About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX950
The AirTAC SAI160X950 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty operations. It provides a substantial push force of 10053 N at 0.5 MPa and 14074 N at 0.7 MPa, making it well-suited for high-load automation tasks requiring a 950 mm stroke. The extruded aluminum barrel design omits tie rods, offering a clean exterior that matches standardized ISO 15552 mounting dimensions.
This specific configuration incorporates a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod (material code B) for superior corrosion resistance in harsh environments. It utilizes PT tapered port threads, and because no magnet is specified, it arrives without sensor tracks. For applications requiring mid-stroke stopping or load holding without continuous air pressure, consider the related SAIL pneumatic lock variant.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX950 Is Used
Heavy Metal Forming
Drives large presses and bending equipment with 14074 N of thrust at 0.7 MPa, utilizing the 950 mm stroke to accommodate bulky workpieces.
Automotive Assembly Jigs
Actuates massive welding fixtures and positioning gates, relying on the SUS304 rod to withstand harsh plant environments.
Pallet Handling Systems
Shifts heavy palletized loads across extended 950 mm distances where standard strokes fall short.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX950 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 160 mm bore over the smaller 125 mm option provides a significant force upgrade, jumping from 8590 N to 14074 N at 0.7 MPa. Stepping up further to the 200 mm bore yields 21991 N, but the 160 mm class often offers a better balance of thrust and air consumption. Because this model features a 950 mm stroke, the extended rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads; utilizing an external guide rail or a fully guided cylinder is strongly recommended to prevent premature rod-bearing wear.
This cylinder functions as a direct dimensional direct replacement for other ISO 15552 profile cylinders. To match this exact configuration, specify a 160 mm bore, 950 mm stroke, PT port threads, and the SUS304 rod material. Remember that a standard SAI does not maintain its position if air pressure is lost; the adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends and do not act as a locking mechanism.
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.
