This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI160X160SH, 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 SI160X160SH
The AirTAC SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X160SH is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 160mm stroke, G3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI160X160SH, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X160SH
The AirTAC SI160X160SH is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 160 mm bore and 160 mm stroke. It delivers 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa and includes a high-temperature Viton H seal rated for 0 to 150 C. The direct replacement is the SAI160X160SH, sharing the same G3/4 port, M36x2 rod thread, and ISO 15552 mounting interface.
Upgrading to the SAI160X160SH retains all ratings while adding an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure. The SAI family also introduces SAIL and BSAI lock variants absent from the legacy SI line.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø160mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 10053 N | 9425 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 14074 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 2050 kgf | |
The SAI160X160SH produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

Where the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X160SH Is Used
Heavy Stamp Pressing
Drives large presses and stamping dies requiring 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa with stable high-temperature operation.
Automotive Welding Jigs
Actuates heavy welding fixtures where the 160 mm stroke and robust M36x2 rod secure large structural panels.
Industrial Foundry Handling
Moves cast components in hot environments up to 150 C using the Viton H seal for reliable high-temp performance.
Replacing the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X160SH with the SAI160X160SH
To replace the SI160X160SH, order the SAI160X160SH, confirming the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 160 mm stroke, G3/4 port, and the high-temp Viton H seal. The built-in magnet (-S) supports legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, though the SAI replacement uses current AirTAC switches. If downsizing, a 125 mm bore yields 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa; if upsizing, a 200 mm bore provides 15708 N. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates. For load holding, use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAI160X160SH
- ✓ 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 SI160X160SH FAQ
Yes, the SI160X160SH is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI160X160SH. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 160 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, force, G3/4 port, and mounting fixtures.
It features a G3/4 port and delivers 10053 N push and 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa push is 14074 N, and 18095 N at 0.9 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
