This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI160X100SFA, 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 SI160X100SFA
The AirTAC Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X100SFA is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 100mm stroke, G3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI160X100SFA, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X100SFA
The AirTAC SI160X100SFA is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 160mm bore, 100mm stroke, and an FA flange mounting interface. It delivers a robust 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAI160X100SFA, a direct upgrade retaining the exact ISO 15552 mounting dimensions, G3/4 port size, M36x2 rod thread, and output force.
The SAI replacement features an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and extended life. The -S magnet supports legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, while the SAI family introduces lock and clamp variants (SAIL, BSAI) absent in the SI line.

Where the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X100SFA Is Used
Heavy Press Clamping
Generates up to 18095 N at 0.9 MPa to secure heavy metal components during high-stress machining or stamping operations.
Industrial Forging Press
Provides the sustained downward thrust required for forming large metal billets, utilizing the FA flange to handle massive axial loads.
Pallet Dispenser Actuator
Moves stacked pallets reliably in automated distribution lines, handling the high weight capacity with a 100mm stroke.
Replacing the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X100SFA with the SAI160X100SFA
To replace the discontinued SI160X100SFA, order the SAI160X100SFA. Confirm the ISO 15552 FA flange interface, 160mm bore, 100mm stroke, G3/4 port, and the -S magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches (the SAI uses current AirTAC switches). If sizing down, a 125mm bore yields 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa; if sizing up, a 200mm bore provides 15708 N. Note that a plain ISO 15552 cylinder drifts on air loss—the 50mm cushion only decelerates near stroke end. For load holding, use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants. If stroke needs exceed 300mm, add external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAI160X100SFA
- ✓ 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 SI160X100SFA FAQ
Yes, the SI160X100SFA is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI160X100SFA. It shares the identical ISO 15552 mounting interface, 160mm bore, 100mm stroke, force, and G3/4 port, fitting directly into existing FA flange fixtures.
This double-acting cylinder features a G3/4 port and delivers a push force of 10053 N and a pull force of 9425 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 14074 N, and 18095 N at 0.9 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
