This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI160X70, 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 Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X70 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 70mm stroke, G3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI160X70, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI160X70 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 160 mm bore and 70 mm stroke. It delivers a thrust of 10053 N at 0.5 MPa. The direct replacement is the SAI160X70, which matches the exact bore, stroke, output force, G3/4 port, and ISO 15552 mounting interface for existing fixtures.
The SAI upgrade features a new piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. This specific SKU lacks a magnet (-S), so it cannot accept a CS1-B/DS1-B sensor.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI160X70 carries the same ISO 15552 ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 10053 N | 9425 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 14074 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 2050 kgf | |
The SAI160X70 produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

| -S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing. |
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).
Provides the high 10053 N thrust at 0.5 MPa needed for stamping and forming robust metal components.
Secures large fabricated weldments during machining using the 160 mm bore and 70 mm short stroke.
Acts as a heavy-duty stopper in automated distribution hubs, halting fully loaded pallets.
To replace the discontinued SI160X70, order the SAI160X70 and verify your ISO 15552 mounting interface, 70 mm stroke, and G3/4 port (available in PT, G, or NPT). Since this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot support position sensing. For sizing, the 160 mm bore yields 10053 N push at 0.5 MPa; if less force is needed, the 125 mm bore offers 6136 N. If more force is required, the 200 mm bore provides 15708 N. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss because the cushion only decelerates; for load holding, use an external pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI160X70 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI160X70. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, keeping the same 160 mm bore, 70 mm stroke, force, G3/4 port, and mounting.
It features a G3/4 port. The force ratings are 10053 N push and 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 14074 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI160X70 replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
