This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI160X65SFTC, 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 SI160X65SFTC
The AirTAC Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X65SFTC is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 65mm stroke, G3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI160X65SFTC, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X65SFTC
The AirTAC SI160X65SFTC is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 160 mm bore and 65 mm stroke. It delivers 10053 N push and 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a G3/4 port and M36x2 rod thread. The direct replacement is the SAI160X65SFTC, which matches the original FTC trunnion mount, output force, and dimensions.
The SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and longevity. For high-heat environments, Viton H seals raise the temperature limit to 150 C.

Where the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X65SFTC Is Used
Heavy Press Forming
Generates 14074 N at 0.7 MPa to form thick metal components, utilizing the 65 mm stroke for rapid, high-force pressing cycles.
Pallet Dispensing
Handles heavy loaded pallets in automated distribution lines, taking advantage of the 512 kg vertical lift capacity.
Injection Molding Extraction
Extracts large molded parts from heavy machinery, relying on the 50 mm adjustable cushion to decelerate the 40 mm rod smoothly.
Replacing the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X65SFTC with the SAI160X65SFTC
To replace the SI160X65SFTC, order the SAI160X65SFTC. Confirm the ISO 15552 interface, 160 mm bore, 65 mm stroke, G3/4 port, and FTC trunnion mounting. The -S suffix means a magnet is present for CS1-B/DS1-B sensors; the SAI uses current AirTAC switches. Sizing both ways: a 200 mm bore offers more force, while a 125 mm bore provides 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa. Note that 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 variants. Rod material options include carbon steel, SUS420J2, or SUS304.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAI160X65SFTC
- ✓ 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 SI160X65SFTC FAQ
Yes, the SI160X65SFTC is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI160X65SFTC. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same FTC trunnion mount, 160 mm bore, 65 mm stroke, force, and G3/4 port.
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 10053 N and pulls 9425 N. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 14074 N, and 18095 N at 0.9 MPa. The theoretical max is 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating speed is 30-500 mm/s, with a 50 mm adjustable cushion at both ends.
