The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX270-20 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 SAIJ160X270-20 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, delivering massive thrust for heavy-duty automation. Operating at 0.7 MPa, it generates 14074N of push force and 9425N of pull force. A built-in variable air cushion at both ends manages deceleration of large loads across its 30-500 mm/s operating speed range.
This specific SKU features a 20mm adjustment mechanism that allows the effective travel to be fine-tuned within a 250-270mm window during commissioning. Configured with a SUS304 stainless steel rod for corrosion resistance and PT tapered ports, it uses a reduced mounting set (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2) and omits FB, CA, CB, and CR options.

Dial in the exact 250-270mm travel window to ensure precise pressing force on large assemblies without repositioning the entire fixture.
Fine-tune the retract end-stop during initial commissioning to accommodate mechanical tolerances in heavy machinery frames.
Quickly adapt the cylinder's effective stroke on the production line when switching between parts of slightly different heights.
Select this 160mm bore when an application requires substantial force that a 100mm bore (5497N push at 0.7 MPa) cannot provide, but without stepping up to a 200mm unit. The adjustable stroke is ideal for product changeovers where the exact end-of-stroke position varies slightly, eliminating the need to physically swap cylinders or bolt on external stops. For any stroke at or above 300mm, an external guide is recommended to manage side-load stress on the 40mm rod.
When specifying a replacement, verify the 160mm bore, 270mm stroke, 20mm adjustment range, PT port thread, and the correct mounting style. Keep in mind the rear adjuster acts only as a travel stop and does not hold the load without live air; for fail-safe load holding, consider the SAIL or BSAI series instead.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa, this 160mm bore cylinder provides a push force of 14074N and a pull force of 9425N. It can deliver a maximum push force of 18095N at 0.9 MPa.
The rear adjuster screw allows you to shorten the nominal 270mm stroke by up to 20mm, creating a usable travel window of 250-270mm. This stopper only sets the end position and must not be used as a load-holding lock.
