This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI100AX160S, with the same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. The SAI replacement keeps the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, output force and accessories, so it drops straight into existing fixtures. It is the current-production version of this cylinder with an upgraded piston seal.

The AirTAC Airtac SI100 Standard Cylinder SI100AX160S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 160mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI100AX160S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI100AX160S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 100 mm bore and 160 mm stroke. It delivers a thrust of 3927 N at 0.5 MPa, featuring a G1/2 air port and an SUS420J2 stainless steel piston rod (-A). The direct replacement is the SAI100AX160S, which shares the same interface, force, and mounting fixtures.
The SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and extended life. Note that plain cylinders drift without live air; for load holding, explore the SAIL or BSAI lock variants.

| 0.7 MPa | 5498 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 801 kgf | |
The SAI100AX160S produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

| ×160 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing. |
Legacy SI-family variants: SID (double rod), SIJ (adjustable stroke) — each maps to its SAI equivalent (SID→SAID, SIJ→SAIJ). Rod material: carbon steel (blank) / SUS420J2 (A) / SUS304 (B).
Applies up to 5497 N at 0.7 MPa for seating bearings or forming light components in automated machinery.
Drives robust routing gates or stoppers on high-mass material handling lines with a 160 mm stroke.
To replace the SI100AX160S, order the SAI100AX160S and verify the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 160 mm stroke, G1/2 port, and the -S magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B switches. The SAI family also adds SAIF (built-in valve) and BSAI (clamp-lock) options. For sizing, a neighbouring 80 mm bore yields 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 125 mm bore offers 6136 N. Remember, a plain cylinder does not hold load without air; use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for holding.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI100AX160S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI100AX160S. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, matching the 100 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, force, G1/2 port, and mounting fixtures.
This 100 mm bore cylinder features a G1/2 port. It delivers a push of 3927 N and pull of 3681 N at 0.5 MPa, 5497 N push at 0.7 MPa, 7068 N push at 0.9 MPa, and a theoretical max of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI100AX160S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
