About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX230
The AirTAC SAI160X230 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation. It provides a substantial push force of 10053N at 0.5 MPa, extending 230mm to drive massive payloads in large-scale machinery. The extruded aluminum barrel design omits traditional tie-rods, yielding a sleeker profile while maintaining strict dimensional interchangeability with other ISO 15552 actuators.
This specific configuration features a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod (material code B), making it highly suitable for environments where corrosion resistance and surface cleanliness are critical. Because it lacks the -S magnet suffix, this unit is optimized for pure pneumatic actuation rather than electronic position sensing, though the barrel retains its dual sensor grooves for system flexibility.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX230 Is Used
Heavy Stamping Presses
Generates 14074N of push force at 0.7 MPa to actuate large metal forming and blanking presses with reliable, high-tonnage impact.
Automotive Assembly Jigs
Drives heavy-duty clamping fixtures and structural component alignment jigs where high rigidity and a corrosion-resistant SUS304 rod are required.
Bulk Material Diverter
Shifts heavy aggregate or bulk material diverter gates on high-capacity conveyor lines, utilizing the 230mm stroke to fully open heavy flow channels.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX230 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 160mm bore is appropriate when the 125mm class (8590N push at 0.5 MPa) is insufficient for your load requirements, but you want to avoid stepping up to the massive 200mm size. The 230mm stroke is a standard made-to-order length, falling well within the 1500mm maximum limit for this bore. For long-stroke applications exceeding 300mm, external guide rails are recommended to prevent rod-bearing bending under side loads.
This model uses PT tapered threaded ports (G3/4) and integrates adjustable air cushions at both ends to decelerate the piston smoothly. Note that standard double-acting cylinders drift when air pressure is removed; if your application requires dead-stop position holding without live air, consider the BSAI clamp-lock variant or an external pilot-operated check valve.
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 SAI160BX230 FAQ
At a standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 160mm bore cylinder generates 10053N of push force and 9425N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 14074N.
