About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX175
The AirTAC SAI160X175 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder built to deliver substantial thrust for heavy-duty automation. It provides a push force of 10053 N at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for moving large masses over a 175 mm stroke. The extruded aluminum barrel design omits tie rods, presenting a clean exterior that matches standardized ISO 15552 mounting dimensions.
This specific configuration features a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod (material code B), offering superior corrosion resistance for harsh or washdown environments. Fluid ports are PT tapered threads, and the standard TPU seals handle temperatures from -20 to +70 C. For higher thermal demands, Viton (H) seals are available. Although this unit lacks a magnet for proximity sensing, the barrel includes dual-side sensor grooves ready to accept CMSE or DMSE switches if a magnetic piston (-S) is specified later.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX175 Is Used
Heavy Metal Stamping
Generates the high clamping force needed to hold large metal sheets securely in place during heavy-duty stamping and punching operations.
Automotive Assembly Presses
Provides robust, reliable linear motion for pressing large automotive components into subassemblies on the main production line.
Pallet Positioning
Delivers the necessary push power to lift, lower, and accurately position fully loaded heavy-duty industrial pallets within automated storage systems.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX175 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 160 mm bore cylinder is ideal when your application requires pushing forces around 10053 N at 0.5 MPa, bridging the gap between the 125 mm bore (6136 N) and the massive 200 mm bore (15708 N). The 175 mm stroke provides ample travel for heavy lifting or pressing tasks.
Because this is a double-acting cylinder, it relies entirely on live air pressure to move and maintain its position; it will drift if pressure is lost. Do not depend on the adjustable air cushions at the stroke ends to hold a load. If your machinery requires fail-safe position holding under heavy loads, consider the SAIL variant with an air-released lock, or the BSAI bidirectional clamp-lock cylinder. Since the stroke is under 300 mm, side-load stress on the rod bearing is minimal, but always verify axial alignment during installation to maximize seal life.
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.
