About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX70S
The AirTAC SAI160X70-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 actuator handles high-thrust tasks with ease. The 70 mm stroke provides rapid, short-travel movement. Its extruded aluminum barrel design omits tie rods, offering a clean exterior that is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 standards.
This specific configuration includes a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (material code A) for enhanced corrosion resistance in demanding environments. The -S suffix indicates an integrated magnet, allowing seamless operation with CMSE or DMSE series sensor switches fitted into the dual-side sensor grooves. Fluid ports feature PT tapered threads, and the cylinder includes adjustable air cushions at both ends to manage kinetic energy.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX70S Is Used
Heavy Stamping
Provides the robust linear force necessary for metal forming and heavy stamping presses requiring high impact energy.
Large Clamp Jigs
Secures oversized workpieces in machining centers where high clamping forces prevent movement during aggressive milling.
Press Fitting
Drives large bearings or bushings into heavy housings, utilizing the 10053 N thrust at 0.5 MPa for reliable insertion.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX70S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 160 mm bore over the smaller 125 mm neighbor is justified when your application requires more power; the 125 mm bore yields 6136 N at 0.5 MPa, whereas this 160 mm unit provides 10053 N. Conversely, if your load requirements are lower, dropping down reduces unnecessary air consumption. Because the 70 mm stroke is relatively short, side-load stress on the rod bearing is minimal compared to longer travel models.
For installations needing fail-safe position holding during air loss, remember the standard SAI does not lock or brake the piston; it only decelerates via cushioning. Use the SAIL variant with an air-released lock or the BSAI bidirectional clamp-lock for secure load holding. This unit is a direct replacement for other ISO 15552 profile cylinders, matching the 160 mm bore, 70 mm stroke, PT G3/4 port, and standard mounting accessories like the FA flange or TC trunnion.
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 SAI160AX70S FAQ
