This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI160X1000H, 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 SI160X1000H
The AirTAC SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X1000H 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 SAI160X1000H, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X1000H
The AirTAC SI160X1000H is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 160 mm bore and 1000 mm stroke. It delivers a thrust of 10053 N at 0.5 MPa and features a G3/4 port. The direct replacement is the SAI160X1000H, which matches the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, force, and port size.
This SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and extended life. The -H suffix indicates a Viton H seal, raising the operating temperature range from -20 to +70 C up to 0-150 C. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept a CS1-B/DS1-B sensor.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø160mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 10053 N | 9425 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 14074 N | — |

Where the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X1000H Is Used
Heavy Stamp Presses
Drives large platens in metal forming, utilizing the 14074 N push at 0.7 MPa to shape thick plate stock reliably.
Long-Reach Elevators
Actuates 1000 mm vertical lift gates for heavy material handling, guided externally to prevent rod bending.
High-Temp Ejection
Ejects molded parts from hot environments up to 150 C, leveraging the Viton H seals to resist thermal degradation.
Replacing the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X1000H with the SAI160X1000H
To replace the discontinued SI160X1000H, order the SAI160X1000H direct. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, the 160 mm bore, the 1000 mm stroke, the G3/4 port, and your mounting accessory. Because this is a -H Viton configuration, verify the 0-150 C temperature requirement is met. This non-magnetic SKU cannot host a sensor; if position detection is needed, select an SAI variant with an S suffix for current AirTAC switches. At 1000 mm, this long stroke risks rod bending under side loads, so use external guides to prevent jamming. Sizing both ways: a 200 mm bore offers more force, while a 125 mm bore provides 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa. For load holding on air loss, note the cushion only decelerates; use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAI160X1000H
- ✓ 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 SI160X1000H FAQ
Yes, the SI160X1000H is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI160X1000H. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 160 mm bore, 1000 mm stroke, 10053 N force, and G3/4 port to fit existing fixtures.
The G3/4 port supplies a double-acting thrust of 10053 N push and 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa. 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.
