About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX300
The AirTAC SAI160X300 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation. It generates a substantial push force of 10053 N at 0.5 MPa, extending to 14074 N at 0.7 MPa. The 300 mm stroke provides the extended travel necessary for large-scale material handling and heavy press operations.
Built to exacting ISO 15552 dimensional standards, this extruded aluminum barrel design ensures seamless interchangeability with other ISO 15552 profile cylinders. Per your configuration, the piston rod is constructed from SUS304 stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance, and it features PT tapered port threads. Note that because a magnet suffix (-S) is not specified, this unit will not directly support CMSE or DMSE sensor switches.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX300 Is Used
Heavy Metal Forming
Provides the 14074 N push force at 0.7 MPa required to actuate large stamping presses and heavy-duty forming dies over a 300 mm travel distance.
Pallet Handling
Ideal for lifting and transferring heavy loaded pallets on automated conveyor lines where substantial thrust and extended stroke length are mandatory.
Automotive Assembly
Drives large robotic gripper assemblies and heavy component positioning fixtures, utilizing its SUS304 rod for reliable performance in demanding plant environments.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX300 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 160 mm bore is ideal when 100 mm or 125 mm cylinders lack the necessary thrust, stepping up from the 125 mm bore's 6136 N at 0.5 MPa. At 300 mm of stroke, the extended rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads. To prevent premature rod-bearing wear, integrate an external guide rail or utilize a fully guided cylinder mechanism.
For applications requiring the load to be safely suspended or held in place during a pressure loss or valve centering event, the standard SAI160X300 is unsuitable as it will drift. In these scenarios, specify the SAIL variant with an integrated air-released lock, or pair the cylinder with an external pilot-operated check valve. Mounting hardware options include FA/FB flanges, CA/CB clevises, or TC trunnion joints.
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.
