About the Airtac SAI50 Standard Cylinder SAI50X160S
The AirTAC SAI50X160-S 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 exact mid-range travel needed for automated clamping and indexing tasks. Built with a genuine extruded aluminum barrel, this model is dimensionally interchangeable with other ISO 15552 cylinders for seamless direct replacement.
This specific configuration includes a magnetic piston (-S) for direct compatibility with CMSE and DMSE series sensor switches, which seat neatly into the dual grooves on the barrel. It utilizes a standard carbon steel piston rod and features PT tapered port threads. For environments requiring higher thermal resistance, the base TPU seals can be swapped for Viton (H) or NBR (N) alternatives.

Where the Airtac SAI50 Standard Cylinder SAI50X160S Is Used
Automated Clamping Stations
Provides 982 N of clamping force at 0.5 MPa, securely holding metal workpieces for machining or welding operations.
Package Diverting
The 160 mm stroke actuates diverter arms on packaging lines, moving cartons between parallel conveyors with speed and precision.
Material Lift Gates
Raises and lowers small access gates or machine guards, utilizing the magnetic piston to confirm gate position via DMSE sensors.
Is the Airtac SAI50 Standard Cylinder SAI50X160S the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 50 mm bore when an application requires stepping up from a 40 mm cylinder (628 N at 0.5 MPa) to achieve nearly 1.6 times the thrust, without the bulk of a 63 mm body. The 160 mm stroke strikes a balance for moderate extension lengths. If your mechanism must maintain its position during a loss of air pressure, a standard SAI will drift; you should specify the SAIL variant with an air-released lock or utilize an external pilot-operated check valve.
Because this model features a 160 mm stroke, it is short enough to avoid severe rod-bearing bending under normal loads, though side-load management is always recommended. To mount this unit, you can utilize FA or FB flanges, LB foot brackets, or TC trunnion styles. Ensure your air supply uses the G1/4 port and is filtered to 40 um.
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 SAI50X160S FAQ
At an operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, this 50 mm bore cylinder generates 982 N of push force and 825 N of pull force. If pressure is increased to 0.7 MPa, the push force rises to 1374 N.
Yes. The SAI50X160-S is a true ISO 15552 profile cylinder, meaning its mounting dimensions and footprint are interchangeable with other ISO 15552 cylinders from various manufacturers, serving as a direct replacement.
