About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX230S
The AirTAC SAI160X230-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation. Delivering a robust 14074N push force at 0.7 MPa, this non-standard 230mm stroke variant is built to order for specialized machinery requiring exact mid-stroke lengths. The extruded aluminum barrel eliminates tie-rods, providing a smooth, compact exterior that withstands rigorous industrial environments.
This specific configuration includes a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod (material code B) for superior corrosion resistance in humid or washdown settings. It is equipped with a magnet (-S) for seamless integration with CMSE and DMSE solid-state sensor switches, which mount directly into the dual side grooves. PT tapered ports and adjustable air cushions at both ends ensure secure plumbing and controlled end-of-stroke deceleration.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX230S Is Used
Heavy Metal Stamping
Provides the massive 14074N force required to actuate large press dies and form thick gauge sheet metal components.
Automotive Assembly Jigs
Drives heavy structural clamps and positioning fixtures on automotive welding lines, utilizing the SUS304 rod for weld-spatter resistance.
Pallet Diverters
Actuates heavy-duty diverters and lifting stations on automated pallet conveyors, handling loads that smaller bores cannot move.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX230S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this bore size is appropriate when applications exceed the 8590N push force of a 125mm cylinder but do not require the massive 21991N output of the 200mm series. Because this is a non-standard 230mm stroke, expect a made-to-order lead time. The 160mm bore operates at a controlled speed range of 30-500 mm/s, balancing high inertia with manageable cycle times.
For any stroke length at or above 300mm, external guide rods or a guided cylinder chassis are strongly recommended to prevent piston-rod bending under side loads. Furthermore, standard pneumatic cylinders cannot hold loads safely upon air loss; if your application requires dead-stop holding without live pressure, specify the SAIL locking variant or the BSAI bidirectional clamp-lock cylinder instead of relying on the air cushion.
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 SAI160BX230S FAQ
This 160mm bore cylinder generates 10053N of push force and 9425N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. At the maximum standard operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, it delivers 14074N of push force.
It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 mounting interfaces, meaning it matches standard hole patterns and center distances of other ISO 15552 profile cylinders. Always verify your specific mounting accessory dimensions.
