About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX5S
The AirTAC SAI160X5-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for high-force, short-stroke applications. Operating at 0.5 MPa, it provides a robust push force of 10053 N and a pull force of 9425 N. This 5 mm stroke variant is ideal for high-impact clamping, pressing, and holding tasks where minimal travel is required.
Built to exacting standards, this specific configuration includes a SUS304 stainless steel rod (code B) for superior corrosion resistance and a magnetic piston (-S) for seamless integration with CMSE or DMSE position sensors. The extruded aluminum barrel features dual sensor grooves, and fluid control is managed via PT tapered ports.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX5S Is Used
Heavy-Duty Stamping
Provides intense 10053 N impact force for short-travel metal stamping and forming operations.
Industrial Clamping
Secures heavy workpieces in machining fixtures using minimal stroke and maximum holding thrust.
Riveting Assembly
Delivers consistent high-force riveting in automated assembly lines without excessive rod travel.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX5S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 160 mm bore cylinder is optimal when an application demands extremely high thrust within a compact stroke envelope. If the 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa exceeds your requirement, stepping down to a 125 mm bore yields 6136 N, optimizing energy consumption and footprint. Conversely, moving up to a 200 mm bore provides 15708 N for heavier loads.
As a true ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it serves as a direct replacement for other ISO 15552 cylinders, ensuring standardized mounting dimensions. To match this exact configuration, specify a 160 mm bore, 5 mm stroke, PT port thread, and the -S magnet option. Because the standard SAI lacks a locking mechanism, loads will drift if air pressure is lost; for dead-end holding without live pressure, consider the SAIL or BSAI variants.
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.
