The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX325-40 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 325mm stroke, G3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its standardized mounting interface makes it a drop-in replacement for other ISO 15552 cylinders in automation lines.
The AirTAC SAIJ160X325-40 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, allowing you to dial back the nominal 325 mm travel by up to 40 mm for a precise 285-325 mm usable window. Built with a robust 40 mm SUS304 stainless steel rod and a G3/4 port, it delivers massive thrust up to 18095 N at 0.9 MPa, making it ideal for heavy-duty press operations. The extruded aluminum barrel features dual sensor grooves, though this specific SKU omits the magnet.
Because the stroke extends past 300 mm, the large 40 mm rod diameter is critical for managing side loads, though an external guide remains essential for unsupported lengths. The rear screw acts purely as a travel stop for commissioning flexibility and works in tandem with adjustable air cushions at both ends to decelerate the massive payload smoothly.

Dial in the exact 285-325 mm clamping depth on large metal forming presses during setup, absorbing heavy shocks with the 50 mm air cushion.
Quickly adapt automated heavy machinery to new pallet widths by turning the rear stopper, avoiding the need to physically swap out large cylinders.
Move substantial loads across a 325 mm span, relying on the 40 mm SUS304 rod to resist deflection while benefiting from adjustable end positioning.
Choose this 160 mm bore when an 80 mm cylinder (yielding 4523 N push at 0.5 MPa) lacks the force for heavy clamping, but a 200 mm bore would be physically oversized. The -40 adjustment code is selected over a fixed SAI cylinder when a machine requires fine end-position tuning during product changeovers without swapping hardware. You must specify the PT port thread, SUS304 (code B) rod material, and the absence of a magnet (-S) when matching this to an ISO 15552 footprint.
For any 325 mm stroke, always support the load with an external guide to prevent excessive rod bending. Remember that the rear adjuster is a stop, not a lock; this cylinder cannot hold position without live air, so integrate a SAIL or BSAI cylinder if true load-holding is required.
Quick checklist
At 0.9 MPa operating pressure, this 160 mm bore cylinder generates a push force of 18095 N and a pull force of 14074 N. It achieves a maximum push force of 10053 N at 0.5 MPa.
The rear adjuster screw allows you to shorten the effective travel from the nominal 325 mm down to a minimum of 285 mm. This provides a 40 mm tuning window to set the exact retract end-position during commissioning without needing external stops.
