About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX185
The AirTAC SAI160X185 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder built for heavy-duty automation. It generates a substantial 14074 N of push force at 0.7 MPa, making it ideal for high-impact pressing and heavy load manipulation. The 185 mm stroke is a made-to-order dimension, offering tailored motion for specialized machinery.
This specific configuration features a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance and a PT tapered port thread. For environments requiring high-temperature endurance, the standard TPU seals can be substituted with Viton (H) elastomers. If your workflow demands position holding without live air pressure, consider the SAIL variant or an external rod lock.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX185 Is Used
Heavy Metal Forming
Provides the 14074 N push force at 0.7 MPa required for bending, stamping, and forming thick metal components.
Automotive Assembly
Drives large-scale robotic welding fixtures and heavy component positioning on automotive production lines.
Injection Molding Extraction
Utilizes the robust 160 mm bore and SUS304 rod to reliably extract heavy molded parts from industrial presses.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX185 the Right Cylinder?
With a 14074 N push force at 0.7 MPa, stepping down to the 125 bore drops force to 8590 N, while the massive 200 bore yields 21991 N. Because this stroke is 185 mm, side-load stress on the rod bearing is moderate but manageable; ensure rigid mounting using FA or FB flanges. For longer unsupported strokes exceeding 300 mm, an external guide rail is strongly recommended to prevent rod bending.
This model is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, serving as a direct replacement for other ISO 15552 profile cylinders. It uses a PT G3/4 port, accepts TC trunnion mounts, and lacks a magnet (-S) for sensor switches. Remember that the standard adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke ends; they do not hold loads pneumatically.
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.
