About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX10S
The AirTAC SAI160X10-S is a genuine ISO 15552 double-acting profile cylinder engineered for high-force, short-stroke automation. Delivering a robust 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this 160 mm bore actuator is built to move heavy masses abruptly within a tight 10 mm travel. The extruded aluminum barrel omits tie rods, presenting a clean profile that drops directly into existing ISO 15552 mounting interfaces.
This specific configuration features a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod (material code B) for superior corrosion resistance in washdown or chemically exposed settings. It includes an integrated magnet (-S) for position sensing, interacting seamlessly with CMSE or DMSE switches housed in the dual-side sensor grooves. For elevated thermal demands, the standard TPU seals can be swapped for Viton (H) components.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX10S Is Used
Heavy-Duty Pressing
Generates 10053 N of force at 0.5 MPa for short-stroke stamping, riveting, and metal-forming tasks.
Pallet Clamping
Holds heavy pallets or industrial fixtures securely in place during machining or transfer operations.
High-Force Ejection
Provides abrupt, powerful ejection of finished metal parts from heavy-duty press dies.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX10S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 160 mm bore is appropriate when the neighboring 200 mm bore (15708 N at 0.5 MPa) is physically too large or simply overpowered for the task, yet the 125 mm bore (6136 N at 0.5 MPa) lacks the necessary thrust. The 10 mm stroke is optimal for high-impact clamping or pressing operations where minimal travel distance is required.
Because the stroke is well under 300 mm, rod-bearing bending from side loads is not a primary concern. However, standard pneumatic cushions cannot decelerate a massive load in only 10 mm of travel. Furthermore, this cylinder cannot hold a load if air pressure drops; use the SAIL variant with an air-released lock or the BSAI clamp-lock for fail-safe positioning. This unit features PT tapered port threads.
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 SAI160BX10S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 160 mm bore cylinder provides 10053 N of push force and 9425 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 14074 N.
Yes, the SAI profile barrel is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552. You can drop it into existing mounting hardware like FA/FB flanges without redesigning the fixture.
