About the AirTAC SIL160
Discontinued: AirTAC has replaced the SILF/SILB series with the SAILF/SAILB series. Every SILF/SILB code on this page is supplied as the current SAILF/SAILB with the same code after the prefix, for example SILF160X25 ships as SAILF160X25. The specifications on this page are those of the SAILF/SAILB you receive. Older hyphenated codes are the same code: SILF160X25-S ships as SAILF160X25S.
The AirTAC SIL160 is a double-acting end-lock ISO 15552 cylinder with a 160 mm bore and a 40 mm piston rod. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 10053 N and pulls 9425 N; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 14074 N push and 13195 N pull. Force depends on bore and pressure only, so every stroke on this page gives the same output.
All SIL160 versions share 3/4" air ports, an M36×2 rod thread and adjustable air cushions. The cylinder runs on filtered air between 0.15 and 1.0 MPa (proof 1.5 MPa), from -20 to +70 °C, at 30 to 500 mm/s. This page lists 53 stock order codes with strokes from 25 to 1800 mm; catalog standard strokes run up to 1500 mm, and the longer codes are non-standard strokes that we confirm with the quote.
The SIL160 adds a mechanical lock to one end cover: SILF codes have it in the front (rod-end) cover and SILB codes in the rear cover. The lock holds the piston at that end of the stroke while the port on the lock side is exhausted, so the rod does not move if the air supply is lost; air on that port releases it automatically, and a hand lever releases it manually. The catalog gives no holding-force figure for the lock.

Theoretical output force (Ø160 mm)
| Pressure | Push | Pull |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 10053 N | 9425 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 14074 N | 13195 N |
Push = pressure × bore area; pull subtracts the Ø40 mm rod area. Usable force is lower because of friction and back-pressure.

Where the SIL160 Is Used
High-force actuation
Over 10.1 kN at 0.5 MPa for presses, lifting tables and dampers.
Holding at the stroke end
The lock keeps the rod at the locked end when the air supply is cut.
Vertical and inclined axes
Lifting units that must not drift down from the locked end when the air is off.
Choosing the Right SIL160 Configuration
Start with the stroke. Pick the exact travel your machine needs; a longer stroke adds length, weight and air consumption without adding force. If your length is not listed, request a quote and we will confirm whether it can be built.
Then choose the mounting. Basic (no code) uses the cylinder's own mounting holes. This bore is stocked with FA front flange, TC center trunnion, FTC front trunnion. Foot and flange mountings hold the cylinder rigid for straight-line loads; clevis and trunnion mountings let it pivot when the load moves in an arc.
Finally pick the version. It starts with the lock position: F locks the piston at the front (rod-end) cover, B at the rear cover, so choose the end where the load must be held (this bore is stocked with front locks only). Then: S adds a magnet for position sensors.
AirTAC SIL160 FAQ
Discontinued: AirTAC has replaced the SILF/SILB series with the SAILF/SAILB series. Every SILF/SILB code on this page is supplied as the current SAILF/SAILB with the same code after the prefix, for example SILF160X25 ships as SAILF160X25. The specifications on this page are those of the SAILF/SAILB you receive. Older hyphenated codes are the same code: SILF160X25-S ships as SAILF160X25S.
The position of the lock. F has it in the front (rod-end) cover and holds the piston at that end of the stroke; B has it in the rear cover and holds the piston at the other end. Bore, force and mountings are the same.
Supply air to the port on the lock side and the lock releases automatically; it can also be released by hand with the lever. AirTAC advises against 3-position valves (closed or pressure center) for this cylinder, because pressure trapped on the lock side stops the lock from engaging.
No. Every SIL160 gives about 10053 N push and 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa, whatever the stroke.
3/4" ports, PT thread as standard.
Basic plus FA front flange, TC center trunnion, FTC front trunnion. Use foot or flange for straight-line loads, clevis or trunnion when the cylinder must pivot.
Usually yes. Request a quote with the stroke, mounting and version and we will confirm whether it can be built, plus price and lead time.
0.15 to 1.0 MPa operating pressure (proof 1.5 MPa) and -20 to +70 °C on filtered air.
No. You can order a single SIL160. Orders are processed and handed to the carrier within 3-5 business days.
