About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX20S
The AirTAC SAI160X20-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for high-force tasks in tight spaces. It delivers a substantial 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for heavy pressing and clamping operations that require minimal travel distance.
This specific configuration includes a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod for superior corrosion resistance and a magnetic piston (-S) for direct compatibility with CMSE and DMSE sensor switches. It utilizes PT tapered port threads and features an extruded aluminum barrel with integrated sensor grooves on both sides.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX20S Is Used
Heavy-Duty Stamping
Provides the intense 10053 N force needed for short-stroke metal stamping and forming operations.
Industrial Clamping
Secures large, heavy workpieces during machining with a highly reliable 20 mm clamping stroke.
Riveting Assembly
Applies consistent high-pressure riveting force in automated automotive assembly lines.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX20S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 160 mm bore model is ideal when an application demands extreme thrust within a very short 20 mm stroke. If your system requires less force, stepping down to the 125 mm bore yields 6136 N at 0.5 MPa, which may suffice for lighter duty cycles.
Because the standard SAI lacks a locking mechanism, it cannot hold a load if air pressure is lost; for dead-end safety, consider the SAIL (air-released lock) or BSAI (clamp-lock) variants. As a true ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it serves as a direct replacement for other ISO 15552 cylinders, matching the exact bore, stroke, PT port, and mounting accessory dimensions.
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 SAI160BX20S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 160 mm bore cylinder provides 10053 N of push force and 9425 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 14074 N.
Yes, the SAI160X20-S is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552. You can drop it in to replace other ISO 15552 profile cylinders with matching 160 mm bore, 20 mm stroke, and PT port specifications.
