This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI160AX100, 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 SI160AX100
The AirTAC Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160AX100 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 100mm stroke, G3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI160AX100, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160AX100
The AirTAC SI160AX100 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 160mm bore and 100mm stroke. It delivers a robust 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a G3/4 port. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAI160AX100, a direct sharing the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, stroke, force, and accessories.
The SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and longevity. This specific SKU lacks a magnet (-S), so it cannot accept CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. The SUS420J2 stainless rod resists corrosion.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI160AX100 carries the same ISO 15552 ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø160mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 10053 N | 9425 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 14074 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 2050 kgf | |
The SAI160AX100 produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

Where the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160AX100 Is Used
Heavy Press Clamping
Generates 10053 N of clamping thrust at 0.5 MPa to secure large metal castings during machining operations.
Industrial Mold Ejection
Provides the robust 18095 N output at 0.9 MPa required to eject dense composite molds from heavy-duty presses.
Replacing the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160AX100 with the SAI160AX100
To replace the SI160AX100, order the SAI160AX100 and verify your ISO 15552 interface, G3/4 port, M36x2 rod thread, and mounting accessory. This non-magnetic SKU cannot support position sensing. If you need more force than the 10053 N at 0.5 MPa (or 14074 N at 0.7 MPa), step up to the 200mm bore. If less is required, the 125mm bore provides 6136 N. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss; the 50mm cushions only decelerate. For load holding, use an external pilot check valve or explore the SAIL or BSAI lock variants.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAI160AX100
- ✓ 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 SI160AX100 FAQ
Yes, the SI160AX100 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI160AX100. It shares the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, 160mm bore, 100mm stroke, force, and G3/4 port, fitting existing fixtures perfectly.
The cylinder operates at 30-500 mm/s. It delivers 10053 N push and 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 14074 N push at 0.7 MPa, 18095 N at 0.9 MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
