This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI160X60, 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 SI160X60
The AirTAC Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X60 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 60mm stroke, G3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI160X60, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X60
The AirTAC SI160X60 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 160 mm bore and 60 mm stroke. It delivers 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a G3/4 port. The direct replacement is the SAI160X60, matching the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, output force, and port size.
The SAI upgrade features a new piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. This non-magnet SKU cannot take a sensor. For high heat, Viton H seals raise the temperature range to 0-150 C.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI160X60 carries the same ISO 15552 ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø160mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 10053 N | 9425 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 14074 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 2050 kgf | |
The SAI160X60 produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

Where the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X60 Is Used
Heavy Pressing
Drives large stamping and forming presses requiring 10053 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa.
Industrial Clamping
Secures large fabricated steel sections during machining using its 9425 N pull force.
Replacing the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X60 with the SAI160X60
To replace the SI160X60, order the SAI160X60. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 60 mm stroke, G3/4 port (PT/G/NPT thread options), and your mounting accessory. This non-magnet version cannot accept a CS1-B or DS1-B sensor. Sizing both ways: a 160 mm bore yields 10053 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the neighbouring 125 mm bore offers 6136 N. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss; the cushion only decelerates. For load holding, use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant. The SAI family also adds the SAIF valve variant, though only for bores 32-100.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAI160X60
- ✓ 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 SI160X60 FAQ
Yes, the AirTAC SI160X60 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI160X60. It is a true ISO 15552 profile cylinder that matches the original bore, 60 mm stroke, output force, G3/4 port, and mounting interface, fitting existing fixtures perfectly.
The 160 mm bore uses a G3/4 port. It generates 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. It operates at 30-500 mm/s.
