This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI160X10, 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 SI160X10
The AirTAC SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X10 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 10mm stroke, G3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI160X10, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X10
The AirTAC SI160X10 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 160 mm bore and 10 mm stroke, delivering a push force of 10053 N at 0.5 MPa. The direct replacement is the SAI160X10, retaining the same interface, port, and output force. The SAI features an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. Additionally, the SAI family introduces SAIL, SAIF, and BSAI lock variants absent from the legacy SI line.
This specific SKU lacks a magnet (-S) and cannot accept a position sensor. Note that a standard cylinder does not hold loads without live air; the 50 mm adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke ends. For secure load holding, consider an external pilot check valve or the SAIL lock variant.

Where the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X10 Is Used
Heavy Press Operations
Ideal for short-stroke high-force pressing, delivering 10053 N at 0.5 MPa to seat bearings or form heavy components securely.
Industrial Clamp Systems
Provides robust 10 mm clamping action for large fixtures, holding workpieces steady during machining or welding processes.
Short-Stroke Ejection
Used to eject heavy parts or blanks from molds, utilizing the 160 mm bore's substantial push force over a compact travel distance.
Replacing the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X10 with the SAI160X10
To replace the discontinued SI160X10, order the SAI160X10 direct equivalent, verifying the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 160 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, and G3/4 port. Confirm your mounting accessory (LB, FA, TC, etc.) and thread type (PT, G, or NPT). Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot support legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors; if sensing is required, select an SAI160X10S. For heavy loads, a standard cylinder drifts without live air, so use an external rod lock or the SAIL/BSAI clamp-lock variant. If downsizing, a 125 mm bore yields 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa; if upsizing, a 200 mm bore provides 15708 N. Always guide the rod to prevent side-load bending.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAI160X10
- ✓ 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 SI160X10 FAQ
Yes, the SI160X10 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the AirTAC SAI160X10. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, offering the exact same 160 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, G3/4 port, and mounting interface, but features an upgraded piston seal.
The bore is 160 mm with a G3/4 air port. At 0.5 MPa it provides 10053 N push and 9425 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa push is 14074 N, and at 0.9 MPa it is 18095 N. The theoretical maximum force is 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
