About the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX270-50
The AirTAC SAIJ160X270-50 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, enabling a usable travel window of 220 to 270 mm. This built-in stopper allows you to fine-tune the retract end position at commissioning without adding external stops or swapping the unit out. It features a SUS304 stainless steel rod and PT tapered port threads.
The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for flexible mounting of reed or solid-state switches. Remember that the rear adjuster acts only as a travel stop to set deceleration endpoints; it 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 SAIJ160BX270-50 Is Used
Heavy Press Tuning
Dial in the exact 220-270 mm retract stop during machine commissioning to set precise pressing depths on heavy assemblies without external shims.
Product Changeover
Quickly adjust the end-of-stroke position on a packaging line when switching to a different sized product, using the 50 mm rear adjustment window.
Is the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX270-50 the Right Cylinder?
The adjustable stroke is ideal for product changeovers on a line, letting you dial in the exact 220-270 mm travel window on the fly instead of installing a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder. To match this ISO 15552 interchangeable cylinder, specify the 160 mm bore, 270 mm stroke, 50 mm adjustment, PT G3/4 port, and your required mounting from the reduced SAIJ set: Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2.
Because the 270 mm stroke is substantial, the 40 mm rod diameter handles high side loads, but an external guide rail is still recommended for heavy unsupported loads. If your machine requires true load-holding without continuous live air, the rear adjuster will not act as a brake; you should instead look at the SAIL air-released lock or BSAI clamp-lock variants.
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 SAIJ160BX270-50 FAQ
At 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 18095 N.
The rear external adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop, allowing you to shorten the effective travel from the 270 mm nominal stroke down to 220 mm. This creates a 220-270 mm adjustable window for fine-tuning end positions without replacing the cylinder.
