The AirTAC SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX1000-40S 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-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty applications, featuring a robust 40mm diameter SUS304 stainless steel rod. Equipped with a PT tapered G3/4 port, it delivers a substantial 10053N pull force at 0.5 MPa. The integrated -S magnet enables precise position detection using AirTAC CMSE reed or DMSE electronic solid-state sensors housed within the dual-side extruded aluminum barrel grooves.
This model features a rear mechanical stopper that provides a 960 to 1000mm usable travel window, allowing you to trim up to 40mm off the nominal stroke. This fine-tuning capability eliminates the need to swap cylinders during product changeovers. The adjuster strictly functions as a travel stop to set the end position and works alongside the standard 50mm air cushions for deceleration; it does not hold the load without 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.

Dial in the exact 960 to 1000mm end-stop during press commissioning to accommodate varying material thicknesses without machining new external stopper blocks.
Adjust the rear stroke stopper by up to 40mm on the fly to handle different pallet or product sizes moving down a heavy-duty transfer line.
Leverage the 10053N pull force and CMSE/DMSE sensor feedback to position large components accurately, fine-tuning the retract distance during initial machine setup.
Conversely, moving up to a 200mm bore provides 15708N. The adjustable stroke is ideal for commissioning setups where a fixed SAI cylinder would require external stops. Because the nominal stroke is 1000mm, the long unsupported piston rod demands an external guide to prevent excessive side-loading and premature seal wear, despite the sturdy 40mm SUS304 rod.
When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 160mm bore, 1000mm stroke, 40mm adjustment range, PT G3/4 port, and the -S magnet requirement. Mounting options for this SAIJ series include Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. Note that it omits FB, CA, CB, and CR mounts. For applications requiring true load-holding without continuous air pressure, consider the SAIL locking cylinder or BSAI clamp-lock variants, as this rear adjuster cannot secure a load.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 14074N.
The rear adjuster acts as a mechanical stop that allows you to shorten the effective travel from the 1000mm nominal stroke down to 960mm, creating a 960-1000mm usable window. It sets the end position but does not lock the load without live air pressure.
