This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI160X336S, 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 SI160X336S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 336mm stroke, G3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI160X336S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI160X336S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring an extruded aluminum barrel and a 336 mm stroke. In this force class it delivers 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa through its G3/4 port. The direct replacement is the SAI160X336S, matching the original bore, stroke, output force, porting, and ISO 15552 mounting interface for seamless fixture integration.
The SAI upgrade introduces an advanced piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and extended life. If your application requires heat resistance, Viton H seals raise the operating range to 150 C. To hold a load securely without live air, consider the SAIL or BSAI lock variants, as standard cushions only decelerate.

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 heavy-duty stamping dies requiring high thrust, utilizing the 14074 N push force at 0.7 MPa to form thick metal plates.
Clamps heavy machinery frames during welding or machining, relying on the robust 160 mm bore and 336 mm stroke to clear large workpieces.
To replace the discontinued SI160X336S, order the SAI160X336S. Verify your ISO 15552 mounting accessory (LB, FA, TC, etc.), the G3/4 port thread (PT, G, or NPT), and the M36x2 rod-end thread. Because this unit includes the -S magnet, it supports legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, while the SAI replacement uses current AirTAC switches. When sizing, note the 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa; dropping to a 125 mm bore reduces force to 6136 N, whereas a 200 mm bore increases it to 15708 N. For this 336 mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load damage. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss; for load holding, specify an external pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI160X336S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI160X336S. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, matching the 160 mm bore, 336 mm stroke, force, G3/4 port, and mounting interface.
The SI160X336S provides 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 SAI160X336S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
