About the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160AX550-10
The AirTAC SAIJ160X550-10 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that creates a 540-550mm usable travel window. It delivers immense thrust, providing 14074N of push force at 0.7 MPa and a maximum of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The extruded aluminum barrel incorporates sensor grooves on both sides for flexible positioning of detection switches.
This variant uses a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (material code A) for enhanced corrosion resistance compared to standard carbon steel. The rear adjustment screw allows operators to fine-tune the retract end-position by up to 10mm during commissioning without swapping cylinders or adding external stops. It utilizes PT tapered port threads and operates at speeds between 30-500 mm/s.

Where the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160AX550-10 Is Used
Heavy Press Tuning
Dial in the exact 540-550mm retract position on heavy pressing equipment during initial commissioning to ensure precise material deformation without mechanical shims.
Product Changeover
Quickly adjust the end-stop up to 10mm on automated lines when switching to a new product variant, saving downtime compared to physically swapping out a fixed-stroke cylinder.
Large Assembly Jigs
Handle heavy-duty assembly operations requiring up to 2050 kgf of maximum thrust while maintaining the flexibility to trim the stroke for varying fixture sizes.
Is the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160AX550-10 the Right Cylinder?
Select this 160mm bore when an application requires heavy thrust—such as 14074N at 0.7 MPa—that exceeds the 5497N push force of the smaller 100mm bore. The 10mm adjustment range is ideal for precision machine setups where you need a variable end-stop to dial in the exact retract position during product changeovers, rather than relying on a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder.
Because this is a 550mm stroke, the 40mm rod diameter should be paired with an external guide to prevent side-load damage over the long unsupported travel. Note that the rear adjuster acts only as a travel stop and does not hold the load without live air; for true load-holding without pressure, consider the BSAI clamp-lock or SAIL air-released lock cylinders. This model uses the reduced SAIJ mounting set (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2) and is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552.
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 SAIJ160AX550-10 FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, this 160mm bore cylinder provides 14074N of push force and 9425N of pull force. At its maximum rated pressure of 1.0 MPa, it delivers a peak push force of 2050 kgf.
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop that allows you to shorten the effective travel from the nominal 550mm down to 540mm. This creates a 540-550mm adjustable window for fine-tuning the end position at commissioning, but it functions only as a stop and does not lock the load without continuous air pressure.
