About the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX290-10S
The AirTAC SAIJ160X290-10-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster. It provides a 9425N pull force at 0.5 MPa and a usable travel window of 280-290mm, letting you fine-tune the retract end-position by up to 10mm without adding external stops. This 160mm bore generates 14074N of push force at 0.7 MPa, making it suited for heavy-duty positioning.
This variant uses a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance and includes a magnet for CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors. The extruded aluminum barrel integrates sensor grooves on three sides. It uses PT tapered ports and supports a mounting subset of Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.

Where the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX290-10S Is Used
Heavy Press Tuning
Dial in the exact 280-290mm retraction distance during machine setup to accommodate varying material thicknesses without changing hardware.
Product Changeover Stops
Adjust the end-stop position on packaging lines when switching box sizes, using the rear screw rather than repositioning physical hard stops.
Heavy Assembly Positioning
Leverage the 14074N push force at 0.7 MPa to move heavy pallets, fine-tuning the final landing position to within a 10mm window.
Is the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX290-10S the Right Cylinder?
Choose this adjustable-stroke model when your application requires exact end-position tuning during commissioning or product changeovers, avoiding the need to swap out a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder. If you need slightly less force, stepping down to a 125mm bore yields 5734N of pull at 0.5 MPa. For this 290mm stroke, an external guide is recommended to manage side-load risks on the 40mm rod.
The rear adjuster acts strictly as a travel stop and does not hold the load without live air pressure; for fail-safe load holding, consider an external rod lock or the SAIL series. To match this ISO 15552 dimensionally interchangeable cylinder, specify: 160mm bore, 290mm stroke, 10mm adjustment, PT G3/4 ports, SUS304 rod, and a -S magnet.

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 SAIJ160BX290-10S FAQ
The rear adjuster screw lets you shorten the effective stroke by up to 10mm, creating a 280-290mm usable travel window. It acts as a mechanical stop to set the retract end-position and is not a lock, meaning it cannot hold the load without continuous air pressure.
At 0.5 MPa, this 160mm bore cylinder provides 10053N of push force and 9425N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 14074N, with a maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa.
