About the Airtac SAI50 Standard Cylinder SAI50BX160S
The AirTAC SAI50X160-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered to deliver 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and 1374 N at 0.7 MPa. Its 160 mm stroke is optimal for mid-length industrial positioning tasks. Built with a tie-rod-less extruded aluminum barrel, it provides a standardized mounting interface for seamless integration.
This specific configuration features a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance, PT tapered port threads, and an integrated magnet (-S) for use with CMSE or DMSE reed switches. The adjustable air cushions at both ends ensure smooth deceleration, while the dual sensor grooves simplify switch mounting.

Where the Airtac SAI50 Standard Cylinder SAI50BX160S Is Used
Package Diverting
Provides robust actuation for mid-speed lane diverts and sorting gates on high-throughput packaging conveyors.
Material Pressing
Applies consistent 982 N clamping force at 0.5 MPa for light-duty pressing and component seating operations.
Vertical Lifting
Handles the vertical elevation of tote bins or product stacks where a compact 160 mm stroke is sufficient.
Is the Airtac SAI50 Standard Cylinder SAI50BX160S the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 50 mm bore when an application requires more thrust than the 40 mm bore (628 N at 0.5 MPa) but less bulk than the 63 mm bore (1559 N at 0.5 MPa). At 160 mm stroke, side-load stress on the rod bearing is minimal, though external guides are recommended if heavy off-center loads are present.
For ISO 15552 direct replacement, verify the 50 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, PT G1/4 port, and appropriate mounting accessory (LB, FA, or TC). If the machinery must maintain position during a sudden air loss, select the SAIL locking variant or an external pilot-operated check valve, as standard air cushions only decelerate the piston and cannot hold a load.
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 SAI50 Standard Cylinder SAI50BX160S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the SAI50X160-S generates 982 N of push force and 825 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 1374 N.
Yes, the SAI50X160-S is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552. Ensure your setup matches the 50 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and desired mounting interface before installation.
