The AirTAC SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX175-50 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 175mm 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 SAIJ160X175-50 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that permits up to 50 mm of travel reduction. This yields a usable working window of 125 to 175 mm, enabling precise end-position calibration during commissioning without swapping the unit.
This variant incorporates a SUS304 stainless steel rod (option B) for superior corrosion resistance and operates within a 30 to 500 mm/s speed range. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for flexible switch mounting. It uses PT tapered port threads and relies on adjustable air cushions at both ends to decelerate the payload smoothly.

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 125 to 175 mm travel window during machine setup to accommodate varying material thicknesses without changing the cylinder.
Quickly adjust the retract end-stop on a packaging line to handle different carton sizes, leveraging the 50 mm trim range for rapid format transitions.
Utilize the SUS304 stainless steel rod in humid or washdown manufacturing environments where standard carbon steel rods would degrade.
If the force requirement is lower, stepping down to a 125 mm bore provides 6136 N at 0.5 MPa, whereas moving up to a 200 mm bore yields 15708 N. When replacing an existing ISO 15552 cylinder, verify the 160 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, 50 mm adjustment range, PT port threads, and the selected mounting interface.
Because the 175 mm stroke exceeds the 300 mm threshold requiring external guidance, side-loading is less critical here, though the robust 40 mm rod and M36x2 thread handle substantial stresses. Remember that the rear adjuster functions strictly as a mechanical stop to set deceleration and end limits; it does not hold the load without live air pressure. For secure position holding without continuous compressed air, consider an AirTAC SAIL locking cylinder or an external rod lock.
Quick checklist
The rear adjuster acts as a mechanical stopper that allows you to shorten the effective travel by up to 50 mm. This creates a usable stroke window of 125 to 175 mm, which can be fine-tuned during commissioning without adding external stops.
At the maximum 1.0 MPa pressure, it can deliver up to 2050 kgf.
