This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI160X60FA, 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 SI160X60FA
The AirTAC Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X60FA 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 SAI160X60FA, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X60FA
The AirTAC SI160X60FA is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with an FA flange mount. Built for heavy-duty tasks, it delivers 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a 40 mm rod and G3/4 port. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAI160X60FA, a direct replacement matching the exact stroke, bore, force, port, and ISO 15552 mounting interface.
The SAI upgrade features a modernized piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and extended life. Note this specific SKU lacks a magnet (-S), so it cannot accept CS1-B or DS1-B sensors. For high-heat environments, a Viton H seal option raises the operating ceiling to 150 C.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI160X60FA 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 | — |

Where the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X60FA Is Used
Heavy Press Operations
Drives large stamping and forming presses requiring substantial thrust, delivering 14074 N at 0.7 MPa to seat heavy components firmly.
Mold Clamping Stations
Secures large injection molds using the rigid FA flange interface, utilizing the 9425 N pull force to hold heavy tooling securely.
Replacing the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X60FA with the SAI160X60FA
To replace the discontinued SI160X60FA, order the SAI160X60FA. Confirm the FA flange accessory matches your existing ISO 15552 fixture, along with the G3/4 port and M36x2 rod thread. Because this SKU has no magnet, you cannot mount position sensors; if sensing is required, switch to an SAI160X60FAS. Sizing both ways: the 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—so for load holding, specify the SAIL or BSAI lock variant, or add an external pilot check valve.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAI160X60FA
- ✓ 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 SI160X60FA FAQ
Yes, the SI160X60FA is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI160X60FA. It shares the identical ISO 15552 FA mounting interface, 160 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, output force, and G3/4 port, fitting existing fixtures perfectly.
This double-acting cylinder uses a G3/4 air 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 maximum of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
