The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160AX900-20S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 900mm 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 SAIJ160X900-20-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, providing an exact usable travel window of 880 to 900 mm. Built with a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod and a PT tapered port, it delivers massive thrust up to 18095 N at 0.9 MPa. The integrated -S magnet enables precise position detection with CMSE reed or DMSE electronic sensors.
This adjustable-stroke design allows you to fine-tune the retract end-position at commissioning without swapping the cylinder or adding external stops. The rear adjuster acts purely as a travel stop and does not hold the load without live air. For load-holding requirements without pneumatic pressure, consider an external rod lock or the AirTAC BSAI clamp-lock series.

Dial in the exact 880-900 mm end-stop during heavy press commissioning to accommodate material thickness variations without changing the fixture.
Adjust the retract position on the fly for different pallet sizes on a conveyor line, utilizing the 20 mm trim range to avoid reprogramming stops.
Position heavy automotive or industrial components precisely, relying on the 18095 N push force and SUS420J2 rod for durability in harsh environments.
Selecting this 160 mm bore cylinder makes sense when your application requires heavy thrust, such as the 14074 N push force at 0.7 MPa, combined with precise end-position tuning. If you need less force, stepping down to a 125 mm bore yields 8590 N at 0.7 MPa. The adjustable 880-900 mm window is ideal for product changeovers on a line, whereas a fixed SAI cylinder lacks this commissioning flexibility. To match this ISO 15552 replacement exactly, specify the 160 mm bore, 900 mm stroke, 20 mm adjustment, PT port thread, SUS420J2 rod, and the -S magnet option.
Because the 900 mm stroke is long and unsupported, an external guide is strongly recommended to manage side loads and prevent rod binding. The 40 mm rod and M36x2 thread provide robust mechanical strength, but the cylinder itself cannot hold position unpowered. The SAIJ mounting set includes Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, deliberately omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR.
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 screw allows you to shorten the effective stroke by up to 20 mm, creating a usable travel window of 880 to 900 mm. It functions as a mechanical stop for end-position tuning and is not a locking device.
