About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX180
The AirTAC SAI160X180 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 160mm bore and 180mm stroke. It delivers robust thrust of 10053 N on the extend stroke at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for heavy-duty pressing and high-mass positioning tasks.
This variant features a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod for superior corrosion resistance and includes PT tapered port threads. The extruded aluminum barrel incorporates sensor grooves on both sides for CMSE or DMSE switches, though this specific configuration is supplied without a piston magnet.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX180 Is Used
Heavy Metal Stamping
Provides the 10053 N of force at 0.5 MPa required to seat heavy stamping dies and form thick-gauge metal components securely.
Large Mold Handling
Shifts substantial injection or compression molds into position within large press machinery using its 180mm travel distance.
Automotive Assembly
Performs heavy structural riveting and component pressing in automotive sub-assembly lines where high kinetic energy is necessary.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX180 the Right Cylinder?
If your application requires less force, stepping down to the 125mm bore yields 6136 N at 0.5 MPa, while the 200mm bore offers 15708 N for heavier loads. Because this 180mm stroke is under the 300mm threshold, severe rod bearing bending is less of a concern, but side loads should still be managed with external guides. Note that the adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke ends; if the machine loses air pressure, the load will drift. For position holding without live pressure, specify the SAIL lock or BSAI clamp-lock variant. As a dimensionally interchangeable ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it serves as a direct replacement for other ISO 15552 standard actuators with matching PT G3/4 ports and compatible mounting 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.
