This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI160X1000SH, 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 SI160X1000SH
The AirTAC SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X1000SH 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 SAI160X1000SH, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X1000SH
The AirTAC SI160X1000SH is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 160mm bore and 1000mm stroke. It delivers 10053N push force at 0.5MPa via a G3/4 port. The direct replacement is the SAI160X1000SH, matching the exact bore, stroke, force, and mounting interface. The SAI features an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped elements for low start-up pressure and long life. This -H variant uses Viton seals for 0-150C high-temp environments.
The original SI accepts CS1-B/DS1-B sensors via its -S magnet, while the SAI family uses current AirTAC switches. The SAI line also introduces lock and self-valve variants absent in the SI series.

Where the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X1000SH Is Used
Heavy Stamp Press Feed
Drives large metal blanks into heavy-duty presses using 10053N of thrust at 0.5MPa, with the 1000mm stroke accommodating long material indexing.
High-Temp Ejection
Ejects molded components from heated environments up to 150C, leveraging the Viton H high-temperature seal configuration to maintain integrity.
Replacing the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X1000SH with the SAI160X1000SH
To replace the SI160X1000SH, order the SAI160X1000SH. Verify the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 1000mm stroke, G3/4 port, and M36x2 rod thread. Because this is a 1000mm stroke, a side-load and rod-bending evaluation is critical; use external guides to prevent premature wear. For sizing alternatives, the neighboring 125mm bore yields 6136N push at 0.5MPa, while the 200mm bore yields 15708N. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss; the cushion only decelerates. For load holding, specify an external pilot check valve, or select the SAIL or BSAI lock variant.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAI160X1000SH
- ✓ 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 SI160X1000SH FAQ
Yes, the SI160X1000SH is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI160X1000SH. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 160mm bore, 1000mm stroke, G3/4 port, and mounting fixtures.
This double-acting cylinder features a G3/4 port. The force output is 10053N push and 9425N pull at 0.5MPa, 14074N push at 0.7MPa, 18095N push at 0.9MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
