About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX30S
The AirTAC SAI160X30-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty operations, delivering a substantial push force of 10053 N at just 0.5 MPa. With a compact 30 mm stroke, this extruded aluminum barrel design provides high power density for short-trroke clamping and lifting tasks.
This specific configuration features a SUS304 stainless steel rod (material code B) for superior corrosion resistance, paired with PT tapered port threads. The integrated magnet (-S) enables direct mounting of CMSE or DMSE sensor switches along the dual grooves machined into the barrel sides, ensuring precise end-of-stroke detection.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX30S Is Used
Heavy-Duty Stamping
Generates 10053 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa for short-stroke metal forming, riveting, and stamping tasks requiring immense impact force.
Robotic Clamping
Provides rigid, high-tonnage workholding for large machining centers, securing heavy castings firmly in place during aggressive milling.
Press Fitting
Delivers precise, controlled force to seat large bearings, bushings, or pins into heavy housings without requiring full stroke extension.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX30S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 160 mm bore over a 125 mm bore provides a significant force upgrade, jumping from 6136 N to 10053 N at 0.5 MPa. The short 30 mm stroke is optimal for high-force pressing or gripping where minimal extension is required. Because the stroke is well under 300 mm, rod-bearing bending stress is negligible, and standard mounting accessories like FA flanges or TC trunnions will handle the load effectively.
As a dimensionally interchangeable ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it serves as a direct replacement for other standard cylinders with identical bore and stroke dimensions. Ensure your setup specifies PT port threads and utilizes the -S magnet option if position feedback is required. If the machinery loses air pressure, this cylinder cannot hold its load; for fail-safe holding, consider the SAIL variant with an air-released lock or the BSAI bidirectional clamp-lock.
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 SAI160BX30S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the SAI160X30-S generates a push force of 10053 N and a pull force of 9425 N. At the maximum pressure of 1.0 MPa, the theoretical maximum force reaches 2050 kgf.
Yes, the -S suffix indicates an integrated magnet, allowing CMSE or DMSE switches to be mounted directly into the barrel's dual sensor grooves. It is a true ISO 15552 profile cylinder, making it dimensionally interchangeable with other ISO 15552 standard cylinders of the same bore and stroke.
