This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI160X830S, 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 SI160X830S
The AirTAC SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X830S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 830mm stroke, G3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI160X830S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X830S
The AirTAC SI160X830S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 160 mm bore and 830 mm stroke. It delivers 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a G3/4 air port and a 50 mm adjustable air cushion at each end. The direct replacement is the SAI160X830S, matching the bore, stroke, force, port, and ISO 15552 mounting interface.
The SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and extended life. For applications needing load holding on air loss, the SAI family adds SAIL and BSAI lock variants the SI lacked. This -S model includes a piston magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, while the SAI uses current AirTAC switches.

Where the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X830S Is Used
Heavy Press Forming
Generates 14074 N at 0.7 MPa to actuate large forming presses, with the 50 mm cushion absorbing kinetic energy at stroke end.
Bulk Material Diversion
Drives heavy-duty diverter arms on conveyor lines, using the 830 mm stroke to redirect large bulk material flows efficiently.
Replacing the Airtac SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160X830S with the SAI160X830S
To replace the SI160X830S, order the SAI160X830S. Verify the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 830 mm stroke, G3/4 port, and your mounting accessory. The -S suffix means a magnet is present for position sensing; the SAI accepts current AirTAC switches, while the legacy SI used CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. Because the 830 mm stroke is long, use external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load damage. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss because the cushion only decelerates; for load holding, use an external rod lock, a pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant. If sizing down, the 125 mm bore yields 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa; if sizing up, the 200 mm bore provides 15708 N. Speed is 30-500 mm/s.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAI160X830S
- ✓ 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 SI160X830S FAQ
Yes, the SI160X830S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI160X830S. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, keeping the same 160 mm bore, 830 mm stroke, force, G3/4 port, and mounting interface.
It features a G3/4 air port and provides 10053 N push and 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 14074 N push at 0.7 MPa, and 18095 N push at 0.9 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
