About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX70
The AirTAC SAI160X70 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty operations, delivering a substantial push force of 10053 N at 0.5 MPa. The 70 mm stroke is optimal for high-force, short-travel clamping and pressing tasks. Its extruded aluminum barrel design omits traditional tie rods, providing a clean exterior that resists mechanical contamination.
This specific configuration features a SUS420J2 stainless steel piston rod (material code A) for superior corrosion resistance in humid environments. It utilizes PT tapered port threads and operates without a magnet. For elevated temperature applications up to 70 C, the cylinder supports Viton (H) seals, while the SAIL variant offers an air-released lock for fail-safe load holding.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX70 Is Used
Heavy-Duty Stamping
Provides the intense 14074 N push force at 0.7 MPa required for forming thick metal plates in automated stamping presses.
Industrial Clamping
Secures large cast components during machining operations, utilizing the short 70 mm stroke for rapid, high-force actuation.
Press Fitting
Drives heavy bearings and bushings into automotive housings, relying on the rigid ISO 15552 mounting interface to maintain alignment.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX70 the Right Cylinder?
Choose the 160 mm bore when 100 mm (3927 N at 0.5 MPa) is insufficient for your heavy load requirements. The 70 mm stroke provides rapid, high-impact cycles without the rod overhang seen in longer strokes, minimizing side-load stress on the rod bearing. Standard adjustable air cushions at both ends decelerate the heavy piston smoothly.
Because this standard profile cylinder does not maintain its position upon air loss or valve centering, implement external pilot-operated check valves or select the SAIL lock variant for suspended loads. As a true ISO 15552 standard cylinder, it serves as a dimensionally interchangeable direct replacement for any ISO 15552 profile cylinder, matching the 160 mm bore, 70 mm stroke, G3/4 port, and standard mounting accessories like the CA clevis.
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 SAI160AX70 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 10053 N and the pull force is 9425 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 14074 N.
No, the standard SAI cylinder will drift if air pressure is lost. For suspended or vertical loads that require fail-safe holding, use the SAIL variant with an air-released lock or an external rod lock.
