About the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX290-10
The AirTAC SAIJ160X290-10 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, delivering a 280-290 mm usable travel window from its 290 mm nominal stroke. This built-in stopper allows you to fine-tune the retract end position during commissioning without adding external stops. It delivers substantial thrust, providing 14074 N of push force at 0.7 MPa.
This specific configuration features a SUS304 stainless steel rod (material code B) for superior corrosion resistance, a PT tapered port thread, and operates without a magnet. As an extruded aluminum profile cylinder, it includes sensor grooves on both sides. The rear adjuster acts purely as a travel stop to set deceleration, meaning it will not hold a load without live air pressure.

Where the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX290-10 Is Used
Heavy Press Fitments
Dial in the exact 280-290 mm retract depth for heavy pressing operations, ensuring precise contact without overtravel.
Product Changeovers
Quickly adjust the rear stopper by up to 10 mm during production line changeovers to accommodate different product heights.
Robotic Material Handling
Provides the high force needed to push heavy pallets while allowing technicians to fine-tune the end stop during machine setup.
Is the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX290-10 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 160 mm bore cylinder when an application requires heavy thrust—such as the 14074 N push force at 0.7 MPa—combined with exact end-position tuning. If your setup needs less force, stepping down to a 125 mm bore yields 8590 N at 0.7 MPa. The 10 mm adjustment window is ideal for dialing in precise retract distances during product changeovers. Because the nominal stroke is 290 mm, an external guide is recommended to manage side loads on the unsupported rod.
For an exact ISO 15552 replacement, match the 160 mm bore, 290 mm stroke, 10 mm adjustment, PT port thread, and SUS304 rod material. Note that a plain SAIJ does not hold position without live air; for load-holding requirements, consider an AirTAC SAIL or BSAI cylinder instead. This model uses a reduced mounting set: Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.
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 SAIJ160BX290-10 FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, this 160 mm bore cylinder provides a push force of 14074 N and a pull force of 9425 N. It can deliver a maximum push force of 18095 N at 0.9 MPa.
The rear adjuster acts as a mechanical stop that lets you trim the effective stroke back by up to 10 mm, creating a 280-290 mm travel window. It sets the end position but does not lock the load without continuous air pressure.
