The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX275-30 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 275mm 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 SAIJ160X275-30 is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It delivers substantial thrust, providing 14074N of push force at 0.7 MPa, making it suitable for heavy-duty positioning tasks. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for flexible switch mounting.
This specific SKU features a 275 mm nominal stroke that can be fine-tuned down by up to 30 mm, yielding a usable travel window of 245-275 mm. Configured with a SUS304 stainless steel rod (code B) and PT tapered ports, it is built for demanding environments. The rear adjuster acts purely as a travel stop for end-position tuning and does not lock the load without live air pressure.

Dial in the exact 245-275 mm end-stop during heavy press commissioning to accommodate material thickness variations without machining new stopper blocks.
Adjust the retract position on the fly when switching between different pallet sizes on a high-thrust conveyor sorting line.
Fine-tune the clamping distance on large machining fixtures, utilizing the 10053N pull force at 0.5 MPa to secure heavy workpieces.
Select this 160 mm bore cylinder when an application requires high force combined with on-the-fly end-position tuning; stepping down to a 125 mm bore drops the 0.7 MPa push force to 8590N, while moving up to 200 mm increases it to 21991N. The adjustable 245-275 mm window is ideal for product-size changeovers on a line, allowing you to dial in the exact retract distance without swapping the cylinder or adding external stops. Because the stroke is 275 mm, an external guide should be used to support the load and mitigate side-load on the rod. For load-holding without live pressure, pair this cylinder with an external rod lock or look to the SAIL or BSAI series.
To match this ISO 15552 dimensionally interchangeable cylinder for replacement, confirm the 160 mm bore, 275 mm stroke, 30 mm adjustment range, PT port thread, and the SUS304 stainless steel rod material. Note that SAIJ supports a specific mounting subset: Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR brackets.
Quick checklist
At an operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, this 160 mm bore cylinder provides a push force of 14074N and a pull force of 13234N. At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 10053N.
The rear adjuster screw allows you to shorten the effective stroke by up to 30 mm, creating a usable travel window of 245-275 mm from the 275 mm nominal stroke. It functions as a mechanical stop for position tuning and requires live air to hold the load.
