About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX500
The AirTAC SAI160X500 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 160 mm bore and 500 mm stroke. It provides a robust 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa, making it suitable for heavy-duty industrial lifting and pressing. The extruded aluminum barrel omits tie rods for a clean exterior.
This specific configuration features a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod (material code B) for superior corrosion resistance in wet or chemically exposed environments. It uses PT tapered port threads and lacks a piston magnet, meaning it is optimized for pure actuation rather than electronic position sensing.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX500 Is Used
Heavy Metal Stamping
Provides the 10053 N push force required to form and stamp thick metal sheets in automotive production lines.
Large Assembly Press
Drives large fixtures over 500 mm of travel to seat heavy bearings and mechanical components securely.
Pallet Handling
Lifts and positions heavy loaded pallets in automated distribution centers using SUS304 rod corrosion resistance.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX500 the Right Cylinder?
Select this 160 mm bore when an application demands more force than the 125 mm bore (6136 N at 0.5 MPa) but less than the massive 200 mm class. At 500 mm of travel, the unsupported rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads. To prevent premature wear, mount external linear guides or use a fully guided cylinder to handle lateral forces.
Because this is a standard double-acting cylinder, it will drift if air pressure is lost or the control valve is centered. For applications that must hold a load safely without live pressure, specify the SAIL air-released lock variant or an external BSAI clamp-lock. As a true ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it serves as a dimensionally interchangeable direct replacement for other ISO 15552 cylinders.
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 SAI160BX500 FAQ
