About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX900
The AirTAC SAI160X900 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty operations, delivering a substantial 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. This 900 mm stroke configuration is ideal for machinery requiring massive linear displacement over long distances. The extruded aluminum barrel design omits traditional tie rods, providing a clean exterior while maintaining structural integrity under high pressure.
This specific configuration features a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod (material code B) for superior corrosion resistance in harsh environments. It utilizes PT tapered port threads and lacks a standard magnet, though the barrel includes dual-sided sensor grooves for future integration if needed. For applications requiring position holding upon air loss, consider the SAIL variant with an air-released lock.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX900 Is Used
Heavy Stamping
Provides the robust 18095 N peak force at 0.9 MPa required to actuate large metal forming and heavy-duty stamping presses.
Automated Assembly
Drives massive 900 mm linear strokes to move large fabricated sub-assemblies between robotic welding and fastening stations.
Bulk Material Handling
Actuates heavy-duty diverter gates and large load-unloading mechanisms in high-capacity aggregate or bulk material conveyors.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX900 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 160 mm bore cylinder provides 14074 N of thrust at 0.7 MPa, making it a powerhouse for moving heavy assemblies. If a project requires slightly less force and a smaller footprint, stepping down to the 125 mm bore yields 8590 N at 0.7 MPa. At a 900 mm stroke, the unsupported piston rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads; utilizing an external guide rail or a dedicated guided cylinder module is strongly recommended to prevent premature rod-bearing wear.
This model is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, serving as a direct replacement for other ISO 15552 profile cylinders. It features a G3/4 port, PT thread type, and accommodates standard mounting accessories like TC trunnion or CA clevis. Because it is a non-magnet variant, position sensing requires external reed or solid-state switches mounted to the barrel grooves only if a magnet is later retrofitted. Remember that the integrated adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke ends and do not act as a brake or load-holding device.
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.
