About the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX280-10S
The AirTAC SAIJ160X280-10-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that allows you to fine-tune the retract end position. With a nominal 280 mm stroke and a 10 mm adjustment screw, it provides a usable travel window of 270-280 mm. This bore size delivers substantial thrust, generating 14074 N of push force at 0.7 MPa, making it well-suited for heavy-duty positioning tasks.
This variant includes a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance and uses PT tapered port threads. It is equipped with a magnet for position sensing, working seamlessly with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic solid-state switches mounted in the dual-side sensor grooves. The extruded aluminum barrel maintains standard ISO 15552 mounting dimensions without relying on external tie-rods.

Where the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX280-10S Is Used
Heavy-Duty Press Tuning
Dial in the exact 270-280 mm travel window during press setup to accommodate different material thicknesses without machining new stopper blocks.
Product Diversion Changeover
Adjust the retract end position on the fly to handle varying package sizes on a conveyor line, ensuring precise routing without cylinder removal.
Automated Assembly Stations
Fine-tune the end-of-stroke position during commissioning to align heavy components perfectly, relying on the 14074 N push force at 0.7 MPa.
Is the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX280-10S the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 160 mm bore cylinder when an application requires high force, such as 14074 N at 0.7 MPa, combined with precise end-position tuning. If your load demands less thrust, stepping down to the 125 mm bore yields 8590 N at 0.7 MPa, whereas moving up to the 200 mm bore provides 21991 N at 0.7 MPa. The adjustable stroke is ideal for machine setup and product changeover, allowing you to dial in the exact 270-280 mm travel window without swapping out the cylinder or adding external stops.
When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 160 mm bore, 280 mm stroke, 10 mm adjustment range, PT G3/4 port, and the -S magnet requirement. The SAIJ mounting set includes Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 options, omitting the FB, CA, CB, and CR styles. Because the stroke is 280 mm, long unsupported loads should use an external guide to prevent side-loading damage to the rod. Note that the rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock; the SAIJ does not hold position without live air, so for load-holding without pressure, consider an external rod lock or the AirTAC SAIL or BSAI series.
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 SAIJ160BX280-10S FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, this 160 mm bore cylinder generates 14074 N of push force and 9425 N of pull force. It can achieve a maximum push force of 18095 N at 0.9 MPa.
The rear adjuster screw acts as an external stopper that lets you shorten the nominal 280 mm stroke by up to 10 mm, creating a 270-280 mm usable travel window. It is a travel stop for end-position tuning, not a lock, and does not hold the load without continuous air pressure.
