This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI160X1000TC, 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 SI160X1000TC
The AirTAC SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X1000TC 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 SAI160X1000TC, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X1000TC
The AirTAC SI160X1000TC is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 160 mm bore and 1000 mm stroke. It delivers 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa, features a G3/4 port, and uses a TC trunnion mount. The direct replacement is the SAI160X1000TC, matching the exact interface, bore, stroke, force, and port.
The SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. Without a -S suffix, this SKU cannot take a magnetic switch. The SAI family also adds SAIL and BSAI lock variants absent in the SI line.

Where the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X1000TC Is Used
Heavy Machinery Elevation
Drives large platens and heavy lifting stages where the 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily handles substantial vertical loads over the long 1000 mm travel.
Automated Assembly Presses
Applies steady clamping pressure for heavy-duty component seating, utilizing the 50 mm adjustable air cushions to decelerate the massive payload at stroke ends.
Bulk Material Diversion
Actuates large-scale sorting gates and heavy diverters on production lines, benefiting from the robust 40 mm piston rod and TC trunnion mounting.
Replacing the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X1000TC with the SAI160X1000TC
To replace the SI160X1000TC, order the SAI160X1000TC with the TC trunnion mount, confirming the ISO 15552 interface, 160 mm bore, 1000 mm stroke, and G3/4 port (PT/G/NPT thread options). Because this lacks a -S suffix, it cannot accept a CS1-B/DS1-B sensor. For sizing, the 10053 N push at 0.5 MPa safely handles a 6032 N load; if undersized, the 200 mm bore offers more force. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates—so use a SAIL/BSAI lock variant or external pilot check valve for holding. Finally, at 1000 mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load damage.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAI160X1000TC
- ✓ 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 SI160X1000TC FAQ
Yes, the SI160X1000TC is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI160X1000TC. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 160 mm bore, 1000 mm stroke, G3/4 port, TC mount, and output force.
The 160 mm bore delivers 10053 N push and 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 14074 N push at 0.7 MPa, 18095 N at 0.9 MPa, and a theoretical max of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating speed is 30-500 mm/s. It uses a G3/4 port and M36x2 rod thread.
