This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI160X25S, 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.

The AirTAC SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X25S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 25mm stroke, G3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI160X25S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI160X25S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 160 mm bore and 25 mm stroke. Delivering 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a G3/4 port, it is replaced by the SAI160X25S. This direct successor shares the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, M36x2 thread, and 50 mm cushions.
The SAI upgrade features two Y-shaped one-way piston seals for low start-up pressure and long life. The SAI family adds SAIL and BSAI lock variants the SI lacked. This -S SKU has a magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B switches.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI160X25S carries the same ISO 15552 ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 10053 N | 9425 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 14074 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 2050 kgf | |
The SAI160X25S produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

| ×25 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing. |
Legacy SI-family variants: SID (double rod), SIJ (adjustable stroke) — each maps to its SAI equivalent (SID→SAID, SIJ→SAIJ). Rod material: carbon steel (blank) / SUS420J2 (A) / SUS304 (B).
Drives large presses and stamping dies requiring high force over a short 25 mm travel distance.
Provides robust 10053 N clamping force for securing heavy fabrications during machining or welding.
Applies steady vertical pressure for seating large bearings and heavy mechanical components.
To replace the SI160X25S, order the SAI160X25S. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, G3/4 port, and your mounting accessory (LB, FA, CA, TC). The -S magnet enables CS1-B/DS1-B sensors; the SAI uses current AirTAC switches. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss—cushions only decelerate—so use SAIL or BSAI for holding. Sizing both ways: a 125 mm bore yields 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a 200 mm bore yields 15708 N. Rod material options include carbon steel, SUS420J2 (A), or SUS304 (B); Viton H seals allow 0-150 C.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI160X25S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI160X25S, which shares the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 160 mm bore, 25 mm stroke, force, G3/4 port, and accessories.
It delivers 10053 N push and 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 14074 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical max of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating speed is 30-500 mm/s, with a 50 mm adjustable cushion at each end.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI160X25S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
