The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ100AX160-30S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 160mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its standardized mounting interface makes it a drop-in replacement for other ISO 15552 cylinders in automation lines.
The AirTAC SAIJ100X160-30-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, allowing you to dial in the exact end-of-travel position during machine setup. With a 160 mm nominal stroke and a 30 mm adjustment range, it provides a usable travel window of 130 to 160 mm. This bore size delivers a robust 3927 Newtons of push force at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to 7068 Newtons at 0.9 MPa, making it well-suited for heavy-duty positioning tasks.
This specific SKU features a SUS420J2 stainless steel piston rod (option A) for superior corrosion resistance and includes a standard magnet (-S) for direct compatibility with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, and the PT tapered port threads ensure a tight, reliable pneumatic connection.

Dial in the 130-160 mm travel window on the fly to accommodate different product sizes without physically replacing the cylinder or re-engineering the machine frame.
Use the rear adjusting screw to precisely set the retract end-position during initial setup, absorbing mechanical tolerances and ensuring perfect alignment.
Leverage the 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa to move substantial masses while relying on the built-in stopper to consistently define the exact resting position.
Choose this 100 mm bore when your application requires higher thrust than the 80 mm variant (which provides 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa) but does not necessitate stepping up to the 125 mm bore. The adjustable stroke is ideal for product changeovers or fine-tuning a gripper's reach at commissioning without swapping out the physical cylinder or adding external stopper blocks. It utilizes a reduced mounting set including Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, omitting the FB, CA, CB, and CR options. Because the 160 mm stroke is under the 300 mm threshold, standard side-loading concerns are minimized, though the 25 mm rod and M20x1.5 thread provide excellent rigidity. Remember that the rear adjuster acts purely as a travel stop and does not hold the load without live air; for true load-holding, consider the SAIL or BSAI series.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 100 mm bore cylinder generates 3927 Newtons of push force and 3681 Newtons of pull force. If pressure is increased to 0.9 MPa, the push force reaches 7068 Newtons.
The rear adjusting screw acts as an external stopper that can shorten the effective stroke by up to 30 mm. This means the 160 mm nominal stroke can be fine-tuned down to a minimum of 130 mm, giving you a 130-160 mm usable travel window without changing the cylinder itself.
