This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI160AX60, 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 SI160AX60
The AirTAC Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160AX60 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 60mm stroke, G3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI160AX60, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160AX60
The AirTAC SI160AX60 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 160 mm bore and 60 mm stroke. It delivers 10053 N push and 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa via a G3/4 port. The direct replacement is the SAI160AX60, matching the interface, force, and mounting.
The SAI upgrade features two Y-shaped one-way piston seals for low start-up pressure. This SKU has an SUS420J2 stainless rod (-A) and no magnet, so it cannot take a CS1-B/DS1-B sensor.

Where the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160AX60 Is Used
Heavy Press Clamping
Generates 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa to secure large metal stampings or heavy machinery components during high-stress machining and press operations.
Industrial Forming Press
Provides the robust linear motion required for heavy-duty forming and stamping presses, utilizing the 50 mm adjustable air cushions to decelerate massive loads smoothly.
Replacing the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160AX60 with the SAI160AX60
To replace the SI160AX60, order the SAI160AX60. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 60 mm stroke, G3/4 port, and SUS420J2 rod. Since this SKU lacks a magnet (-S), it cannot accept position sensors. For loads needing holding on air loss, use an external pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant, as cushions only decelerate. Neighbouring bores: 125 mm gives 6136 N push, 200 mm gives 15708 N at 0.5 MPa.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAI160AX60
- ✓ 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 SI160AX60 FAQ
Yes, the AirTAC SI160AX60 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI160AX60. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, maintaining the same 160 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, G3/4 port, and mounting interface.
This double-acting cylinder uses a G3/4 port. It delivers 10053 N push and 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 14074 N push at 0.7 MPa, 18095 N push at 0.9 MPa, and a theoretical max of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Speed is 30-500 mm/s.
