This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI160X300SN, 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 SI160X300SN is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 300mm stroke, G3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI160X300SN, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI160X300SN is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 160 mm bore and 300 mm stroke. Delivering 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa, it features a G3/4 port, M36x2 rod thread, and 50 mm adjustable cushions. The direct replacement is the SAI160X300SN, retaining identical ISO 15552 mounting dimensions, output force, and stroke.
The SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. The NBR (-N) seal suits -20 to +70 C, while Viton H extends this to 150 C. The magnet (-S) works with legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors.

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 forming dies and heavy-duty presses requiring 10053 N thrust at 0.5 MPa with stable 160 mm bore rigidity.
Secures oversized components during machining, utilizing the 50 mm adjustable air cushions to decelerate heavy 160 mm payloads smoothly.
To replace the SI160X300SN, order the SAI160X300SN. It is a direct per ISO 15552 mounting-interface dimensions, matching the 160 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, G3/4 port, and NBR seal. The -S magnet enables current AirTAC switches (replacing legacy CS1-B/DS1-B). For sizing both ways: a 125 mm bore yields 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a 200 mm bore yields 15708 N. At 300 mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load wear. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss; for load holding, use an external pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI160X300SN is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI160X300SN. It shares the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 160 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, output force, and G3/4 port, fitting existing fixtures perfectly while upgrading the piston seal.
The 160 mm bore features a G3/4 port and M36x2 thread. 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 max of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating speed is 30-500 mm/s.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI160X300SN replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
