About the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX280-40
The AirTAC SAIJ160X280-40 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear mechanical stroke adjuster. It provides a 240-280 mm usable travel window, allowing you to dial back the 280 mm nominal stroke by up to 40 mm during commissioning without adding external stops.
This extruded aluminum profile cylinder includes variable air cushions at both ends to decelerate heavy loads safely. The rear adjuster acts only as a travel stop and does not hold the load without live air pressure. It operates at 30-500 mm/s and uses a PT G3/4 port.

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.

Is the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX280-40 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this adjustable-stroke SAIJ over a fixed SAI when a 240-280 mm travel window is required; otherwise, a fixed stroke is simpler.
Because the 280 mm stroke exceeds 300 mm? No, but heavy moving masses still require an external guide to prevent side-load damage. To replace an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 160 mm bore, 280 mm stroke, 40 mm adjust, PT G3/4 port, and desired mounting. Note that SAIJ omits FB, CA, CB, and CR mounts, offering only Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. For load-holding without live air, use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve, as the adjuster is not a brake.
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 SAIJ160BX280-40 FAQ
The rear adjusting screw lets you shorten the 280 mm nominal stroke by up to 40 mm, creating a 240-280 mm usable travel window. The adjuster is a mechanical stop, not a lock, so it cannot hold the load without continuous air pressure.
