About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX325S
The AirTAC SAI160X325-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder built for heavy-duty automation. It generates a substantial push force of 14074 N at 0.7 MPa, making it well-suited for high-mass handling tasks requiring a 325 mm travel distance. The extruded aluminum barrel design omits traditional tie-rods for a cleaner profile.
This specific configuration includes a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance in humid or washdown environments. The -S suffix indicates an integrated magnet, allowing direct mounting of CMSE or DMSE series sensor switches along the dual-sided barrel grooves for precise end-position detection.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX325S Is Used
Heavy Stamping
Provides the necessary tonnage to drive large metal forming and stamping presses, ensuring consistent force application across the 325 mm stroke.
Pallet Transfer
Ideal for lifting and transferring heavy loaded pallets on conveyor lines where high push force and stable 325 mm extension are required.
Large Clamp Jigs
Secures massive workholding fixtures during machining operations, utilizing the SUS304 rod to resist corrosion from cutting fluids.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX325S the Right Cylinder?
Stepping down to the 125 mm bore drops the 0.7 MPa push force to 8590 N, while moving up to the 200 mm bore increases it to 21991 N. Choose this 160 mm model when your application strictly requires forces between 14 and 18 kN. At 325 mm of stroke, the extended rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads; always use an external guide rail or a guided cylinder to prevent premature rod-bearing wear.
This cylinder uses a PT tapered G3/4 port and an M36x2 rod thread. It functions as a direct replacement for any ISO 15552 profile cylinder sharing identical mounting dimensions. Note that standard SAI cylinders do not hold loads pneumatically; if pressure drops, the piston will drift. For secure mid-stroke holding, specify the SAIL (air-released lock) or BSAI (clamp-lock) variant.
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 SAI160BX325S FAQ
At a standard operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, this 160 mm bore cylinder generates a push force of 14074 N and a pull force of 9425 N. The maximum theoretical force at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
No, a standard double-acting SAI cylinder will drift or drop if air pressure is removed. The adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston at stroke ends. For fail-safe load holding, use the SAIL variant with an air-released lock or the BSAI bidirectional clamp-lock.
