The AirTAC SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX1000-40 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 1000mm stroke, G3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its standardized mounting interface makes it interchangeable with other ISO 15552 cylinders at the mounting interface.
The AirTAC SAIJ160X1000-40 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that permits you to dial back the nominal 1000 mm travel by up to 40 mm, yielding a usable end-position window of 960 to 1000 mm. It delivers substantial thrust, pushing 14074 N at 0.7 MPa, making it suited for heavy-duty positioning tasks.
This unit is built with a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance and features PT tapered port threads. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for mounting CMSE reed or DMSE electronic switches. The rear adjustment mechanism functions purely as a travel stop for end-position tuning and relies on the built-in variable air cushions for deceleration; it does not lock or hold the load without continuous live air pressure.

Double-rod model: the rod passes through the rear cover, so both piston faces lose rod area and push is shown at the annular-area value. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

Related SAI-family variants: SAID (double rod), SAIJ (adjustable stroke), SAIL (with lock), SAIF (with valve), BSAI (enclasp / clamp-lock), and SAI-S with built-in magnet. Rod material: carbon steel (blank) / SUS420J2 (A) / SUS304 (B); seals: TPU (blank) / Viton H / NBR N.
Handles robust sorting or diverting of heavy pallets on conveyors, using the 960-1000 mm travel window to adapt the divert stroke to varying package dimensions.
Facilitates rapid changeover on automated assembly lines by allowing operators to fine-tune the 1000 mm end-stop position in-machinery without changing hardware.
The 40 mm adjustable range is ideal for fine-tuning machine changeovers or accommodating slight product size variations without physically swapping the cylinder or adding external stopper blocks. For any load-holding requirements during an air-loss event, this standard SAIJ adjuster is insufficient, and you must specify a SAIL pneumatic lock, BSAI clamp-lock, or an external pilot-operated check valve.
Because the 1000 mm stroke exceeds typical unsupported lengths, the 40 mm rod diameter and M36x2 thread still require a dedicated external guide to prevent side-load damage. As an ISO 15552 dimensionally interchangeable cylinder, it matches standard mounting footprints and accepts the SAIJ mounting subset: Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 (omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR).
Quick checklist
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop, allowing you to shorten the effective travel from the nominal 1000 mm down to 960 mm. This creates a 960-1000 mm usable window for fine-tuning end positions at commissioning without swapping out the entire cylinder.
