This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI160X1000FA, 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 SI160X1000FA
The AirTAC Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X1000FA 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 SAI160X1000FA, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X1000FA
The AirTAC SI160X1000FA is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 160mm bore and 1000mm stroke. Delivering 10053N push force at 0.5MPa via a G3/4 port, it is replaced by the SAI160X1000FA. This direct successor matches the exact bore, stroke, force and FA flange mounting interface.
The SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. Note this no-magnet SKU cannot take a sensor, unlike CS1-B/DS1-B equipped units.

Where the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X1000FA Is Used
Heavy Press Forming
Applies up to 14074N at 0.7MPa for heavy-duty stamping, bending and metal forming tasks requiring immense thrust.
Long-Stroke Lifting
Drives 1000mm vertical elevation platforms for large fabricated parts, necessitating external guide rails to prevent rod deflection.
Large Mold Handling
Shifts heavy injection molds or tooling beds with a theoretical maximum output of 2050kgf at 1.0MPa operating pressure.
Replacing the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X1000FA with the SAI160X1000FA
To replace the SI160X1000FA, order the SAI160X1000FA direct, confirming the ISO 15552 FA flange interface, 160mm bore, 1000mm stroke, G3/4 port and M36x2 thread. Sizing both ways: a 200mm bore yields 15708N [email protected], while a 125mm bore yields 6136N. Because this is a 1000mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod-bending and side-load damage. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss; the 50mm cushion only decelerates. For load holding, use an external pilot check valve, rod lock, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants. Rod material options include carbon steel, SUS420J2 or SUS304.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAI160X1000FA
- ✓ 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 SI160X1000FA FAQ
Yes, the SI160X1000FA is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI160X1000FA. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 160mm bore, 1000mm stroke, G3/4 port, FA flange mount and output force.
It features a G3/4 air port and M36x2 rod thread. Force output is 10053N push and 9425N pull at 0.5MPa, 14074N push at 0.7MPa, 18095N push at 0.9MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 2050kgf at 1.0MPa. Speed is 30-500mm/s.
