About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX165
The AirTAC SAI160X165 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty positioning. It provides a substantial push force of 10053 N and a pull force of 9425 N at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for high-load clamping and lifting tasks within a 165 mm stroke. The extruded aluminum barrel design omits tie rods, offering a clean exterior that drops directly into standardized ISO 15552 mounting interfaces.
This specific configuration is built with a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod (option B) for superior corrosion resistance in harsh washdown or chemically exposed environments. It utilizes PT tapered port threads and operates at speeds between 30-500 mm/s. Although it lacks a standard magnet for sensor tracks, the barrel retains dual-side sensor grooves ready for CMSE or DMSE switches if a magnetic piston is integrated later.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX165 Is Used
Heavy-Duty Pressing
Applies 10053 N of force at 0.5 MPa to securely stake, press, or form robust metal components in automated fabrication cells.
Chemical Processing
The SUS304 stainless steel rod withstands corrosive vapors and frequent washdowns, making it ideal for valve actuation in chemical plants.
Pallet Handling
Lifts and positions heavy industrial pallets with precision, utilizing the robust 160 mm profile barrel for high-capacity logistics.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX165 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this model, stepping down to a 125 mm bore drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 6136 N, which may be insufficient for heavy press operations, whereas stepping up to a 200 mm bore yields 15708 N for massive load movement. The 165 mm stroke is highly stable, but for any future upgrades exceeding 300 mm, you must manage side-load risks by using an external guide rail or a fully guided cylinder to prevent rod-bearing bending.
As a standard pneumatic actuator, this cylinder relies on live air pressure to maintain its position. If the air supply is exhausted or the valve is centered, the piston will drift and drop the load. For applications requiring strict position holding without continuous pressure, select the SAIL variant with an air-released lock or the BSAI bidirectional clamp-lock cylinder. Replacement is straightforward: match the 160 mm bore, 165 mm stroke, G3/4 port, and required mounting accessories like TC trunnions or FA flanges.
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 SAI160BX165 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the SAI160X165 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 SAI160X165 is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552. You can replace other ISO 15552 profile cylinders by matching the 160 mm bore, 165 mm stroke, G3/4 port, and mounting interface.
