The AirTAC SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX250-10S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 250mm 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.
The AirTAC SAIJ160X250-10-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear mechanical adjuster, allowing you to dial back the stroke by up to 10 mm. This yields a precise 240-250 mm usable travel window, ideal for fine-tuning end positions during commissioning without adding external stops. It delivers substantial thrust, pushing 14074 N and pulling 9425 N at 0.7 MPa.
Built with a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance and a PT tapered port thread, this 160 mm bore actuator runs at 30-500 mm/s. The extruded aluminum barrel features sensor grooves on both sides, and the integrated -S magnet interfaces directly with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic solid-state switches for exact position feedback.

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 240-250 mm end position during machine commissioning to prevent over-travel on heavy pressing tasks without external stopper blocks.
Quickly adjust the retract stop by up to 10 mm on automated lines when switching to a slightly shorter product variant, minimizing downtime.
The 10 mm rear adjustment screw is invaluable for product changeovers, letting you shift the retract end-stop on the fly instead of physically swapping the cylinder. For any application needing 250 mm of travel or more, always pair the cylinder with an external guide to handle side loads, as the M36x2 rod thread alone cannot support off-center loads.
When specifying an ISO 15552 replacement, match the 160 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, PT ports, and the -S magnet requirement. Remember that the rear adjuster functions strictly as a travel stop and the air cushions only manage deceleration; neither will hold a load without live air pressure. If your setup requires true load-holding on air loss, utilize an external rod lock or select the AirTAC SAIL or BSAI series instead. Mounting options are limited to Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.
Quick checklist
The rear mechanical adjuster acts as a stopper that can shorten the nominal 250 mm stroke by up to 10 mm, creating a 240-250 mm usable travel window. It is a travel stop for fine-tuning end positions, not a lock, and cannot hold the load without continuous air pressure.
