This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI160X200FA, 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 SI160X200FA
The AirTAC Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X200FA is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 200mm stroke, G3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI160X200FA, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X200FA
The AirTAC SI160X200FA is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder delivering 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a 160 mm bore and 200 mm stroke. It features an extruded aluminum barrel, a 40 mm carbon steel rod, an M36x2 thread, and a G3/4 port. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAI160X200FA, a direct replacement retaining the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, force, and FA flange dimensions.
The SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for lower start-up pressure and longer life. Note this specific SKU lacks a magnet (-S) and cannot accept a CS1-B/DS1-B sensor. The SAI family also adds SAIL, SAIF, and BSAI lock variants absent in the 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 SAI160X200FA 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 SI160X200FA Is Used
Heavy Press Operations
Drives large stamping and forming presses requiring 10053 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa, utilizing the rigid FA flange to withstand high impact forces.
Automated Assembly Clamping
Secures massive automotive or structural components during machining, leveraging the 14074 N push force at 0.7 MPa for unwavering hold.
Pallet Positioning
Shifts loaded pallets or heavy fixtures along conveyor lines, where the 40 mm rod and ISO 15552 dimensions ensure stable lateral support.
Replacing the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X200FA with the SAI160X200FA
To replace the SI160X200FA, order the SAI160X200FA keeping the identical 160 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, G3/4 port, and FA flange mounting. Because this SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot support position sensing; if detection is needed, specify an SAI160X200FAS. When sizing, verify force both ways: the 14074 N push at 0.7 MPa handles heavy loads, while neighboring bores (125 mm or 200 mm) offer alternatives if fixture space allows. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates—so for load holding use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant. Ensure side-load guides support the 200 mm stroke.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAI160X200FA
- ✓ 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 SI160X200FA FAQ
Yes, the SI160X200FA is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI160X200FA. It shares the identical ISO 15552 mounting interface, 160 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, G3/4 port, and FA flange, fitting existing fixtures perfectly.
This double-acting cylinder uses a G3/4 port. It delivers 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 maximum of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
