About the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX160-30
The AirTAC SAIJ160X160-30 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, allowing you to dial back the nominal 160 mm travel by up to 30 mm. This creates a precise 130-160 mm usable window for fine-tuning the retract end position during commissioning without swapping hardware.
Built with a SUS304 stainless steel rod (code B) for superior corrosion resistance, this extruded aluminum barrel design includes sensor grooves on both sides. The rear stopper screw acts purely as a travel end deceleration device and does not hold the load without live air pressure. Mounting options are limited to the SAIJ subset: Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR.

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 SAIJ160BX160-30 Is Used
Heavy Press Fine-Tuning
Dial in the exact 130-160 mm clamping depth on heavy metalworking presses during tooling setup, ensuring precise deformation without adding external mechanical stops.
Product Size Changeover
Adapt automated packaging lines to different carton sizes by adjusting the cylinder's retract stroke end point on the fly, minimizing downtime between production runs.
Variable End-Stop Positioning
Establish a customizable travel limit for heavy-load assembly stations, allowing operators to fine-tune the end position to match component tolerances perfectly.
Is the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX160-30 the Right Cylinder?
If you need slightly less force, stepping down to the 125 mm bore yields 8590 N at the same pressure. The adjustable stroke is ideal for machine setups requiring variable end stops or product-size changeovers, offering flexibility that a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder cannot match. To hold a load safely without continuous air pressure, you must integrate an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve, as the SAIJ adjuster is a stop, not a lock. For position sensing, adding a magnet (-S) allows the use of AirTAC CMSE reed or DMSE electronic solid-state sensors.

- ✓ 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 SAIJ160BX160-30 FAQ
The rear adjuster screw allows you to shorten the effective travel from the nominal 160 mm down to as little as 130 mm. This provides a 130-160 mm adjustable window for fine-tuning the end position at commissioning without changing the cylinder.
