About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX900
The AirTAC SAI160X900 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation. It delivers a robust 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa, extending across a substantial 900 mm stroke to handle massive payloads. This genuine AirTAC component integrates seamlessly into existing ISO 15552 mounting interfaces.
This specific configuration features a SUS420J2 stainless steel piston rod (material code A) for superior corrosion resistance in humid or washdown environments. It utilizes PT tapered port threads and lacks a standard magnet, though the extruded aluminum barrel retains dual-side sensor grooves for future CMSE or DMSE switch integration if needed.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX900 Is Used
Heavy Machinery Assembly
Provides the massive 10053 N force required to press large structural components and heavy machinery frames together during automated assembly.
Bulk Material Diversion
Utilizes the extended 900 mm stroke to actuate large-scale diverter gates on heavy-duty conveyor lines handling bulk aggregates.
Automotive Pressing
Drives large pressing and forming fixtures in automotive manufacturing, leveraging the SUS420J2 rod to resist corrosion in fluid-rich environments.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX900 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 160 mm bore unit provides 10053 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa; stepping down to a 125 mm bore yields 6136 N, whereas a 200 mm bore offers 15708 N. Because this model features a 900 mm stroke, the extended rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads. Always utilize external guide rails or a fully guided cylinder to prevent premature rod-bearing wear and seal failure.
Operating speed ranges from 30-500 mm/s, governed by adjustable air cushions at both ends. Remember that the standard SAI does not secure a load when air pressure is removed; the piston will drift. For fail-safe load holding without live pressure, specify the SAIL variant with an air-released lock or the BSAI bidirectional clamp-lock. As a true ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it serves as a direct dimensional direct replacement for other ISO 15552 cylinders.
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 SAI160AX900 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 160 mm bore cylinder generates 10053 N of push force and 9425 N of pull force. At the maximum 1.0 MPa pressure, the theoretical push force reaches 20050 N.
Yes, the SAI160X900 is a genuine ISO 15552 profile cylinder, meaning its mounting interface and envelope dimensions are interchangeable with other ISO 15552 standard cylinders. Ensure your setup uses the G3/4 port and appropriate mounting accessories.
