The AirTAC SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX850S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 850mm stroke, G3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its standardized mounting interface makes it interchangeable with other ISO 15552 cylinders at the mounting interface.
The AirTAC SAI160X850-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty operations. It generates a substantial push force of 10053 N at 0.5 MPa, extending across an 850 mm stroke to handle massive positioning tasks. The extruded aluminum barrel design omits tie rods, providing a clean exterior that simplifies cleaning and maintenance in demanding industrial environments.
This specific configuration features a SUS304 stainless steel rod (material code B) for superior corrosion resistance, alongside a built-in magnet (-S) that enables direct mounting of CMSE or DMSE sensor switches along the dual grooves on the barrel. It utilizes PT tapered port threads and includes adjustable air cushions at both ends to absorb kinetic energy during high-mass movements.

Related SAI-family variants: SAID (double rod), SAIJ (adjustable stroke), SAIL (with lock), SAIF (with valve), BSAI (enclasp / clamp-lock), and SAI-S with built-in magnet. Rod material: carbon steel (blank) / SUS420J2 (A) / SUS304 (B); seals: TPU (blank) / Viton H / NBR N.
Supplies the 14074 N thrust at 0.7 MPa required to actuate large forming presses and heavy-duty stamping equipment over long travel distances.
Moves large structural fixtures and vehicle chassis components along the 850 mm stroke, utilizing the SUS304 rod to resist workshop moisture and coolant exposure.
Actuates heavy-duty diverter gates on high-capacity mining or aggregate conveyors, where the robust 160 mm bore handles substantial material resistance.
Choosing this 160 mm bore is appropriate when 100 mm bore cylinders (providing 3927 N at 0.5 MPa) lack the thrust for your heavy load, but a 200 mm bore (15708 N at 0.5 MPa) would be excessive. Because this model features an 850 mm stroke, the extended rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads. To prevent premature seal failure and rod-bearing wear, mount the load on an external linear guide rail rather than relying on the piston rod for radial support.
As a true ISO 15552 standard cylinder, this unit is dimensionally interchangeable with other ISO 15552 profile cylinders, matching the exact mounting footprint for front flange (FA/FB) or rear clevis (CA/CB) accessories. Remember that standard double-acting cylinders do not hold loads safely upon air loss; if your application requires vertical drop prevention, select the SAIL locking variant or an external rod lock.
Quick checklist
At an operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, this 160 mm bore cylinder generates a theoretical push force of 14074 N and a pull force of 9425 N. The maximum theoretical force at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
Yes, the SAI series is built to the ISO 15552 standard, making its mounting dimensions a direct replacement for other ISO 15552 profile cylinders. You can use standard FA, FB, CA, or TC mounting accessories without modifying your machine frame.
