About the Airtac SAI32 Standard Cylinder SAI32BX160S
The AirTAC SAI32X160-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for compact automation. Delivering a push force of 402 N at 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore unit is built around an extruded aluminum barrel without tie rods. The 160 mm stroke provides ample extension for intermediate positioning tasks.
This specific configuration includes a SUS304 stainless steel rod (code B) for superior corrosion resistance and a built-in magnet (-S) for position sensing. The dual sensor grooves on the barrel accept CMSE or DMSE switches seamlessly. Fluid ports feature PT tapered threads, and the standard adjustable air cushions at both ends ensure smooth end-of-stroke deceleration.

Where the Airtac SAI32 Standard Cylinder SAI32BX160S Is Used
Small Parts Clamping
Ideal for securing lightweight aluminum or plastic components during machining, utilizing the 402 N push force and SUS304 rod for clean environments.
Package Diverting
Extends 160 mm to push small cartons off a conveyor line, relying on the built-in magnet and DMSE sensors to confirm stroke completion.
Gate Actuation
Operates small access doors or machine guards, where the adjustable air cushions absorb kinetic energy at the stroke ends for quiet operation.
Is the Airtac SAI32 Standard Cylinder SAI32BX160S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 32 mm bore cylinder makes sense when your application requires around 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If your load demands less energy, stepping down is an option, but moving up to a 40 mm bore increases the push force to 628 N. Because this model features a 160 mm stroke, which is over 300 mm, it is crucial to manage side loads. An unsupported rod can bend under lateral stress; use an external guide rail or a guided cylinder to prevent rod-bearing damage.
As a dimensionally interchangeable ISO 15552 cylinder, it serves as a direct replacement matching the 32 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, PT port, and standard mounting accessories like LB foot or FA flange brackets. Note that standard double-acting cylinders drift if air pressure is lost; for applications requiring load holding without live pressure, consider the SAIL locking variant or an external pilot-operated check valve.
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 SAI32 Standard Cylinder SAI32BX160S FAQ
