The AirTAC SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX180-75S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 180mm 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.
Its built-in 75mm adjustment screw allows you to fine-tune the effective travel anywhere within a 105-180mm window. This eliminates the need to physically swap cylinders or bolt on external stops during machine commissioning or product changeovers.
This specific configuration features a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance and includes a magnet for position sensing. The rear stopper acts purely as a travel end-limit and works alongside the standard 50mm air cushions to decelerate the load, but it does not hold the load without continuous live air. For secure load-holding without pneumatic pressure, an external rod lock or a related AirTAC SAIL locking cylinder is required.

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 105-180mm end-position during press setup to accommodate different material thicknesses without changing the cylinder.
Quickly adjust the retract stop on a packaging line to handle varying product sizes, leveraging the 75mm trim range for rapid format changes.
If your setup requires less force, stepping down to a 125mm bore yields 8590N at 0.5 MPa, whereas moving up to a 200mm bore provides 21991N at 0.7 MPa. The SAIJ series is chosen over a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder when a precise, adjustable end-stop is needed to dial in the exact retract position on the fly.
This SKU features PT tapered ports and a -S magnet compatible with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors. It supports a reduced mounting set of Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR. Because the 180mm stroke is relatively short for this large bore, side-load risks are minimal, but an external guide remains recommended for heavy off-center loads.
Quick checklist
The rear adjusting screw acts as a mechanical stopper that lets you shorten the nominal 180mm stroke by up to 75mm, creating a usable travel window of 105-180mm. It sets the end position and works with the air cushion to decelerate the load, but it is not a lock and will not hold the load without live air pressure.
At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 14074N.
