About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX225
The AirTAC SAI160X225 is a double-acting profile cylinder built to exact ISO 15552 dimensional interchangeability standards, providing a direct replacement for any standard ISO 15552 mounting interface. Delivering a substantial push force of 14074 N at 0.7 MPa, this 160 mm bore unit is engineered for heavy-duty industrial tasks. The 225 mm stroke is a made-to-order length, optimized for specific machinery requirements outside the standard range.
This specific configuration features a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod (option B), ensuring superior corrosion resistance and durability in harsh or washdown environments. It utilizes PT tapered port threads and lacks a standard magnet, meaning it cannot host direct-mount reed or solid-state sensors without modification. For applications requiring end-of-stroke signaling, adding the -S magnet variant and CMSE/DMSE switches into the dual barrel grooves is required.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX225 Is Used
Heavy Metal Stamping
Provides the high kinetic energy and 14074 N thrust required to drive large stamping presses and heavy-gauge metal forming dies.
Automotive Assembly
Actuates heavy structural clamping arms and robotic positioning fixtures on automotive production lines where ISO 15552 mounting is mandated.
Pallet Diverting
Powers heavy-duty pallet pushers and multi-ton diverters in high-throughput logistics centers, easily handling massive inertial loads.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX225 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 160 mm bore provides massive thrust, stepping up significantly from the 100 mm bore which yields 5497 N at 0.7 MPa. If 14074 N is excessive for your application, dropping to the 125 mm bore reduces the push force to 8590 N while saving physical envelope space. Because the 225 mm stroke exceeds the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke parameter, it is classified as a nonstandard_stroke and requires custom manufacturing.
For any stroke length of 300 mm or more, side loads induce severe rod-bearing bending moments; utilizing an external guide rail or a fully guided cylinder is critical to prevent premature seal failure. Furthermore, if your machinery must hold a load statically when air pressure is removed, the standard SAI cylinder will drift; you must integrate an external pilot-operated check valve or specify the SAIL (air-released lock) variant for secure positioning.
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.
