About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX950
The AirTAC SAI160X950 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty operations, delivering a substantial 14074 N of push force at 0.7 MPa. This specific 950 mm stroke configuration is tailored for equipment requiring extensive linear reach within a standardized mounting envelope.
Built to endure demanding environments, this unit features a SUS420J2 stainless steel piston rod for superior corrosion and wear resistance compared to standard carbon steel. It incorporates PT tapered port threads and utilizes adjustable air cushions at both ends to effectively decelerate the massive 160 mm bore piston over its long travel distance.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX950 Is Used
Heavy Stamping Presses
Provides the high clamping force and extended reach needed to actuate large dies and heavy fixtures in metal forming operations.
Automotive Assembly Jigs
Drives large body-panel positioning arms over wide spans, utilizing the 950 mm stroke to move components between robotic welding stations.
Bulk Material Diverter
Actuates heavy-duty diverter gates on aggregate or mining conveyors, where the robust 160 mm bore easily overcomes material resistance.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX950 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 160 mm bore unit is appropriate when 10053 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa is insufficient for your application, or when stepping down from a 200 mm bore (15708 N at 0.5 MPa) is desired to save space and air consumption. The extensive 950 mm stroke requires careful attention to mechanical stability; long unsupported rods are highly susceptible to bending under side loads, so utilizing an external guide rail or a fully guided cylinder module is strongly recommended to prevent premature rod-bearing wear.
As a true ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it serves as a dimensionally interchangeable direct replacement for other ISO 15552 standard actuators. To replicate this exact configuration, specify a 160 mm bore, 950 mm stroke, PT G3/4 port threads, and the SUS420J2 (code A) rod material. Note that this is a standard double-acting cylinder; it will not hold a load if air pressure is lost. For position holding without live pressure, consider the SAIL (air-released lock) or BSAI (bidirectional clamp-lock) variants.
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 SAI160AX950 FAQ
