About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX170S
The AirTAC SAI160X170-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation. It generates a substantial push force of 10053 N at 0.5 MPa and 14074 N at 0.7 MPa, making it ideal for high-thrust pressing and clamping operations. The 170 mm stroke provides ample extension for robust machinery.
Built with a SUS304 stainless steel rod, this version ensures maximum corrosion resistance for harsh or washdown environments. It includes a magnet for CMSE/DMSE sensor integration and utilizes PT tapered port threads. As a genuine ISO 15552 profile barrel design, it offers direct dimensional interchangeability for machinery upgrades without requiring custom brackets.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX170S Is Used
Heavy-Duty Stamping
Provides the 14074 N force at 0.7 MPa required to form and stamp thick metal components in automotive production lines.
Large-Scale Clamping
Secures oversized workpieces during heavy machining operations, utilizing the 170 mm stroke to accommodate varying part sizes.
Pallet Stopping
Acts as a high-force stopper on heavy-load roller conveyors, safely halting fully loaded pallets without deflection.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX170S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 160 mm bore over the smaller 125 mm option upgrades your thrust from 8590 N to 14074 N at 0.7 MPa, providing extra power for demanding loads. Conversely, if your application only requires 6136 N, stepping down to the 125 mm bore saves space and air consumption. The 170 mm stroke is well below the 1500 mm maximum, keeping the rod bearing stress low.
Because the standard SAI series relies on air pressure to maintain position, the piston will drift if supply air is lost. For applications requiring dead-stop holding under load, integrate the SAIL locking variant or an external rod lock. To mount this cylinder, use standard ISO 15552 accessories like FA flanges or TC trunnions, and specify the -S magnet for CMSE/DMSE 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 SAI160BX170S FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, this 160 mm bore cylinder generates a push force of 14074 N and a pull force of 9425 N.
No, the standard SAI cylinder will drift downward if air pressure is lost. For fail-safe load holding, use the SAIL variant with an air-released lock or an external rod lock.
