The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160AX550-75S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 550mm stroke, G3/4 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 SAIJ160X550-75-S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty applications. It features a rear-mounted adjusting screw that allows you to trim the effective stroke, providing a usable travel window of 475 to 550 mm for precise end-position tuning. Equipped with a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (code A) and a built-in magnet (-S), it delivers a robust push force of 18095 N at 0.9 MPa.
This extruded aluminum barrel design includes sensor grooves on both sides, directly supporting AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic solid-state switches. The PT tapered port threads ensure a tight, leak-free pneumatic connection, while the 50 mm variable air cushions at both ends manage deceleration. The rear stopper sets the travel end but does not hold the load without live air pressure.

Fine-tune the 475-550 mm travel window during commissioning to perfectly seat large components without repositioning the entire press fixture.
Quickly adjust the rear stopper by up to 75 mm to accommodate different pallet sizes on an automated line, minimizing downtime between runs.
Leverage the 18095 N push force at 0.9 MPa to move heavy machinery sub-assemblies into place, relying on the rear screw for exact final positioning.
Choose this 160 mm bore when an 80 mm bore (yielding 4523 N push at 0.9 MPa) cannot meet your thrust requirements, but before stepping up to a massive 200 mm bore. The 75 mm adjustment range is ideal for product changeovers, allowing you to dial in the exact end-stop without swapping the cylinder or adding external stops. For load-holding without continuous air pressure, you must integrate an external rod lock or look at the SAIL or BSAI series, as the SAIJ adjuster is strictly a travel stop.
Because this model features a 550 mm stroke, the 40 mm diameter rod and M36x2 thread provide substantial rigidity, but an external guide is highly recommended to prevent excessive side-loading on the piston. It uses the standard SAIJ mounting subset (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2), omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR mounts. To replace an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 160 mm bore, 550 mm stroke, 75 mm adjuster, PT G3/4 port, and -S magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.9 MPa operating pressure, this 160 mm bore cylinder provides a push force of 18095 N and a pull force of 9425 N. At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 10053 N.
The rear adjuster acts as a mechanical stop, allowing you to shorten the 550 mm nominal stroke by up to 75 mm, creating a usable travel window of 475 to 550 mm. It only sets the end position and does not lock the load without live air pressure.
