About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX270
The AirTAC SAI160X270 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation. Delivering a robust push force of 14074 N at 0.7 MPa, this 160 mm bore unit is built to move substantial masses. The 270 mm stroke provides the extended travel needed for large presses and heavy material handling. Its extruded aluminum barrel design eliminates tie-rods, offering a clean profile that integrates seamlessly into modern machinery.
This configuration features a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod for superior corrosion resistance in harsh or washdown environments. It utilizes PT tapered port threads and operates without a magnet. For applications requiring position holding without continuous air pressure, consider the SAIL locking variant or an external rod lock, as the standard adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston at stroke ends.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX270 Is Used
Heavy Metal Forming
Provides the high thrust required for bending, stamping, and forming thick metal sheets in industrial fabrication lines.
Large Injection Molds
Actuates heavy molds and platens in plastic injection machinery, utilizing the 270 mm stroke for reliable core pulling.
Pallet Handling
Drives robust lifting and positioning mechanisms for heavy pallets and automated storage retrieval systems.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX270 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 160 mm bore cylinder makes sense when 100 mm bore models (providing 5497 N push at 0.7 MPa) lack the thrust for your heavy loads. If you need even more power, the 200 mm bore generates 21991 N at 0.7 MPa. Because this 270 mm stroke exceeds 300 mm, it does not strictly require external guide rails, but you must still manage side loads carefully to prevent rod-bearing bending. Using a guided cylinder design is recommended if the application involves offset loads.
As a true ISO 15552 cylinder, this model is dimensionally interchangeable with other ISO 15552 profile cylinders. When replacing a unit, match the 160 mm bore, 270 mm stroke, G3/4 PT ports, and your required mounting accessory (such as FA flange or TC trunnion). Since this unit lacks the -S magnet suffix, it cannot host CMSE or DMSE sensors without modification.
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 SAI160BX270 FAQ
At an operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, this 160 mm bore cylinder provides a push force of 14074 N and a pull force of 9425 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
No, the standard SAI cylinder does not hold position when air pressure is lost. The adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston at the end of the stroke. For dead-load holding, use the SAIL lock variant or an external pilot-operated check valve.
