About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX50S
The AirTAC SAI160X50-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty operations, delivering a substantial push force of 10053 N at 0.5 MPa. Its 50 mm stroke is optimized for short-travel, high-thrust tasks. Built with an extruded aluminum barrel and lacking tie rods, it provides a clean, standardized mounting interface that serves as a direct replacement for other ISO 15552 actuators.
This specific configuration includes a SUS304 stainless steel rod (material code B) for superior corrosion resistance and a built-in magnet (-S) enabling seamless position feedback when paired with CMSE or DMSE series switches. It also features PT tapered port threads and adjustable air cushions at both ends to manage kinetic energy during these high-mass movements.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX50S Is Used
Heavy Metal Stamping
Provides the intense short-stroke impact force required for stamping and forming thick metal sheets in automotive and structural fabrication.
Industrial Pressing
Ideal for high-tonnage pressing applications, securely seating large bearings or bushings into heavy machinery housings.
Plastic Injection Molding
Delivers the necessary clamping power to hold heavy molds shut against high cavity pressures during large-part injection molding.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX50S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 160 mm bore makes sense when the 125 mm bore class (which provides 6136 N at 0.5 MPa) is insufficient for your load requirements. Because this is a short 50 mm stroke, rod-bearing bending is not a concern, but users should still ensure rigid mounting to handle the massive 10053 N thrust. If your machinery loses air pressure, this standard actuator will not hold its load; for fail-safe position holding, consider the SAIL (air-released lock) or BSAI (bidirectional clamp-lock) variants. To match this unit exactly for an ISO 15552 interchange, specify the 160 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, PT G3/4 port, required mounting accessory (like TC trunnion), and the -S magnet.
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 SAI160BX50S FAQ
At a 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 160 mm bore cylinder generates a push force of 10053 N and a pull force of 9425 N. At the maximum rated pressure of 1.0 MPa, the theoretical push force reaches 2050 kgf.
Yes, the SAI160X50-S is a genuine ISO 15552 profile cylinder, making its mounting interface dimensionally interchangeable with other ISO 15552 standard actuators. Ensure you match the PT G3/4 port, 160mm bore, 50mm stroke, and mounting accessories for a seamless direct fit.
