This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI160X360S, 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 SI160X360S
The AirTAC SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X360S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 360mm stroke, G3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI160X360S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X360S
The AirTAC SI160X360S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 160 mm bore and 360 mm stroke. Delivering 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa, it features a G3/4 port, M36x2 rod thread, and 50 mm adjustable air cushions. The direct replacement is the SAI160X360S, matching the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, force, and port for immediate fixture integration.
The SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. The SAI family also adds SAIL and BSAI lock variants absent in the SI line. This -S model includes a piston magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, though the SAI uses current AirTAC switches.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø160mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 10053 N | 9425 N |

Where the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X360S Is Used
Heavy Pressing
Drives large stamping and forming presses requiring 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa with stable 360 mm travel.
Pallet Handling
Indexes heavy loaded pallets on conveyors, utilizing the 50 mm adjustable cushions to halt 160 mm bores smoothly.
Replacing the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X360S with the SAI160X360S
To replace the SI160X360S, order the SAI160X360S. Verify the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 360 mm stroke, G3/4 port (PT/G/NPT), and mounting accessory. The -S magnet equates to current AirTAC switches on the SAI. Sizing both ways: a 200 mm bore offers more force, while a 125 mm bore provides 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates—so use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for load holding, or specify the SAIL/BSAI lock variant. For the 360 mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending and side loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAI160X360S
- ✓ 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 SI160X360S FAQ
Yes, the SI160X360S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI160X360S. It shares the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 160 mm bore, 360 mm stroke, output force, and G3/4 port, fitting existing fixtures perfectly.
The 160 mm bore delivers 10053 N push and 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 14074 N push at 0.7 MPa, 18095 N at 0.9 MPa, and a max of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating speed is 30-500 mm/s.
