The AirTAC Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160X325 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 325mm stroke, G3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its standardized mounting interface makes it a drop-in replacement for other ISO 15552 cylinders in automation lines.
The AirTAC SAI160X325 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 unit handles substantial loads with ease. The 325 mm stroke provides the extended travel needed for large material handling tasks. Its extruded aluminum barrel eliminates tie-rods, creating a smooth exterior that resists contamination.
This configuration features a standard carbon steel piston rod and PT tapered port threads for secure, leak-free pneumatic connections. For environments requiring elevated temperatures, the standard TPU seals can be swapped for Viton (H) or NBR (N) alternatives. While this base model lacks a magnet, the barrel includes dual sensor grooves ready to accept CMSE or DMSE switches when position feedback is required.

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.
Provides the 14074 N push force required to actuate heavy stamping dies and form metal components reliably in high-tonnage press lines.
Uses the 325 mm stroke to push fully loaded pallets across heavy-duty transfer lines, absorbing end-of-stroke impact via adjustable air cushions.
Moves large injection molds into and out of processing machines, utilizing the robust carbon steel rod to support substantial tooling weight.
Selecting this 160 mm bore is appropriate when 100 mm bore cylinders (providing 5497 N push at 0.7 MPa) lack the thrust for your application, but stepping up to a 200 mm bore is unnecessary. The 325 mm stroke offers substantial reach, but any stroke of 300 mm or more introduces side-load risks. An unsupported rod of this length can bend under lateral forces; utilize an external guide rail or a guided cylinder carriage to protect the rod bearing and maintain alignment.
As a true ISO 15552 profile cylinder, this model serves as a drop-in replacement for any standard 160 mm bore unit with identical mounting dimensions. Specify the PT port, choose your mounting accessory (such as an LB foot or TC trunnion), and determine if you need the -S magnet option. Note that standard air cushions only decelerate the piston at stroke ends; if the system loses pressure, the load will drop. Use the SAIL or BSAI locking variants for fail-safe load holding.
Quick checklist
At an operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, the SAI160X325 generates a 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 SAI160X325 is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552. You can use it as a drop-in replacement for other ISO 15552 profile cylinders with a 160 mm bore and 325 mm stroke, provided you match the PT port and mounting accessories.
