The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX210-50 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 210mm stroke, G3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its standardized mounting interface makes it a drop-in replacement for other ISO 15552 cylinders in automation lines.
The AirTAC SAIJ160X210-50 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster that creates a 160-210 mm usable travel window. Delivering 10053 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, it handles heavy-duty positioning with precision. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for straightforward detection integration.
This specific SKU is built with a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance and utilizes PT tapered ports. The rear adjustment screw allows you to dial in the exact end-of-stroke position during commissioning or product changeovers without swapping out the entire cylinder or adding bulky external stops. It operates efficiently at speeds of 30-500 mm/s.

Dial in the exact 160-210 mm end position during machine setup to accommodate varying material thicknesses without reinstalling the actuator.
Adjust the rear stopper on the fly to handle different pallet sizes on a packaging line, ensuring precise halting at the processing station.
Leverage the 50 mm adjustment window to quickly change over tooling end-stops for different product variants, minimizing downtime.
Choose this 160 mm bore when an 80 mm bore (providing 2268 N pull at 0.5 MPa) lacks the necessary thrust for heavy loads, but a 200 mm bore (15080 N pull) would be physically oversized. The 50 mm adjustment range is ideal for machinery requiring frequent product size changeovers, allowing operators to reposition the end stop in minutes. For any stroke near or exceeding 300 mm, adding an external guide is recommended to manage side-load stresses.
When specifying a replacement, ensure you match the 160 mm bore, 210 mm nominal stroke, 50 mm adjustment range, PT port threads, and the SUS304 rod material. Remember that the rear adjuster functions strictly as a travel stop and does not hold the load without live air pressure; for true fail-safe load holding without continuous air, consider the AirTAC SAIL or BSAI series. This cylinder supports the SAIJ mounting subset: Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 160 mm bore cylinder provides 10053 N of pull force and 14074 N of push force at 0.7 MPa. The maximum operating pressure is 1.0 MPa.
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop that lets you shorten the effective travel from the 210 mm nominal stroke down to as little as 160 mm. This allows fine-tuning of the end position during commissioning without needing live air to hold the load, though it is not a locking device.
