About the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX185-50
The AirTAC SAIJ160X185-50 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that allows you to fine-tune the travel window between 135 and 185 mm without swapping components. Equipped with a SUS304 stainless steel rod, it provides 10053 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, and the PT tapered port threads ensure a tight pneumatic connection.
Because the rear mechanism functions strictly as a travel stop and not a lock, it cannot hold a load without live air pressure. For applications requiring true load-holding, consider the SAIL or BSAI series. This model supports speeds of 30-500 mm/s and uses a reduced mounting set of Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.

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 SAIJ160BX185-50 Is Used
Variable End Stops
Dial in the exact retract distance from 135 to 185 mm during machine commissioning to accommodate varying material thicknesses without external stopper blocks.
Product Changeover
Quickly adapt the stroke length on a packaging line when switching to a different product size, using the rear screw to set the new end position.
Fixture Alignment
Achieve precise clamping positions on large fixtures by micro-adjusting the travel end, leveraging the 10053 N pull force for secure holding.
Is the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX185-50 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 160 mm bore when you need substantial thrust, such as 10053 N pull at 0.5 MPa, combined with on-machine adjustability. If your application requires less force, stepping down to a 125 mm bore yields 5734 N of pull, whereas moving up to a 200 mm bore offers 15080 N. The 50 mm adjustment range is ideal for product changeovers, allowing you to dial in the exact end position without adding external stops.
When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 160 mm bore, 185 mm stroke, PT port threads, and the specified SUS304 rod material. Since the total stroke is 185 mm, an external guide is recommended to manage side loads on the 40 mm rod. Note that this SAIJ variant omits FB, CA, CB, and CR mounts.
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 SAIJ160BX185-50 FAQ
At the maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa, it achieves 2050 kgf.
The rear adjuster acts as a stopper that can trim the nominal 185 mm stroke back by up to 50 mm, creating a usable travel window of 135 to 185 mm. It sets the end position but does not lock the load without live air pressure.
