This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI160X175FA, 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 SI160X175FA
The AirTAC Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X175FA is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 175mm stroke, G3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI160X175FA, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X175FA
The AirTAC SI160X175FA is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 160 mm bore and 175 mm stroke. It delivers 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa via a G3/4 port and M36x2 rod thread. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAI160X175FA, a direct upgrade retaining the exact FA flange mounting interface, output force, and 50 mm adjustable air cushions.
Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept position sensors. The SAI upgrade features a refined piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure. For load holding, note that standard cylinders drift without live air; consider the SAIL lock or BSAI clamp-lock variants.

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 SI160X175FA Is Used
Heavy Press Clamping
Generates 14074 N of thrust at 0.7 MPa to secure large metal castings or heavy plates during machining and press operations.
Large Mold Actuation
Moves substantial injection mold halves or heavy stamping dies with smooth 50 mm adjustable air cushions at both ends.
Replacing the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X175FA with the SAI160X175FA
To replace the SI160X175FA, order the SAI160X175FA. Confirm the ISO 15552 FA flange interface, 160 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, G3/4 port, and M36x2 thread. Since this SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot support legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. If you need position feedback, select an SAI model with a magnet. For sizing, the 160 mm bore yields 10053 N push at 0.5 MPa; dropping to a 125 mm bore reduces push to 6136 N, while a 200 mm bore increases it to 15708 N. A plain cylinder does not hold load on air loss—the cushion only decelerates. For secure holding, use the SAIL or BSAI lock variants, or an external pilot check valve. Although 175 mm is under 300 mm, always verify guide alignment to prevent rod bending on heavy fixtures.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAI160X175FA
- ✓ 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 SI160X175FA FAQ
Yes, the SI160X175FA is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI160X175FA. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, matching the 160 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, FA flange, and G3/4 port.
