This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI160BX60, 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 SI160BX60
The AirTAC Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160BX60 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 SAI160BX60, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160BX60
The AirTAC SI160BX60 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 160 mm bore and 60 mm stroke. It delivers 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa via a G3/4 port. The direct replacement is the SAI160BX60, featuring the same interface, force, and mounting.
This SAI upgrade uses two Y-shaped one-way piston seals for low start-up pressure and long life. The -B rod is SUS304 stainless steel. With no -S suffix, this SKU cannot take a sensor.

Where the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160BX60 Is Used
Heavy Press Operations
Drives substantial forming and stamping presses requiring up to 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa.
Industrial Clamp Systems
Secures large fabricated steel structures during machining via robust ISO 15552 mounting fixtures.
Replacing the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160BX60 with the SAI160BX60
To replace the SI160BX60, order the SAI160BX60. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 60 mm stroke, G3/4 port, and SUS304 (-B) rod. This non-magnetic SKU cannot accept a CS1-B/DS1-B switch. The 10053 N @0.5 MPa output suits heavy tasks; if undersized, the 200 mm bore offers more force. For load holding on air loss, note the cushion only decelerates—use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or SAIL/BSAI variant.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAI160BX60
- ✓ Same bore / stroke / force
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/G/NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Mounting reused (FA/FB/CA/CB/CR/LB/TC)
