The AirTAC SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX325S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 325mm stroke, G3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its standardized mounting interface makes it interchangeable with other ISO 15552 cylinders at the mounting interface.
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.

Related SAI-family variants: SAID (double rod), SAIJ (adjustable stroke), SAIL (with lock), SAIF (with valve), BSAI (enclasp / clamp-lock), and SAI-S with built-in magnet. Rod material: carbon steel (blank) / SUS420J2 (A) / SUS304 (B); seals: TPU (blank) / Viton H / NBR N.
Provides the necessary tonnage to drive large metal forming and stamping presses, ensuring consistent force application across the 325 mm stroke.
Ideal for lifting and transferring heavy loaded pallets on conveyor lines where high push force and stable 325 mm extension are required.
Secures massive workholding fixtures during machining operations, utilizing the SUS304 rod to resist corrosion from cutting fluids.
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
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.
