This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI160X1040SFA, 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 SI160X1040SFA
The AirTAC SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X1040SFA is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 1040mm stroke, G3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI160X1040SFA, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X1040SFA
The AirTAC SI160X1040SFA is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 1040 mm stroke. It delivers a thrust of 10053 N at 0.5 MPa and features a G3/4 port, M36x2 rod thread, and 50 mm adjustable cushions. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAI160X1040SFA, a direct sharing the exact bore, stroke, force, port, and FA mounting interface.
The SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. The SAI family adds SAIL and BSAI lock variants the SI lacked. Your -S magnet works with legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, while the SAI uses current AirTAC switches.

Where the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X1040SFA Is Used
Heavy Press Forming
Applies the 14074 N push at 0.7 MPa for heavy-duty stamping and metal forming tasks requiring sustained force.
Long-Reach Lowering
Manages the 1040 mm stroke for lowering large fabricated components or materials into treatment baths.
Pallet Positioning
Shifts loaded pallets or heavy industrial containers along transfer lines using the 9425 N pull force.
Replacing the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X1040SFA with the SAI160X1040SFA
To replace the SI160X1040SFA, order the SAI160X1040SFA. It drops into existing fixtures via the same ISO 15552 interface and FA flange. Confirm your port thread (PT/G/NPT) and magnet requirement. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 10053 N and pulls 9425 N; if undersizing, a 125 mm bore yields 6136 N. Because this is a 1040 mm stroke, use an external guide to prevent rod bending and side-load wear. A plain cylinder drifts without live air; for load holding, use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAI160X1040SFA
- ✓ 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 SI160X1040SFA FAQ
Yes, the SI160X1040SFA is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI160X1040SFA. It shares the identical ISO 15552 mounting interface, 160 mm bore, 1040 mm stroke, output force, G3/4 port, and FA flange, fitting existing fixtures perfectly.
It operates at 0.15-1.0 MPa (proof 1.5 MPa) with a speed of 30-500 mm/s. Force output is 10053 N push and 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 14074 N push at 0.7 MPa, 18095 N push at 0.9 MPa, and a theoretical max of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
