About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX50
The AirTAC SAI160X50 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder built for heavy-duty motion. Delivering a robust 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa, this 160 mm bore actuator handles substantial payloads with ease. The 50 mm stroke provides rapid, high-thrust linear movement for compact machinery.
This specific configuration features a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance in harsh or washdown environments. It uses PT tapered port threads and lacks a piston magnet, meaning it is optimized for pure actuation rather than position sensing.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX50 Is Used
Heavy Metal Forming
Provides the intense 10053 N force needed for stamping, bending, and heavy-gauge metal forming operations.
Injection Molding Ejectors
Drives robust ejection systems for large molded parts, utilizing the SUS304 rod for resilience in high-heat zones.
Bulk Material Handling
Powers heavy-duty diverters and gates on high-capacity conveyor lines handling dense bulk materials.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX50 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 160 mm bore when 100 mm bore models (offering 628 N at 0.5 MPa) cannot meet your thrust requirements, but you want to avoid stepping up to the massive 200 mm size. The short 50 mm stroke keeps the rod highly stable, minimizing side-load bending concerns.
Because this is a standard double-acting cylinder, it relies on live air pressure to maintain its position. If your application requires dead-stop holding without air, consider the SAIL (air-released lock) or BSAI (bidirectional clamp-lock) variants. The standardized ISO 15552 mounting interface allows direct interchangeability with other profile cylinders of the same dimensions, utilizing accessories like CA clevis or TC trunnion mounts.
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.
