About the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX220-30S
The AirTAC SAIJ160X220-30-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that allows you to fine-tune the effective travel down from the 220 mm nominal stroke to a 190 mm minimum, creating a 190-220 mm usable window. It delivers massive thrust, pushing with 18095 N and pulling with 9425 N at 0.9 MPa. This bore uses a robust 40 mm piston rod with an M36x2 thread, providing high rigidity against side loads.
This variant includes a magnetic piston for position sensing with CMSE reed or DMSE solid-state switches. It features a SUS304 stainless steel rod for corrosion resistance and uses PT tapered ports. The extruded aluminum barrel retains standard ISO 15552 mounting dimensions, but the SAIJ series utilizes a reduced mounting set: Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.

Where the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX220-30S Is Used
Heavy Press Tuning
Dial in the exact 190-220 mm travel window during machine setup to set precise pressing depths for heavy assemblies without changing hardware.
Product Changeover
Quickly adjust the rear stopper to accommodate different product sizes on a conveyor line, saving downtime compared to physical cylinder swaps.
Large Mold Handling
Use the 18095 N push force to shift heavy molds into position while fine-tuning the final retracted end-stop to meet strict safety clearances.
Is the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX220-30S the Right Cylinder?
Select this 160 mm bore when an application requires heavy force around 18095 N but also demands exact end-position tuning at commissioning or during product changeover, avoiding the need to swap cylinders or bolt on external stops. If you need slightly less force, stepping down to a 125 mm bore yields 11045 N of push force at 0.9 MPa. The rear adjuster acts solely as a travel stop and does not hold the load without live air pressure; for true pneumatic locking, consider the SAIL or BSAI series. To replace this cylinder, match the 160 mm bore, 220 mm stroke, 30 mm adjustment, PT G3/4 port, and -S magnet.
Because the 220 mm stroke exceeds 300 mm is not the case here, but with long unsupported strokes generally, an external guide is recommended to prevent rod binding. The operating speed for this large bore is 30-500 mm/s, constrained by its 50 mm variable air cushions at both ends.

- ✓ 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 SAIJ160BX220-30S FAQ
The rear adjuster screw lets you shorten the 220 mm nominal stroke by up to 30 mm, providing a 190-220 mm usable travel window. It acts as a mechanical stop to fine-tune the end position at commissioning, but it is not a lock and will not hold the load without live air pressure.
At 0.9 MPa, this double-acting 160 mm bore cylinder provides a push force of 18095 N and a pull force of 9425 N. It is designed for heavy-duty applications within the ISO 15552 mounting interface.
