About the Airtac SAI40 Standard Air Cylinder SAI40BX160S
The AirTAC SAI40X160-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder offering a practical 160mm stroke. It generates 628N of push force at 0.5MPa and 879N at 0.7MPa, making it a solid choice for medium-duty handling tasks.
This specific configuration features a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance and includes a piston magnet (-S) for use with CMSE or DMSE reed switches. The extruded aluminum barrel integrates sensor grooves on both sides, and fluid ports use PT tapered threads.

Where the Airtac SAI40 Standard Air Cylinder SAI40BX160S Is Used
Package Sorting
Diverts and gates packages on moving conveyor lines using 628N of push force at 0.5MPa.
Material Clamping
Holds lightweight workpieces securely during machining or assembly processes.
Vertical Lifting
Raises and lowers small platforms or product trays over a 160mm travel distance.
Is the Airtac SAI40 Standard Air Cylinder SAI40BX160S the Right Cylinder?
If your application requires less energy, the 32mm bore provides 563N at 0.7MPa, whereas stepping up to a 50mm bore yields 1374N. At 160mm stroke, side loads can stress the rod bearing; use an external guide rail to prevent binding and premature wear.
The adjustable air cushions at both ends decelerate the piston smoothly but will not hold a load if air pressure drops. For position holding without live pressure, select the SAIL lock variant or an external rod lock. This unit serves as a direct dimensional replacement for any ISO 15552 cylinder with a 40mm bore, 160mm stroke, G1/4 port, and matching 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.
