod for enhanced corrosion resistance and a built-in magnet for position sensing.
Because it adheres strictly to ISO 15552 mounting dimensions, this cylinder serves as a direct replacement for other standard profile cylinders. The extruded aluminum barrel features sensor grooves on both sides, allowing seamless integration of CMSE or DMSE reed switches. Fluid must be filtered air, operating between 0.15 and 1.0 MPa.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX5S Is Used
Heavy-Duty Stamping
Provides 10053 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa for short-stroke metal stamping and forming operations.
Industrial Clamping
Secures large workpieces during machining with a robust SUS420J2 stainless steel rod.
Press Fit Assembly
Delivers precise 5 mm travel for seating bearings and bushings without over-travel.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX5S the Right Cylinder?
Select this 160 mm bore model when 100 mm or 125 mm cylinders cannot supply the necessary thrust for heavy-duty stamping. If your application requires less force, stepping down to a 125 mm bore yields 6136 N at 0.5 MPa. The 5 mm stroke is highly specialized; ensure your machinery accommodates the PT port threads and M36x2 rod thread.
For applications needing positive load holding without constant air pressure, a standard SAI cylinder will drift. In those scenarios, specify the SAIL variant for pneumatic locking or the BSAI bidirectional clamp-lock. Because the stroke is only 5 mm, side-load bending is negligible, but rod-bearing wear can still occur if the load is not axially aligned.
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.
