The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160AX85-40 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 85mm 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 SAIJ160X85-40 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that creates a usable travel window of 45 to 85 mm. It delivers a substantial 14074 N of push force at 0.7 MPa, making it well-suited for heavy-duty positioning tasks. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for flexible switch mounting.
This specific configuration incorporates a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (material code A) for enhanced corrosion resistance and features PT tapered port threads. The rear adjustment screw allows you to fine-tune the end position at commissioning without adding external stops. The adjuster functions strictly as a travel stop and does not hold the load without live air pressure.

Dial in the exact 45 to 85 mm travel window during machine setup to accommodate varying material thicknesses without mechanical modifications.
Quickly adjust the rear stopper for different package sizes on a packaging line, utilizing the 40 mm adjustment range to set new end positions.
Leverage the 14074 N push force at 0.7 MPa to move heavy pallets or tooling, relying on the SUS420J2 rod for durability in industrial environments.
Select this 160 mm bore model when an application requires high thrust, such as 10053 N at 0.5 MPa, alongside precise end-position tuning. If you need less force, stepping down to the 125 mm bore yields 8590 N at 0.7 MPa. The 40 mm adjustment range is ideal for product changeovers on a line, allowing operators to dial in the exact retract distance without swapping the cylinder. For load-holding without continuous air pressure, use a SAIL or BSAI cylinder instead, as this adjuster is not a lock.
When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 160 mm bore, 85 mm nominal stroke, 40 mm adjustment range, PT port threads, and required mounting accessories. The SAIJ series supports a reduced mounting set including Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. Because the stroke is under 300 mm, side-load concerns are minimal, but the robust 40 mm rod and M36x2 thread handle high mechanical stress effectively.
Quick checklist
At a 0.7 MPa operating pressure, this 160 mm bore cylinder provides 14074 N of push force and 9425 N of pull force. It can deliver up to 18095 N of push force at 0.9 MPa.
The rear adjuster screw allows you to shorten the effective stroke by up to 40 mm from the nominal 85 mm, creating a usable travel window of 45 to 85 mm. It acts as a mechanical stop to fine-tune the end position and is not a lock.
