About the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX180-40S
The AirTAC SAIJ160X180-40-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, allowing you to fine-tune the retract end-position by up to 40 mm. This yields a usable travel window of 140 to 180 mm, letting you dial in the exact end-stop at commissioning without adding external physical stops. It delivers a robust 10053 N pull force at 0.5 MPa and features a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance.
This unit includes a magnet for position sensing, working seamlessly with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors. It uses a PT tapered G3/4 port and omits heavy tie-rod construction in favor of an extruded aluminum barrel with dual sensor grooves. The rear adjuster acts purely as a travel stop to set deceleration, meaning it will not hold the load 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 SAIJ160BX180-40S Is Used
Machine Setup & Changeover
Dial in the 140 to 180 mm travel window during line changeovers to accommodate different product sizes without swapping out the entire cylinder.
Variable End-Stop Positioning
Use the rear adjuster to set precise retract positions on heavy machinery, tuning the end-of-stroke on the fly without installing external mechanical stops.
Corrosive Environment Actuation
Leverage the SUS304 stainless steel rod for high-force pushing and pulling tasks in environments where standard carbon steel rods would fail.
Is the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX180-40S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 160 mm bore model is appropriate when your application requires high thrust, specifically a 10053 N pull force at 0.5 MPa, which is a notable step up from the 6136 N offered by the 125 mm bore. An adjustable stroke is chosen over a fixed SAI cylinder when you need variable end-stops for machine setup or product changeovers. For load-holding without continuous air pressure, this cylinder is insufficient as the adjuster is not a brake; you should look at the SAIL or BSAI series instead.
Because the 180 mm stroke is under the 300 mm threshold, side-load risks are moderate, but the substantial 40 mm rod and M36x2 thread handle higher off-center loads well. When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 160 mm bore, 180 mm nominal stroke, 40 mm adjustment range, G3/4 PT ports, and the -S magnet requirement. SAIJ supports a reduced mounting set of Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR brackets.

- ✓ 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 SAIJ160BX180-40S FAQ
The maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
The rear adjuster allows you to shorten the 180 mm nominal stroke by up to 40 mm, providing a usable travel window of 140 to 180 mm. It functions as a travel stop to tune the end position and does not lock the load without live air pressure.
