About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX15S
The AirTAC SAI160X15-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for high-force, short-stroke tasks. It delivers a robust push force of 10053 N at just 0.5 MPa, making it ideal for heavy pressing or clamping operations within a tight 15 mm travel. The extruded aluminum barrel design ensures rigid alignment without tie-rods.
This specific configuration includes a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod (material code B) for superior corrosion resistance in harsh environments. Equipped with a built-in magnet (-S), it seamlessly integrates with CMSE and DMSE sensor switches mounted in the dual side grooves. Fluid porting utilizes PT tapered threads, and the standard adjustable air cushions protect the end caps from impact.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX15S Is Used
Heavy-Duty Stamping
Provides intense 10053 N impact force for short-travel metal deformation and marking tasks.
Industrial Clamping
Secures large fabricated weldments firmly in place during secondary machining operations.
Riveting Assembly
Applies consistent high-tonnage pressure to set rivets on heavy structural steel components.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX15S the Right Cylinder?
Select this 160 mm bore model when 100 mm or 125 mm cylinders lack the necessary thrust, stepping up from the 125 bore's 6136 N at 0.5 MPa. The 15 mm stroke is highly specialized for brief, intense movements. Because the stroke is minimal, rod-bearing bending is not a concern here. However, if your application requires holding a load without continuous air pressure, note that standard air cushions only decelerate the piston and do not lock it; you would need the SAIL or BSAI variant for fail-safe braking. This unit drops into any ISO 15552 mounting interface using PT ports, a 160 mm bore, and compatible FA or LB accessories.
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 SAI160BX15S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 160 mm bore cylinder provides a push force of 10053 N and a pull force of 9425 N. If you increase the pressure to 0.7 MPa, the push force rises to 14074 N.
Yes, the SAI160X15-S is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552. You can drop it into existing machinery setups designed for standard ISO 15552 profile cylinders with a 160 mm bore and 15 mm stroke.
