About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX160
The AirTAC SAI160X160 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation. Delivering a robust push force of 10053 N at 0.5 MPa, this 160 mm bore unit is built to move substantial masses. The 160 mm stroke provides the extended travel needed for large presses and heavy material handling. As a genuine AirTAC component, it ensures reliable, high-cycle operation.
Unlike standard carbon steel rods, this specific configuration utilizes a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod (material code B), offering superior corrosion resistance for harsh or washdown environments. The barrel features dual sensor grooves, allowing for easy integration of CMSE or DMSE switches if position feedback is required later. Fluid control is managed via PT tapered port threads, and the extruded aluminum design eliminates tie-rods for a clean, modern profile.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX160 Is Used
Heavy Metal Forming
Provides the intense 10053 N thrust required for bending, stamping, and forming thick metal components in automated fabrication lines.
Large Assembly Presses
Drives heavy-duty press operations, ensuring components are seated firmly and consistently under high load conditions.
Pallet Handling
Moves heavy loaded pallets or large industrial totes through distribution centers, utilizing the robust 160 mm bore power.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX160 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting the SAI160X160 is appropriate when your application requires upward of 10 kN of thrust. If this exceeds your requirements, stepping down to the 125 mm bore yields 6136 N at 0.5 MPa, which may offer better economy and faster cycling. Conversely, if you need even greater power, the 200 mm bore provides 15708 N at 0.5 MPa.
Because this cylinder lacks an internal locking mechanism, it cannot hold a load in place if air pressure is lost or exhausted; the piston will drift. For vertical loads requiring fail-safe holding, consider the SAIL variant with an air-released lock, or the BSAI bidirectional clamp-lock. For direct compatibility, this model is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, matching standard mounting accessories like the TC trunnion or LB foot. Ensure you specify the -S magnet option if you plan to use reed or solid-state sensors.
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 SAI160BX160 FAQ
At a standard 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.
Yes. The SAI160X160 is a true ISO 15552 profile cylinder, making its mounting dimensions fully interchangeable with other ISO 15552 cylinders from brands like Festo or SMC. It uses a G3/4 port and standard mounting accessories.
