The AirTAC SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX165-100S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 165mm 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 SAIJ160X165-100-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, delivering massive thrust up to 18095N at 0.9 MPa. It features a robust 40mm SUS304 stainless steel rod and a PT tapered G3/4 port. By integrating an external adjusting screw at the rear, this unit allows you to trim the effective stroke by up to 100mm, creating a highly flexible 65-165mm usable travel window for precise end-position tuning.
This adjustable-stroke design eliminates the need to swap out the entire cylinder or bolt on external stops during machine commissioning or product changeovers. Because it is a profile cylinder with sensor grooves on both sides, the included magnet (-S) directly supports AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic solid-state switches for exact position feedback. The rear screw acts purely as a travel stop to set deceleration, meaning it will not hold a 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.

Dial in the exact 65-165mm pressing depth during machine setup to accommodate different material thicknesses without changing the cylinder.
Rapidly adjust the end-stop position on a packaging line when switching to a new carton size, minimizing production downtime.
Use the 100mm rear screw adjustment to set precise retraction points for heavy-duty automated assembly stations.
The wide 100mm adjustment range is ideal for prototyping or production lines handling varying product sizes, allowing you to dial in the perfect 65-165mm stroke without hardware changes. For any load-holding requirements without live air pressure, this cylinder is insufficient as the adjuster is not a lock; you should instead look at an AirTAC SAIL or BSAI model.
When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 160mm bore, 165mm nominal stroke, 100mm adjustment range, PT G3/4 port, and SUS304 rod material. The SAIJ mounting set includes Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 options, deliberately omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR brackets. With a 165mm stroke, the 40mm rod handles high axial loads well, but long unsupported strokes still require an external guide to prevent side-loading damage.
Quick checklist
It can deliver a maximum force of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The rear adjuster screw allows you to shorten the 165mm nominal stroke by up to 100mm, providing a usable travel window of 65 to 165mm. This stopper fine-tunes the end position but does not lock the load without live air pressure.
