This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI32AX160, 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 SI32 Standard Air Cylinder SI32AX160
The AirTAC SI32 Standard Air Cylinder SI32AX160 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 160mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI32AX160, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SI32 Standard Air Cylinder SI32AX160
The AirTAC SI32AX160 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 160 mm stroke. It delivers a push force of 402 N at 0.5 MPa via a G1/8 port and M10x1.25 rod thread. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAI32AX160, a direct upgrade sharing the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, output force and porting.
The SAI successor features an upgraded piston seal utilizing two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and extended life. This SKU uses an SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (the -A option) for corrosion resistance, but lacks a magnet, meaning it cannot accept a CS1-B/DS1-B sensor.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø32mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 402 N | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | — |

Where the Airtac SI32 Standard Air Cylinder SI32AX160 Is Used
Small Part Clamping
Ideal for securing lightweight machining fixtures or electronics housings, utilizing the 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa with the corrosion-resistant SUS420J2 rod.
Package Diverting
Drives short-stroke routing gates or pop-up stops on material handling lines, where the 160 mm travel and 20 kg vertical lift capacity are perfectly matched.
Compact Assembly Stations
Fits into tight automated benchtop machinery using its ISO 15552 footprint, providing reliable linear actuation without requiring external tie-rod supports.
Replacing the Airtac SI32 Standard Air Cylinder SI32AX160 with the SAI32AX160
To replace the SI32AX160, order the SAI32AX160 and confirm the ISO 15552 mounting accessory (LB, FA, TC, etc.), the G1/8 port thread (PT/G/NPT), and the 160 mm stroke. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot support position sensing; if switches are needed, order an SAI32AX160S instead. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates near stroke ends—so for load holding use an external pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant. With a 160 mm stroke, ensure guide alignment to prevent rod bending side-loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAI32AX160
- ✓ Same bore / stroke / force
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/G/NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Mounting reused (FA/FB/CA/CB/CR/LB/TC)
Airtac SI32 Standard Air Cylinder SI32AX160 FAQ
Yes, the AirTAC SI32AX160 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI32AX160. It shares the identical ISO 15552 mounting interface, 32 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, output force, G1/8 port, and M10x1.25 rod thread, fitting directly into existing fixtures.
This 32 mm bore cylinder uses a G1/8 air port. At 0.5 MPa it provides 402 N of push force and 345 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa the push force is 563 N, and at 0.9 MPa it is 724 N. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
