About the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX160-100
The AirTAC SAIJ160X160-100 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster. It provides a usable travel window of 60 to 160 mm, allowing you to dial back the nominal 160 mm stroke by up to 100 mm during machine commissioning.
This variant features a SUS304 stainless steel rod for corrosion resistance and uses PT tapered port threads. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for flexible mounting of CMSE reed or DMSE electronic switches. The rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop to set the end position; it does not lock or hold the load without continuous air pressure.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø160mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 9425 N | 9425 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 13195 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 1922 kgf | |
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.

Where the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX160-100 Is Used
Variable Stroke Positioning
Dial in the exact retraction point between 60 and 160 mm during setup, perfect for testing different end-stop distances without changing the cylinder.
Product Line Changeover
Quickly adapt the cylinder's effective stroke on the fly when switching product sizes on a heavy-duty conveyor or press line.
Is the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX160-100 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 160 mm bore when an application requires high force (9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa) combined with a highly variable end-stop. The 100 mm adjustment range is ideal for product changeovers on a line where the exact retraction distance frequently shifts. If your force requirements are lower, stepping down to a 125 mm bore yields 5734 N of pull force at the same pressure. Conversely, moving up to a 200 mm bore provides 15080 N of pull force.
Because the 160 mm stroke is relatively short for this large bore, side-load risks are minimal, but an external guide is still recommended for optimal bearing life. The SAIJ mounting set includes Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, omitting the FB, CA, CB, and CR options found on other series. For applications requiring the load to be held mechanically without live air, consider the SAIL pneumatic lock or BSAI clamp-lock cylinders instead of relying on this adjuster.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — consider a guided cylinder
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (FA/FB/CA/CB/LB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX160-100 FAQ
The maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
The rear adjuster acts as a mechanical stop that lets you trim the effective stroke back by up to 100 mm from the nominal 160 mm, creating a usable travel window of 60 to 160 mm. It sets the end position but does not hold the load without live air pressure.
