About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX800S
The AirTAC SAI160X800-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation. Delivering a substantial push force of 14074 N at 0.7 MPa, this 160 mm bore unit utilizes an 800 mm stroke to drive large industrial mechanisms. The extruded aluminum barrel design omits tie-rods, providing a clean exterior that simplifies mounting and sensor placement.
Configured with a -S magnet, the barrel accommodates CMSE and DMSE solid-state switches along its dual sensor grooves for precise end-of-stroke detection. This specific model features a SUS420J2 stainless steel piston rod (material code A) for enhanced corrosion resistance compared to standard carbon steel. It also uses PT tapered port threads and includes adjustable air cushions at both ends to decelerate the massive payload smoothly.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX800S Is Used
Heavy Stamping Presses
Provides the high thrust and long reach necessary to feed heavy gauge metal sheets into large mechanical presses.
Automotive Assembly Jigs
Actuates large structural components and chassis frames over an 800 mm distance during robotic welding operations.
Bulk Material Diversion
Drives heavy-duty diverter arms on conveyor systems to route dense pallets or bulk material containers.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX800S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 160 mm bore cylinder is appropriate when application thrust requirements exceed the 8590 N push force of the 125 mm variant but do not necessitate stepping up to the 200 mm bore, which offers 21991 N at 0.7 MPa. Operating speed for this larger bore ranges from 30-500 mm/s. Because this model features an 800 mm stroke, the extended piston rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads. To prevent premature rod-bearing wear or failure, external guide rails or a fully guided cylinder should be implemented to absorb lateral forces.
As a dimensionally interchangeable ISO 15552 profile cylinder, this unit serves as a direct replacement for other ISO 15552 standard cylinders, matching mounting footprints such as LB, FA, and TC without machine redesign. Note that the adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near the end of travel; they do not lock the rod. If the application requires the load to be held in place during a loss of air pressure, an external pilot-operated check valve or the BSAI bidirectional clamp-lock variant must be used.
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 SAI160AX800S FAQ
At a standard operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, this 160 mm bore cylinder generates a push force of 14074 N and a pull force of 14074 N. The maximum theoretical force at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
No, the standard SAI cylinder does not hold position without live air pressure. The adjustable air cushions only slow the piston near stroke end. For load holding, use an external rod lock or the AirTAC BSAI clamp-lock variant.
