About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX260
The AirTAC SAI160X260 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation. It delivers a substantial 14074 N push force at 0.7 MPa, making it well-suited for high-inertia loads requiring a 260 mm stroke. The extruded aluminum barrel omits tie rods, providing a clean exterior that is dimensionally interchangeable with other ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
This specific configuration features a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod, offering superior corrosion resistance for harsh or washdown environments. The fluid porting utilizes PT tapered threads. For elevated thermal demands, the standard TPU seals can be swapped for Viton (H) compounds to handle temperatures up to 70 C.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX260 Is Used
Heavy Metal Stamping
Provides the 14074 N force at 0.7 MPa needed to actuate large press dies and form thick gauge metal components.
Injection Molding Eject
Ejects heavy molded plastic or composite parts from large injection machinery using the durable SUS304 rod.
Pallet Lift Stations
Lifts fully loaded pallets in automated distribution hubs where high thrust and a 260 mm stroke are required.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX260 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 160 mm bore over the smaller 125 mm bore increases your 0.5 MPa push thrust from 6136 N to 10053 N, providing robust power for heavy lifting. Conversely, if 10053 N is sufficient, the 125 mm bore saves envelope space. This 260 mm stroke is standard, but always verify side-load conditions. At strokes of 300 mm or more, unsupported rods are highly susceptible to bending under lateral forces; utilize an external guide rail or a fully guided cylinder to protect the rod bearing.
This model uses a PT G3/4 port and accepts standard ISO 15552 mounting accessories like FA flanges or TC trunnions. It lacks a magnet (-S), so position sensing via CMSE or DMSE switches is not possible without modification. Note that the adjustable air cushions decelerate the piston near stroke ends but do not lock the load; if pressure drops, the rod will drift. Use the SAIL or BSAI variant for true pneumatic locking.
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.
