About the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160AX55-10
The AirTAC SAIJ160X55-10 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, enabling a usable travel window of 45 to 55 mm. Delivering 14074 N of push force at 0.7 MPa, it handles heavy-duty positioning with precision. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for flexible switch mounting.
This variant features a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (option A) for enhanced corrosion resistance and uses PT tapered port threads. The rear adjustment screw allows mechanics to fine-tune the retract end position during commissioning without adding external stops. It operates at speeds of 30-500 mm/s and includes adjustable air cushions at both ends to decelerate the massive 2050 kgf maximum load.

Where the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160AX55-10 Is Used
Heavy Press Tuning
Dial in the exact 45-55 mm retract position during machine commissioning to ensure precise pressing force without swapping physical spacers.
Product Changeover
Quickly adjust the end-stop on automated lines when product thickness varies, utilizing the 10 mm trim window to accommodate new specifications.
Assembly End-Positioning
Fine-tune heavy component seating operations, relying on the 14074 N push force and rear stopper to set exact retraction depths.
Is the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160AX55-10 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 160 mm bore when 100 mm bore cylinders fall short on thrust, as they only provide 5497 N at 0.7 MPa, whereas this model delivers 14074 N. The 10 mm adjustment range is ideal for applications requiring exact variable end-stops rather than a fixed stroke SAI cylinder. Remember that the rear adjuster acts only as a travel stop and does not hold the load without live air; for true fail-safe load holding, consider the SAIL or BSAI series.
When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 160 mm bore, 55 mm nominal stroke, 10 mm adjustment, PT port threads, and standard mounting configuration. The SAIJ supports a reduced mounting set including Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR options. Because the stroke is short, side-load stress is minimal, but always ensure the M36x2 rod thread is properly aligned to prevent binding.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — consider a guided cylinder
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (FA/FB/CA/CB/LB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160AX55-10 FAQ
It features a rear adjusting screw that allows you to trim the effective stroke by up to 10 mm, creating a usable travel window of 45 to 55 mm. This stopper fine-tunes the end position at commissioning but does not lock the load without live air pressure.
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, this 160 mm bore cylinder provides a push force of 14074 N and a pull force of 9425 N. It can achieve a maximum push force of 18095 N at 0.9 MPa.
