About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX425
The AirTAC SAI160X425 is a double-acting profile cylinder with a 160 mm bore and a 425 mm stroke. It delivers a substantial 10053 N push force and 9425 N pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for heavy-duty industrial lifting and pressing. This specific configuration features a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance and uses a PT tapered port thread.
As a genuine ISO 15552 standardized cylinder, it offers a dimensionally interchangeable mounting interface for seamless direct replacements. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for direct mounting of CMSE or DMSE switches, though this particular unit is specified without a magnet. For applications requiring position holding without live air pressure, the SAIL variant with an air-released lock is recommended over the standard model.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX425 Is Used
Heavy Machinery Forming
Provides the robust 10053 N push force required for heavy-duty metal forming and stamping operations in manufacturing plants.
Large Material Handling
Drives heavy pallets and large fabricated components along extended conveyor systems with its 425 mm stroke.
Automated Assembly Presses
Applies consistent downward pressure for joining oversized industrial components during automated assembly.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX425 the Right Cylinder?
This 160 mm bore provides 10053 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less force, stepping down to the 125 mm bore yields 6136 N, while scaling up to the 200 mm bore provides 15708 N. Because the 425 mm stroke exceeds the standard maximum of 1500 mm for this bore, it is a made-to-order non-standard stroke.
With a stroke of 425 mm, the unsupported rod is susceptible to bending under side loads. To prevent premature rod-bearing wear, implement an external guide mechanism or utilize a guided cylinder. Note that the adjustable air cushions at both ends only decelerate the piston near stroke end and do not hold the load; use the BSAI clamp-lock variant if static holding is required. This model uses a G3/4 port and an M36x2 rod thread.
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 SAI160BX425 FAQ
