About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX400
The AirTAC SAI160X400 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation. It generates a formidable 14074 N of push force at 0.7 MPa, making this 400 mm stroke variant ideal for driving substantial masses in large-scale machinery.
This unit is configured with a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance and features PT tapered port threading. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, allowing direct mounting of CMSE or DMSE switches if a magnet is added later.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX400 Is Used
Heavy Metal Stamping
Provides the 18095 N push force at 0.9 MPa required to actuate large mechanical stamping presses and heavy-gauge metal forming dies.
Automotive Assembly Jigs
Drives large-scale welding fixtures and heavy structural component positioning arms in automotive body-in-white production lines.
Pallet Handling
Pushes loaded pallets or heavy material transfer carts along roller conveyors in high-throughput distribution centers.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX400 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 160 mm bore provides 10053 N of thrust at just 0.5 MPa; if your application requires less force, stepping down to the 125 mm bore yields 6136 N at the same pressure. For loads needing extreme power, the 200 mm bore offers 15708 N at 0.5 MPa. Because this model features a 400 mm stroke, the extended rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads—always utilize an external guide rail or a guided cylinder to prevent premature rod-bearing wear.
This model ensures a dimensionally direct replacement for any standard ISO 15552 mounting interface. To match your setup, specify the PT port type, choose appropriate mounting accessories like TC trunnion or FA flange, and note that this specific unit lacks a magnet for proximity sensing. If your machinery must maintain position during air loss, select the SAIL locking variant instead, as standard air cushions only decelerate the piston at end-of-stroke.
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.
