About the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX260-40
The AirTAC SAIJ160X260-40 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, delivering robust performance for heavy-duty pneumatics. It features a 260 mm nominal stroke that can be fine-tuned down by up to 40 mm, providing a usable travel window between 220 and 260 mm. Utilizing a PT tapered port thread and a durable SUS304 stainless steel rod, this model is built to withstand demanding environments while maintaining the standard ISO 15552 mounting interface.
The extruded aluminum barrel incorporates sensor grooves on both sides for flexible positioning of CMSE or DMSE switches, though this specific SKU is supplied without a magnet. The rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop to set the retraction end-point and does not hold the load without live air pressure.

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 SAIJ160BX260-40 Is Used
Heavy Press Tuning
Dial in the exact 220-260 mm end-position during press setup to accommodate varying material thicknesses without changing the cylinder.
Product Changeover
Quickly adjust the retraction stop on a packaging line to handle different carton sizes, leveraging the 40 mm trim range for rapid format changes.
Is the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX260-40 the Right Cylinder?
The adjustable 220-260 mm travel window is perfect for commissioning fine-tuning or accommodating product changeovers without physically swapping the cylinder or adding external stops. For load-holding requirements without continuous air pressure, an external rod lock or a dedicated SAIL cylinder is necessary, as the SAIJ adjuster is strictly a travel stop. Because the total stroke reaches 260 mm, ensure adequate external guiding to prevent excessive side-loading on the rod.
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 SAIJ160BX260-40 FAQ
The operational speed range for this cylinder is 30-500 mm/s.
The rear mechanical stopper allows you to shorten the 260 mm nominal stroke by up to 40 mm, creating an adjustable travel window of 220 to 260 mm. It functions only as an end-position stop and does not lock the load without air pressure.
