About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX240
The AirTAC SAI160X240 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation. Delivering a substantial push force of 10053 N at 0.5 MPa, this 160 mm bore unit is built to drive high-mass payloads. The 240 mm stroke provides the extended travel needed for large clamping, pressing, or lifting cycles.
This model features a robust SUS304 stainless steel piston rod (material code B), making it highly suitable for environments where corrosion resistance is critical. It uses PT tapered port threads and lacks a magnet, meaning it is configured purely for pneumatic actuation without electronic position sensing.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX240 Is Used
Heavy-Duty Pressing
Generates up to 14074 N of thrust at 0.7 MPa, providing the robust force required to seat large bearings, stamp heavy-gauge metal, or form rigid components.
Automotive Assembly
Drives large body-panel lifting and positioning mechanisms where the corrosion-resistant SUS304 rod ensures reliable operation despite coolant or lubricant exposure.
Bulk Material Diverting
Powers heavy-duty diverter arms and large-scale sorting gates on high-throughput packaging lines, easily moving substantial product weights across the 240 mm stroke.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX240 the Right Cylinder?
With a 10053 N output at 0.5 MPa, this 160 mm bore fits perfectly between the 6136 N capacity of the 125 mm bore and the 15708 N maximum of the 200 mm series. Because the 240 mm stroke falls below the 300 mm side-load threshold, standard mounting is highly forgiving, though external guides remain best practice for offset loads.
If your machinery requires the load to stay securely in place during a complete loss of air pressure, this standard actuator will drift. For fail-safe position holding, specify the SAIL (air-released lock) or BSAI (bidirectional clamp-lock) variant instead. As a true ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it serves as a direct replacement for any standard 160 mm bore unit with a G3/4 port and matching stroke.
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 SAI160BX240 FAQ
At a 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 160 mm bore cylinder provides 10053 N of push force and 9425 N of pull force. If you increase the supply to 0.7 MPa, the push force rises to 14074 N.
Yes, the SAI160X240 is a dimensionally interchangeable ISO 15552 profile cylinder. As long as your existing unit shares the 160 mm bore, 240 mm stroke, and G3/4 port interface, it will drop right into your existing mounting setup.
