About the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX170-100S
The AirTAC SAIJ160X170-100-S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. The integrated -100 adjustment code allows you to dial back the 170 mm nominal stroke, creating a precise 70-170 mm usable travel window for highly flexible end-position tuning.
This specific configuration includes a SUS304 stainless steel rod (material code B) for superior corrosion resistance and features a built-in magnet (-S) that operates seamlessly with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors. The extruded aluminum barrel incorporates sensor grooves on both sides, and the rear adjuster functions strictly as a travel stop to decelerate the load, not as a lock to hold it without live 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 SAIJ160BX170-100S Is Used
Heavy Press Tuning
Dial in the exact 70-170 mm end-position during machine commissioning to prevent over-travel on heavy pressing tasks without adding external stop blocks.
Product Size Changeover
Quickly adjust the stroke window on packaging lines when transitioning between different product dimensions, leveraging the 100 mm trim range.
Corrosive Assembly Lines
Utilize the SUS304 stainless steel rod in humid or washdown assembly environments where standard carbon steel rods would degrade.
Is the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX170-100S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 160 mm bore cylinder is ideal when an application requires heavy thrust but variable end-stops, avoiding the need to physically swap cylinders during product changeovers. Because this model features a 170 mm stroke, which is well under the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke, it avoids made-to-order lead times.
When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 160 mm bore, 170 mm stroke, PT tapered port thread, and the -S magnet requirement. The SAIJ mounting set includes Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 options, deliberately omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR. For any load-holding requirements without continuous live air, this cylinder's adjuster is insufficient; you must integrate an external pilot-operated check valve or select an AirTAC SAIL or BSAI locking cylinder.
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 SAIJ160BX170-100S FAQ
The rear adjuster acts as an external stopper that allows you to shorten the 170 mm nominal stroke by up to 100 mm, providing a usable travel window of 70-170 mm. It only sets the travel end and does not lock the load without live air.
