This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI160X10FA, 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 SI160X10FA
The AirTAC SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X10FA is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 10mm stroke, G3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI160X10FA, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X10FA
The AirTAC SI160X10FA is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 160 mm bore and 10 mm stroke. It delivers 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa via a G3/4 port. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAI160X10FA, a direct upgrade retaining the identical ISO 15552 mounting interface, FA flange, output force, and stroke.
The SAI upgrade features a modernized piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and extended life. For load holding, note that a standard cylinder drifts without live air—the cushion only decelerates; use the SAIL or BSAI lock variants if needed. This no-magnet SKU cannot accept a 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 SI160X10FA Is Used
Heavy-Duty Clamping
Generates 10053 N of clamping thrust at 0.5 MPa to secure large steel weldments during machining operations.
Short-Stroke Pressing
Executes high-force 10 mm pressing and seating tasks for heavy industrial bearings and large mechanical components.
Industrial Forming
Provides the robust 160 mm bore power needed for short-stroke metal bending, stamping, and riveting in manufacturing lines.
Replacing the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X10FA with the SAI160X10FA
To replace the SI160X10FA, order the SAI160X10FA. Confirm the ISO 15552 FA flange interface, 160 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, and G3/4 port (available in PT, G, or NPT). This SKU lacks a magnet (-S), so it cannot support legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors; order a magnet-equipped SAI if sensing is required. For sizing, the 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa handles heavy loads, while a neighbouring 200 mm bore offers 15708 N if more thrust is needed. Because the stroke is only 10 mm, side-load risks are minimal, but always verify rod-bending limits. For load holding on air loss, specify an external pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant, as cushions only decelerate.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAI160X10FA
- ✓ 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 SI160X10FA FAQ
Yes, the SI160X10FA is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI160X10FA. It features the same ISO 15552 FA flange mounting interface, 160 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, output force, and G3/4 port, fitting existing fixtures perfectly.
This double-acting cylinder uses a G3/4 port and delivers a push force of 10053 N and 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.
