About the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX160-50
The AirTAC SAIJ160X160-50 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster. It provides a usable travel window of 110 to 160 mm, allowing you to dial back the nominal 160 mm stroke by up to 50 mm during commissioning.
This specific configuration uses a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance and includes PT tapered port threads. The extruded aluminum barrel incorporates sensor grooves on both sides for flexible switch mounting. Remember that the rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop to set the retract end-position; it does not 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 SAIJ160BX160-50 Is Used
Press Tuning
Fine-tune the exact bottoming position of a heavy press during initial commissioning, trimming up to 50 mm off the stroke to perfect the crush distance.
Product Changeover
Rapidly adapt a packaging line for different carton sizes by adjusting the retract end-stop at the rear of the cylinder rather than swapping out physical hardware.
Is the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX160-50 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 160 mm bore cylinder when an application demands high thrust—18095 N at 0.9 MPa—and the ability to fine-tune the end-of-stroke position without adding external stoppers. If your force requirements are lower, stepping down to a 125 mm bore yields 11045 N at the same pressure, saving physical space. Conversely, moving up to a 200 mm bore provides 28274 N for heavier loads.
Because this is an adjustable-stroke SAIJ model, it is ideal for machine setups requiring variable end-stops or quick product changeovers, unlike a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder. When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 160 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, 50 mm adjustment range, PT G3/4 port, and standard mounting interface. Since the stroke is 160 mm, side-load risks are moderate, but always ensure adequate guiding for long unsupported loads. For applications requiring true load-holding without live air, select the SAIL or BSAI series instead.
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 SAIJ160BX160-50 FAQ
The maximum thrust is 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop that lets you shorten the effective travel from the nominal 160 mm down to 110 mm. This creates a 110-160 mm adjustable window for fine-tuning the retract end-position without replacing the cylinder.
