About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX290
The AirTAC SAI160X290 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty operations, delivering a substantial push force of 10053 N at 0.5 MPa. Its 290 mm stroke is ideal for moving large masses or actuating heavy industrial assemblies.
This specific configuration features a corrosion-resistant SUS304 stainless steel rod and utilizes PT tapered port threads. The extruded aluminum barrel includes dual sensor grooves, allowing for direct mounting of CMSE or DMSE switches if a magnet is added later.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX290 Is Used
Heavy Metal Stamping
Provides the robust 10053 N push force required to operate large mechanical presses and form heavy gauge metal components.
Large Mold Clamping
Secures oversized injection molds or die assemblies during production cycles, utilizing the 290 mm stroke for wide clearance access.
Bulk Material Diversion
Actuates heavy-duty diverter arms on high-capacity conveyor lines to route dense bulk materials or palletized goods.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX290 the Right Cylinder?
Operating at 0.15-1.0 MPa, this bore provides 10053 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less force, stepping down to a 125 mm bore yields 6136 N at the same pressure, saving space and air consumption.
With a 290 mm stroke, evaluate the rod-bearing bending risk under side loads. For purely axial loads this cylinder excels, but external guides are recommended if side forces are present. Note that the adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston at stroke ends; they do not hold the load. If static holding without air pressure is required, specify the SAIL or BSAI variant. As a true ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it serves as a direct replacement matching the 160 mm bore, 290 mm stroke, G3/4 port, and standard mounting accessories.
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 SAI160BX290 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the SAI160X290 generates a push force of 10053 N. If operating pressure is increased to 0.7 MPa, the push force reaches 14074 N.
Yes, the SAI160X290 is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552. It matches the 160 mm bore, 290 mm stroke, and G3/4 port interface of other standard ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
