The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX280-10 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 280mm 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 SAIJ160X280-10 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, delivering massive thrust up to 18095N at 0.9 MPa. It features a robust 40mm SUS304 stainless steel rod (code B) and a PT tapered G3/4 port. By turning the rear stopper screw, you achieve a precise 270-280mm usable travel window for exact end-position tuning.
This adjustable-stroke design eliminates the need to swap cylinders or bolt on external stops during machine commissioning. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, and the mounting interface supports Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 brackets. Note that the rear adjuster acts purely as a travel stop and does not hold the load without live air pressure.

Dial in the exact 270-280mm end position during heavy press commissioning without changing the cylinder.
Adjust the retract stop on the fly to accommodate varying product sizes moving down a conveyor line.
Fine-tune the end-of-stroke position during initial machine setup to prevent mechanical interference.
Choose this 160mm bore when a 125mm cylinder (providing 11045N push at 0.9 MPa) lacks the necessary force, but a 200mm bore is physically too large. The 10mm adjustment window is ideal for fine-tuning the retract end during product changeovers rather than using a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder. For load-holding without continuous air supply, integrate an external rod lock or select an AirTAC SAIL or BSAI model.
To match this ISO 15552 interchangeable cylinder, specify: 160mm bore, 280mm stroke, 10mm adjustment, PT G3/4 port, SUS304 rod material, and no magnet. Because the 280mm stroke is substantial, ensure external guiding is used to prevent excessive side-loading on the 40mm rod.
Quick checklist
At 0.9 MPa operating pressure, this 160mm bore cylinder provides a push force of 18095N and a pull force of 9425N. Its maximum allowable operating pressure is 1.0 MPa.
The rear adjuster screw lets you trim the effective stroke within a 270-280mm window. It acts as a mechanical stop to fine-tune the end position, but it is not a lock and cannot hold the load without live air pressure.
