The AirTAC SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX135S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 135mm stroke, G3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its standardized mounting interface makes it interchangeable with other ISO 15552 cylinders at the mounting interface.
The AirTAC SAI160X135-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation. It provides a robust push force of 10053 N and a pull force of 9425 N at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for pressing, lifting, and clamping massive payloads. The 135 mm stroke is a made-to-order length tailored for specialized mid-stroke machinery processes.
This specific configuration includes a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance in harsh or washdown environments. It features PT tapered port threads and is equipped with a magnet (-S) for seamless integration with CMSE or DMSE sensor switches along the dual grooves on the extruded aluminum barrel.

Related SAI-family variants: SAID (double rod), SAIJ (adjustable stroke), SAIL (with lock), SAIF (with valve), BSAI (enclasp / clamp-lock), and SAI-S with built-in magnet. Rod material: carbon steel (blank) / SUS420J2 (A) / SUS304 (B); seals: TPU (blank) / Viton H / NBR N.
Generates 14074 N at 0.7 MPa to form thick metal sheets and drive robust stamping dies.
Uses the 135 mm stroke for precise pressing and seating of heavy automotive sub-assemblies.
The SUS304 rod endures corrosive washdown environments while lifting large palletized loads.
Selecting this 160 mm bore is ideal when 125 mm (6136 N push at 0.5 MPa) lacks the necessary thrust for your heaviest tooling, but you want to avoid the bulk of a 200 mm unit. Because this model uses a non-standard 135 mm stroke, it is manufactured to order to fit precise machine spacing requirements.
For any application requiring the load to remain securely held without continuous air pressure, note that a standard cylinder will drift. The adjustable air cushions at both ends only decelerate the piston near stroke end; they do not lock it. To hold position, specify the SAIL (air-released lock) variant or utilize an external pilot-operated check valve. As a dimensionally interchangeable ISO 15552 component, it serves as a direct replacement for other ISO 15552 profile cylinders, utilizing a G3/4 port and standard mounting accessories like TC trunnions or CA clevises.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, it provides 10053 N of push force and 9425 N of pull force. At the maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa, the theoretical push force reaches 15708 N.
No, a standard double-acting SAI cylinder will drift if air pressure is lost. The adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston at the stroke ends; they do not act as a brake. For position holding, use the SAIL lock variant or an external rod lock.
