About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX15
The AirTAC SAI160X15 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty operations, delivering a substantial push force of 10053 N at 0.5 MPa. With a short 15 mm stroke, it is purpose-built for high-force clamping and pressing tasks where minimal travel is required. The extruded aluminum barrel design eliminates tie-rods, providing a clean profile that seamlessly integrates into standardized machinery layouts.
This specific configuration features a SUS304 stainless steel rod (material code B) for superior corrosion resistance in harsh environments. It utilizes PT tapered port threads and operates without a magnet. For applications requiring position holding without continuous air pressure, this standard cylinder will drift, so the SAIL or BSAI locking variants should be evaluated instead.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX15 Is Used
Heavy-Duty Stamping
Provides the intense 10053 N output force required for short-travel metal stamping and forming operations.
Industrial Clamping
Ideal for securing massive workpieces in machining centers where a rigid 15 mm stroke delivers immediate, high-tonnage holding.
Press Fit Assembly
Excels at pressing heavy-duty bearings or bushings into housings, utilizing its massive bore capacity to overcome high insertion resistance.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX15 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 160 mm bore cylinder is ideal when a system requires extreme force in a compact stroke footprint, as stepping down to a 125 mm bore drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 6136 N. The short 15 mm stroke minimizes rod-bearing bending stress, making it highly robust against side loads compared to longer strokes.
As a true ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it serves as a direct dimensional replacement for other ISO 15552 cylinders. Ensure your setup accommodates the G3/4 PT ports and pairs with appropriate mounting accessories like FA flanges or TC trunnions. Note that because this unit lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot directly host CMSE or DMSE sensor switches.
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 SAI160BX15 FAQ
At an operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, this 160 mm bore cylinder generates a push force of 10053 N and a pull force of 9425 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 14074 N.
No, the standard SAI160X15 is double-acting and will drift if air pressure is removed or exhausted. The integrated air cushion only decelerates the piston at stroke end. For true load holding, consider the SAIL or BSAI locking variants.
