About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX250
The AirTAC SAI160X250 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation. It provides a substantial 14074 N push force at 0.7 MPa, utilizing a 250 mm stroke to drive large mechanisms. The extruded aluminum barrel design omits tie rods, maximizing structural stability while maintaining strict dimensional interchangeability with other ISO 15552 compliant actuators.
This specific configuration is built with a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod (option B) for superior corrosion resistance in humid or chemically exposed settings. It features PT tapered port threads and operates without a magnet. For applications requiring intermediate stopping under pressure loss, consider the related SAIL locking variant or an external BSAI clamp-lock.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX250 Is Used
Heavy Metal Stamping
Provides the 14074 N force at 0.7 MPa necessary to actuate large mechanical stamping presses and heavy-gauge sheet metal bending fixtures.
Large Mold Handling
Uses the 250 mm stroke to push and pull substantial injection molds or die sets in and out of processing machinery safely.
Pallet Positioning
Shifts loaded pallets or heavy material carts along transfer lines, utilizing the SUS304 rod to withstand washdown environments.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX250 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 160 mm bore is ideal when 100 mm (5497 N at 0.7 MPa) lacks the power to move heavy payloads, but the 200 mm bore (21991 N at 0.7 MPa) would be physical overkill. The 250 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard limit, making it a stock-friendly choice for moderate travel distances.
Because this is a double-acting cylinder, it relies entirely on continuous air pressure to hold its position; exhausting the air or centering the control valve will cause the load to drift. The G3/4 PT porting and M36x2 rod thread must match your existing plumbing and clevis hardware. Mounting accessories like the TC trunnion or CA clevis ensure precise ISO 15552 alignment.
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 SAI160BX250 FAQ
At a standard 0.7 MPa operating pressure, this 160 mm bore cylinder generates 14074 N of push force and 9425 N of pull force. It can safely operate up to a maximum pressure of 1.0 MPa.
Yes, as a genuine AirTAC profile cylinder, its mounting interface is dimensionally interchangeable with other ISO 15552 standard actuators. Simply match the 160 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, G3/4 PT ports, and M36x2 rod thread for a seamless swap.
