About the Airtac SAI50 Standard Cylinder SAI50BX160
The AirTAC SAI50X160 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered to deliver 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Its 160 mm stroke provides the extended travel needed for mid-range positioning tasks. Built with a standardized mounting interface, it serves as a direct replacement for other ISO 15552 cylinders.
This specific configuration features a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance and utilizes PT tapered port threads. Because it lacks a built-in magnet, external magnetic sensing is not supported, but the extruded aluminum barrel retains its structural integrity for demanding environments.

Where the Airtac SAI50 Standard Cylinder SAI50BX160 Is Used
Clamping Mechanisms
Provides 982 N of clamping force at 0.5 MPa to secure medium-sized metal components during machining or welding processes.
Product Diverting
Utilizes the 160 mm stroke to push packages or parts cleanly from a main conveyor belt into a secondary sorting lane.
Gate Control
Actuates access gates or machine safety doors, offering a balance of speed and thrust without excessive bulk.
Is the Airtac SAI50 Standard Cylinder SAI50BX160 the Right Cylinder?
Select this 50 mm bore when an application requires more thrust than the 40 mm bore (628 N at 0.5 MPa) but does not need the heavier 63 mm class (1559 N). For operations needing position verification, you must specify the -S magnet option to utilize CMSE or DMSE switches in the dual sensor grooves. Since this standard double-acting cylinder relies on continuous air pressure to maintain its load, it will drift if pressure is lost; use the SAIL variant if positive holding is required.
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.
