About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX280S
The AirTAC SAI160X280-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation. Delivering a robust 14074 N of push force at 0.7 MPa, this 160 mm bore unit is built to move substantial masses across its 280 mm stroke. The extruded aluminum barrel design omits traditional tie-rods, providing a sleek profile while maintaining strict dimensional interchangeability with other ISO 15552 cylinders.
This specific configuration includes a -S magnet for direct mounting of CMSE or DMSE sensor switches along the dual side grooves. It is equipped with a highly corrosion-resistant SUS304 stainless steel piston rod (material code B) and features PT tapered port threads. Adjustable air cushions at both ends ensure smooth deceleration of heavy payloads within the 30-500 mm/s operating speed range.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX280S Is Used
Heavy Machinery Clamping
Provides immense 14074 N clamping force at 0.7 MPa to secure large metal castings or heavy structural components during machining operations.
Automated Pallet Lifting
Lifts heavy palletized goods or industrial assemblies over a 280 mm stroke, utilizing the integrated magnet for precise end-of-stroke position verification.
Large Press Transfer
Actuates heavy tooling or press dies with smooth deceleration, leveraging the 50 mm adjustable air cushions to prevent impact damage at stroke ends.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX280S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 160 mm bore makes sense when the 100 mm class (offering 5497 N at 0.7 MPa) is insufficient for your load requirements, but you want to avoid stepping up to the massive 200 mm size. For a 280 mm stroke, the unsupported piston rod is subject to bending under side loads; utilizing an external guide rail or a guided cylinder mechanism is strongly recommended to prevent premature rod-bearing wear.
Because this is a standard double-acting cylinder, it relies on continuous air pressure to hold a load. If your application requires position holding or drop protection upon air loss, integrate an external pilot-operated check valve or select the SAIL (air-released lock) variant. This model uses a G3/4 port, features a PT thread type, and is fully interchangeable with standard ISO 15552 mounting accessories like FA flanges or TC trunnions.
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.
