This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI160BX1000, 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 SI160BX1000
The AirTAC SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160BX1000 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 1000mm stroke, G3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI160BX1000, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160BX1000
The AirTAC SI160BX1000 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 160 mm bore and 1000 mm stroke. It delivers a push force of 10053 N at 0.5 MPa and features a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod. The direct replacement is the SAI160BX1000, which retains the same G3/4 port, M36x2 thread, and ISO 15552 mounting interface for seamless fixture integration.
The SAI upgrade introduces an improved piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and extended life. Note this SKU lacks a magnet and cannot accept position sensors.

Where the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160BX1000 Is Used
Heavy Stamp Presses
Drives large heavy-duty stamping and metalforming presses requiring high thrust and a 1000 mm reach.
Pallet Lifting Arms
Actuates robust lifting arms for 500+ kg pallet handling, utilizing the SUS304 rod for corrosion resistance.
Large Mold Handling
Positions heavy injection molds or tooling fixtures over extended 1-meter linear transitions.
Replacing the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160BX1000 with the SAI160BX1000
To replace the SI160BX1000, order the SAI160BX1000 and verify your ISO 15552 mounting interface, G3/4 port, and M36x2 rod thread. This non-magnetic SKU cannot support switches, so if sensing is required, specify an SAI model with the -S magnet option to use current AirTAC switches. Because the 1000 mm stroke is long, use external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load damage. A standard cylinder drifts on air loss, so for load holding use an external rod lock, a pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants. If downsizing, consider the 125 mm bore (6136 N push); if upsizing, the 200 mm bore offers 15708 N.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAI160BX1000
- ✓ Same bore / stroke / force
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/G/NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Mounting reused (FA/FB/CA/CB/CR/LB/TC)
