The AirTAC SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX290-50S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 290mm stroke, G3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its standardized mounting interface makes it interchangeable with other ISO 15552 cylinders at the mounting interface.
The AirTAC SAIJ160X290-50-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that trims the nominal 290 mm travel back by up to 50 mm, yielding a usable 240-290 mm end-position window. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for direct CMSE or DMSE switch mounting.
This variant uses a SUS304 stainless steel rod for corrosion resistance and PT tapered port threads. The rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop to fine-tune the retract position during commissioning or product changeover. It is not a lock; the cylinder cannot hold a load without live air pressure, so applications requiring true load-holding should use an external rod lock or a SAIL cylinder.

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.

Dial in the exact 240-290 mm retract position during machine setup to accommodate different metal panel lengths without changing out physical spacers.
Quickly adjust the rear stopper on a multi-model assembly line to switch between component sizes, reducing downtime between production runs.
Leverage the 290 mm travel for large-format material handling, using the adjuster to fine-tune the final resting position for precise placement.
The adjustable 240-290 mm travel window is ideal for machinery that processes multiple product sizes, allowing operators to dial in the exact end-stop without swapping the cylinder or adding external physical stops. To match this exact replacement, specify a 160 mm bore, 290 mm stroke, 50 mm adjustment, PT ports, SUS304 rod, and the -S magnet.
Because the 290 mm stroke creates a long unsupported rod extension, an external guide rail is strongly recommended to prevent excessive side-loading and premature seal wear. The SAIJ mounting set includes Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 options, deliberately omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR brackets.
Quick checklist
It operates between 0.15 and 1.0 MPa, runs at speeds of 30-500 mm/s, and features a 50 mm stroke adjustment range.
The rear adjuster screw lets you shorten the effective travel from 290 mm down to 240 mm. This mechanical stop fine-tunes the end position during commissioning but does not lock the load without continuous air pressure.
