About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX800
The AirTAC SAI160X800 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation. Delivering a robust 14074 N of push force at 0.7 MPa, this 160 mm bore actuator handles substantial loads across its 800 mm stroke. The extruded aluminum barrel design eliminates protruding tie rods, providing a clean profile that is dimensionally interchangeable with other ISO 15552 cylinders.
Configured here with a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod (material code B), this model is highly resistant to moisture and corrosive environments. It utilizes PT tapered port threads and operates at speeds of 30-500 mm/s. For applications requiring position holding without continuous air pressure, consider the SAIL or BSAI clamp-lock variants, as the standard adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston at stroke ends.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX800 Is Used
Heavy Machinery Forming
Provides the high 14074 N thrust needed to actuate large forming presses and heavy industrial machinery over a long 800 mm travel distance.
Pallet Transfer Systems
Ideal for pushing heavy loaded pallets in automated distribution centers where a robust 160 mm bore and long stroke are required.
Large Assembly Fixturing
Positions heavy automotive or aerospace components during assembly, utilizing the SUS304 rod for durability in demanding manufacturing cells.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX800 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 160 mm bore actuator makes sense when 10053 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa is required for moving massive payloads. If your application demands less force, dropping down to the 125 mm bore yields 6136 N at 0.5 MPa, optimizing air consumption. At an 800 mm stroke, the unsupported piston rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads; utilizing an external guide rail or a dedicated guided cylinder is strongly recommended to prevent premature rod bearing wear.
As a true ISO 15552 cylinder, this model serves as a direct replacement matching standard mounting dimensions. When ordering, specify the PT port thread, ensure your mounting accessory (such as an LB foot or TC trunnion) fits the 160 mm interface, and note that this configuration omits the magnet (-S) for sensor switches.
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 SAI160BX800 FAQ
The SAI160X800 generates a push force of 10053 N at 0.5 MPa and 14074 N at 0.7 MPa. The pull force at 0.5 MPa is 9425 N.
No, the standard SAI160X800 relies on air pressure for movement and will drift if pressure is lost. The adjustable cushion only decelerates the piston at end-of-stroke. For fail-safe load holding, use the SAIL or BSAI lock variants.
