This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI160X530S, 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 SI160X530S
The AirTAC SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X530S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 530mm stroke, G3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI160X530S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X530S
The AirTAC SI160X530S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 160mm bore and 530mm stroke. It delivers 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa and uses a G3/4 air port. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAI160X530S, a direct replacement sharing the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, output force, and port size.
The SAI upgrade introduces a refined piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for lower start-up pressure and extended life. For applications needing load holding on air loss, the new SAI family offers SAIL and BSAI lock variants the original SI lacked.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø160mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 10053 N | 9425 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 14074 N | — |

Where the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X530S Is Used
Heavy Press Forming
Generates up to 18095 N at 0.7 MPa for bending thick metal plates and driving large stamping dies in automated fabrication lines.
Pallet Lift Stations
Provides the 512 kg vertical lift margin needed to elevate loaded pallets between conveyor tiers using robust external guide rails.
Injection Mold Clamping
Secures heavy industrial molds with a 2050 kgf maximum theoretical force, relying on the 50mm adjustable cushions to stop smoothly.
Replacing the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X530S with the SAI160X530S
To replace the SI160X530S, order the SAI160X530S and verify your ISO 15552 mounting interface, G3/4 port, and M36x2 rod thread. The -S suffix indicates a piston magnet for position sensing; the legacy SI used CS1-B/DS1-B switches, while the SAI family takes current AirTAC sensors. If sizing up or down, neighbouring bores (125mm or 200mm) offer 6136 N or 15708 N push at 0.5 MPa respectively. Because this is a 530mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load damage. A plain cylinder does not hold load without live air; the cushion only decelerates. For secure holding, specify the SAIL lock variant or an external pilot check valve.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAI160X530S
- ✓ 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 SI160X530S FAQ
Yes, the AirTAC SI160X530S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI160X530S. It shares the identical ISO 15552 mounting interface, 160mm bore, 530mm stroke, output force, and G3/4 port, so it fits existing fixtures perfectly.
The 160mm bore uses a G3/4 air port. At 0.5 MPa it provides 10053 N push and 9425 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa push is 14074 N, and at 0.9 MPa it is 18095 N. The theoretical maximum force is 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
