This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI160AX10, 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.
Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160AX10
The AirTAC SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160AX10 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 10mm stroke, G3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI160AX10, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160AX10
The AirTAC SI160AX10 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 160 mm bore and 10 mm stroke, delivering 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa. AirTAC replaced it with the SAI160AX10. This direct upgrade shares the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, G3/4 port, and M36x2 rod thread, fitting existing fixtures seamlessly.
The SAI features an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped elements for low start-up pressure. This specific SKU lacks a magnet (-S) and cannot accept position sensors. The -A suffix denotes a SUS420J2 stainless rod.

Where the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160AX10 Is Used
Heavy-Duty Pressing
Applies 10053 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa for short-stroke pressing, clinching, or staking operations requiring immense force over a 10 mm travel.
Industrial Clamping
Secures large fabricated components or heavy molds during machining or welding, utilizing the SUS420J2 stainless rod to resist corrosion in harsh plant environments.
Short-Stroke Holding
Acts as a high-force holding or blocking mechanism in automated lines, though an external rod lock or SAIL variant is required if load holding on air loss is necessary.
Replacing the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160AX10 with the SAI160AX10
To replace the discontinued SI160AX10, order the SAI160AX10. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting, 160 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, G3/4 port, and SUS420J2 rod. Because this SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot use CS1-B or DS1-B sensors; order an -S variant if sensing is needed. If stepping down, a 125 mm bore offers 6136 N. Note that this plain cylinder drifts on air loss; use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant for load holding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAI160AX10
- ✓ Same bore / stroke / force
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/G/NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Mounting reused (FA/FB/CA/CB/CR/LB/TC)
Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160AX10 FAQ
Yes, the AirTAC SI160AX10 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI160AX10. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 160 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, 10053 N force, G3/4 port, and mounting interface.
This double-acting cylinder features a G3/4 port and generates 10053 N push and 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 14074 N, and 18095 N at 0.9 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
