The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX270-100 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 270mm 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 SAIJ160X270-100 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster. It provides a usable travel window of 170 to 270 mm, allowing you to dial back the nominal stroke by up to 100 mm during commissioning without adding external stops. The 160 mm bore delivers substantial force, generating 14074 N of push thrust at 0.7 MPa.
This variant features a SUS304 stainless steel rod (code B) for superior corrosion resistance and uses PT tapered port threads. The extruded aluminum barrel incorporates sensor grooves on both sides for straightforward position detection. The rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop to fine-tune the end position; it does not hold the load without live air pressure.

Dial in the exact 170 to 270 mm end-stop during product family changeovers without swapping out the entire cylinder or adding external shims.
Leverage the 14074 N push force at 0.7 MPa to move heavy structural components into precise final alignment before fastening.
Adjust the retract distance on the fly to accommodate different package sizes or part lengths moving through a high-force production cell.
Choose this 160 mm bore if your application requires heavy thrust beyond the 100 mm bore (5497 N at 0.7 MPa) but less than the massive 200 mm class (21991 N). The adjustable stroke is ideal for product-size changeovers on a line, where a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder would require physical shimming. If you need to hold a load vertically without continuous air pressure, select the SAIL (air-released lock) or BSAI (clamp-lock) instead, as the SAIJ adjuster is only a travel stop. When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 160 mm bore, 270 mm stroke, 100 mm adjustment, PT G3/4 port, and the reduced SAIJ mounting set (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2). Because the stroke is under 300 mm, side-load risks are moderate, but the robust 40 mm rod and M36x2 thread handle typical stresses well.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the 160 mm bore generates 14074 N of push thrust and 9425 N of pull thrust. At 0.5 MPa, it provides 10053 N push and 9425 N pull.
The rear adjuster allows you to mechanically shorten the effective stroke from 270 mm down to 170 mm. This creates a 170-270 mm travel window for fine-tuning the retract end position at commissioning, without needing to replace the cylinder.
