This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI160AX200, 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 SI160AX200
The AirTAC SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160AX200 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 200mm stroke, G3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI160AX200, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160AX200
The AirTAC SI160AX200 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 160mm bore and 200mm stroke. Built with an extruded aluminum barrel and a SUS420J2 stainless piston rod, it delivers 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a G3/4 port. AirTAC replaced this EOL unit with the SAI160AX200, a direct sharing the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, M36x2 thread, and 50mm cushions.
The SAI160AX200 upgrades the piston seal to two Y-shaped one-way elements for lower start-up pressure and longer life. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. For load holding on air loss, the cushion only decelerates; you need an external rod lock or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø160mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 10053 N | 9425 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 14074 N | — |

Where the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160AX200 Is Used
Heavy Press Forming
Generates up to 18095 N at 0.9 MPa for stamping and forming rigid materials in automated fabrication lines.
Industrial Clamp Press
Provides the 9425 N pull force at 0.5 MPa required to secure heavy structural assemblies during machining.
Pallet Load Handling
Drives robust lifting and positioning mechanisms for heavy-duty pallet transfer systems in logistics hubs.
Replacing the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160AX200 with the SAI160AX200
To replace the SI160AX200, order the SAI160AX200. Verify your ISO 15552 mounting fixtures, the G3/4 air port, and the M36x2 rod thread. Because this specific SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot support position sensing; if you need switches, select an SAI160X200S and use current AirTAC sensors. Sizing both ways: the 160mm bore yields 10053 N push at 0.5 MPa (2050 kgf max at 1.0 MPa); if force is excessive, step down to a 125mm bore. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates—so for suspended loads install a pilot check valve or explore the SAIL or BSAI lock variants. Since the 200mm stroke is under 300mm, rod bending is minimal, but always guide external loads to prevent side-loading.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAI160AX200
- ✓ 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 SI160AX200 FAQ
Yes, the SI160AX200 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI160AX200. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 160mm bore, 200mm stroke, G3/4 port, and mounting interface, but adds an upgraded piston seal.
The G3/4 ported 160mm bore delivers 10053 N push and 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 14074 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical max of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates at 30-500 mm/s with a 50mm adjustable cushion at each end.
