About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX5
The AirTAC SAI160X5 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty short-stroke tasks. It generates a substantial push force of 10053 N at just 0.5 MPa, extending a mere 5 mm to deliver rapid, high-impact clamping or pressing actions.
Built with a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod (option B), this model provides superior corrosion resistance for harsh or washdown environments. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, while adjustable air cushions at both ends ensure smooth deceleration. For operations needing bidirectional holding without air pressure, consider the BSAI clamp-lock variant.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX5 Is Used
Heavy-Duty Stamping
Delivers 10053 N of force in a 5 mm stroke for high-impact metal forming and marking operations.
Industrial Clamping
Ideal for securing large workpieces during machining, utilizing its massive bore and short travel.
Riveting & Joining
Provides the intense, localized pressure needed to rivet heavy structural components quickly.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX5 the Right Cylinder?
Select this 160 mm bore cylinder when a massive short-stroke thrust is required in a compact footprint. If your application needs less force, stepping down to the 125 mm bore yields 6136 N at 0.5 MPa, whereas moving up to the 200 mm bore provides 15708 N.
Because the stroke is only 5 mm, side-load bending is minimal, but ensure the mounting interface matches your ISO 15552 footprint. This configuration uses a PT tapered G3/4 port and lacks a magnet for sensors. If position feedback is required, specify the -S option. Remember that standard SAI cylinders drift upon loss of air pressure; utilize an external pilot check valve for strict positioning.
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.
