About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX600S
The AirTAC SAI160X600-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation, delivering a substantial 14074 N of push force at 0.7 MPa. This specific 600 mm stroke configuration is built to handle long-travel linear motion tasks while maintaining strict dimensional interchangeability with other ISO 15552 profile cylinders. The extruded aluminum barrel design omits traditional tie-rods, providing a clean exterior that streamlines machine integration.
This model is configured with a SUS420J2 stainless steel piston rod (material code A), which provides excellent resistance to corrosion and surface scoring in demanding industrial environments. It includes a built-in magnet (-S) for position sensing, allowing seamless operation with CMSE and DMSE reed switches housed neatly within the dual sensor grooves on the barrel. Fluid connections utilize PT tapered threads, ensuring a robust, mechanically sealed pneumatic connection.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX600S Is Used
Heavy Metal Stamping
Provides the robust 14074 N force at 0.7 MPa required to actuate large mechanical stamping presses and heavy-gauge metal forming dies over a 600 mm travel distance.
Automotive Assembly Jigs
Drives large-scale positioning fixtures and heavy component lifting arms in automotive body-in-white assembly lines, utilizing its 600 mm stroke for wide clearance during robotic loading.
Bulk Material Diversion
Powers heavy-duty diverter gates and sorting flaps on high-capacity aggregate or bulk material conveyors, where the long stroke and high thrust easily redirect heavy product flows.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX600S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore actuator, verify that your application requires its specific thrust profile; stepping down to a 125 mm bore reduces the 0.5 MPa push force to 6136 N, while moving up to a 200 mm bore increases it to 15708 N. Because this model features a 600 mm stroke, the extended rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads. To prevent premature rod-bearing wear and piston scoring, mount this cylinder using a trunnion (TC/FTC) accessory to allow self-alignment, or guide the load externally to absorb lateral forces.
This SAI160X600-S is a direct replacement for any standard ISO 15552 profile cylinder with matching 160 mm bore and 600 mm stroke dimensions. Note that while the adjustable air cushions at both ends decelerate the piston near the stroke limits, they do not hold the load in place. If your machinery requires the load to remain stationary upon air pressure loss, integrate the SAIL pneumatic lock variant or an external pilot-operated check valve.
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 SAI160AX600S FAQ
This 160 mm bore cylinder generates 10053 N of push force and 9425 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. When operated at 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 14074 N.
No, the standard SAI series does not lock the piston. The adjustable air cushions only decelerate the rod at the stroke ends. To maintain a vertical load without continuous air pressure, you must use the SAIL locking variant or an external rod lock mechanism.
