About the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX220-40
The AirTAC SAIJ160X220-40 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that permits fine-tuning of the retract end-position. With a 220 mm nominal stroke and a 40 mm adjustment range, the usable travel window spans 180 to 220 mm. This bore size delivers substantial thrust, offering 10053 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa and up to 18095 N at 0.9 MPa.
This unit is built with a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance and features PT tapered ports. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for flexible switch mounting. It operates at speeds of 30-500 mm/s and utilizes adjustable air cushions at both ends to decelerate the load smoothly.

Where the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX220-40 Is Used
Variable End Stops
Dial in the exact 180 to 220 mm retract distance during machine setup without machining custom spacers.
Product Changeover
Quickly adapt a line to new product sizes by turning the rear adjuster screw to shift the end position.
High-Force Positioning
Leverage the 10053 N pull force at 0.5 MPa to move heavy assemblies while fine-tuning the final landing spot.
Is the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX220-40 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 160 mm bore when an application requires high force, such as the 14074 N push force at 0.7 MPa. If lower force is acceptable, stepping down to a 125 mm bore yields 8590 N of push force at the same pressure. The adjustable stroke is selected over a fixed SAI cylinder when exact end-position tuning is required during commissioning or product changeover, eliminating the need to swap components or add external stops.
For stroke lengths of 220 mm, the M36x2 rod thread and 40 mm rod diameter provide rigidity, but an external guide should still be used to manage side loads. The rear adjuster acts strictly as a travel stop and does not hold the load without live air pressure; for true load-holding, consider the SAIL or BSAI series. This model is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 and supports mountings Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.
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 SAIJ160BX220-40 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it provides 10053 N pull and 14074 N push force. At 0.9 MPa, the push force reaches 18095 N.
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop that lets you trim the effective stroke back from 220 mm down to 180 mm. It only sets the travel end and does not lock the load without air pressure.
