About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX950S
The AirTAC SAI160X950-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation. It delivers a robust push force of 10053 N at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for high-load positioning over its 950 mm stroke. The extruded aluminum barrel design omits tie rods for a clean, structurally optimized exterior.
This specific configuration features a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod (material code B) for superior moisture and corrosion resistance. It includes a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSE or DMSE series sensor switches along the dual grooves on the barrel. Fluid ports are PT tapered thread type, and adjustable air cushions at both ends absorb impact energy at the stroke limits.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX950S Is Used
Heavy Metal Stamping
Provides the 10053 N push force required to actuate large press dies and form heavy-gauge sheet metal components reliably.
Automotive Assembly Jigs
Drives large body panel fixtures over the 950 mm stroke, using the SUS304 rod to withstand washdown environments.
Bulk Material Diverting
Actuates massive structural diverters and heavy-duty sorting gates on high-throughput aggregate or recycling conveyor lines.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX950S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 160 mm bore cylinder is appropriate when applications require substantial thrust that exceeds the 6136 N push force of the 125 mm bore variant at 0.5 MPa. Stepping up to the 200 mm bore would increase the push force to 15708 N, but the 160 mm bore offers an optimal balance of power and air consumption for mid-to-heavy tasks.
Because this model features a 950 mm stroke, the extended rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads. To prevent premature rod-bearing wear and piston scoring, mount this cylinder alongside an external linear guide rail or utilize a fully guided cylinder body. Note that the standard SAI design lacks a physical lock; if the pneumatic supply is exhausted, the piston and load will drift. For fail-safe position holding, integrate an external pilot-operated check valve or select the SAIL or BSAI locking variants. As a true ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it provides direct dimensional interchangeability with other ISO 15552 standard cylinders of the same bore and stroke, utilizing G3/4 ports and compatible FA/FB flange or TC trunnion mounting accessories.
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 SAI160BX950S FAQ
At a standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, this 160 mm bore cylinder generates a push force of 10053 N and a pull force of 9425 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 14074 N.
Yes. The SAI160X950-S is a genuine ISO 15552 profile cylinder, meaning its mounting footprint, port locations, and attachment interfaces are dimensionally interchangeable with other ISO 15552 standard cylinders of the same bore size.
