About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX40S
The AirTAC SAI160X40-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty operations. Operating at 0.5 MPa, it generates a substantial push force of 10053 N and a pull force of 9425 N. The 40 mm stroke provides rapid, high-impact linear movement for short-cycle automation tasks.
This specific configuration features a highly corrosion-resistant SUS304 stainless steel piston rod, making it ideal for moist or chemically harsh environments. It includes a built-in magnet (-S) for seamless integration with CMSE or DMSE series sensor switches along the dual extruded aluminum barrel grooves. The pneumatic ports utilize a PT tapered thread type to ensure a robust, leak-free connection.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX40S Is Used
Heavy-Duty Stamping
Provides the intense 10053 N force required for short-stroke metal forming, riveting, and heavy stamping operations.
Industrial Pressing
Excels in high-force pressing applications such as bearing insertion, bushing alignment, and component assembly.
Pallet Clamping
Secures large, heavy pallets or molds in place during machining or processing using its robust 160 mm bore power.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX40S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 160 mm bore over the smaller 125 mm variant (which provides 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa) is necessary when your application requires moving significantly heavier payloads or overcoming high friction. The short 40 mm stroke is optimal for clamping, pressing, or lifting tasks that do not require extended travel distances.
Because the standard SAI design relies on air pressure for movement, it cannot hold a load in place if compressed air is lost or exhausted; the piston will drift. If your machinery requires true position holding during an air-loss event, consider the SAIL (air-released lock) or BSAI (bidirectional clamp-lock) variants. This model serves as a dimensionally interchangeable direct replacement for other ISO 15552 profile cylinders, matching standard mounting interfaces and PT port locations.
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 SAI160BX40S FAQ
At a standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, the SAI160X40-S cylinder delivers a push force of 10053 N and a pull force of 9425 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 14074 N.
Yes, the -S suffix indicates this model includes a piston magnet. You can mount CMSE or DMSE series sensor switches directly into the standard grooves on both sides of the extruded aluminum barrel.
