This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI160X450N, 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 SI160X450N is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 450mm stroke, G3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI160X450N, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI160X450N is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 160 mm bore and 450 mm stroke. It delivers 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa via a G3/4 port. The direct replacement is the SAI160X450N, matching the interface, force, and mounting.
The SAI upgrade features a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure. This non-magnet SKU cannot take a sensor, unlike the CS1-B/DS1-B legacy switches.

| 0.7 MPa | 14074 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 2050 kgf | |
The SAI160X450N produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

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 metal forming presses where the 14074 N push at 0.7 MPa ensures rigid actuation.
Raises heavy loading dock scissor gates, safely moving loads near the 512 kg vertical lift limit.
Secures large injection molds, utilizing the 50 mm adjustable cushions to stop 450 mm strokes smoothly.
To replace this SI with the SAI160X450N, verify the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 450 mm stroke, G3/4 port, and M36x2 thread. The NBR seal suits -20 to +70 C; choose Viton H for up to 150 C. Lacking a -S magnet, this cylinder cannot accept position sensors. For sizing, the 125 mm bore offers 6136 N [email protected], while the 200 mm bore provides 15708 N. At 450 mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load wear. The air cushion only decelerates; it does not hold load. For load holding on air loss, use an external pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI160X450N is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI160X450N. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, keeping the same 160 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, 10053 N force, G3/4 port, and mounting fixtures.
It uses a G3/4 port. Forces are 10053 N push and 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 14074 N push at 0.7 MPa, and 18095 N push at 0.9 MPa. The theoretical max is 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI160X450N replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
