About the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX400-20
The AirTAC SAIJ160X400-20 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that allows you to fine-tune the effective travel down to a 380-400 mm window. Delivering 18095 N of pull force at 0.9 MPa, it handles heavy-duty positioning tasks with precision.
Equipped with a SUS304 stainless steel rod and PT tapered port threads, this unit omits the FB, CA, CB, and CR mounting options, supporting only the Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 interface set. The rear adjuster acts strictly as a travel stop for commissioning, not a load lock.

Where the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX400-20 Is Used
Heavy Press Setup
Dial in the exact 380-400 mm end position during heavy press commissioning without adding external mechanical stops.
Variable Product Stops
Adapt the retract end-stop on the fly when changing product sizes on a high-thrust packaging line.
Large Machine Changeover
Fine-tune the stroke window during format changeovers on large machinery to avoid recalculating fixed cylinder lengths.
Is the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX400-20 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 160 mm bore when the 100 mm class (offering 7068 N push at 0.9 MPa) is insufficient for your dynamic load. The 20 mm adjustment range is ideal for dialing in exact end positions during machine setup or product changeover without swapping cylinders. For strokes of 400 mm, the 40 mm diameter rod handles high side loads, but an external guide is still recommended to prevent binding.
If your application requires the load to be held in place without live air pressure, note that this adjuster only sets the travel end. You would need to step up to an AirTAC SAIL (pneumatic lock) or BSAI (clamp-lock) cylinder for true load-holding capability. This model is dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 cylinders, matching the 160 mm bore, 400 mm stroke, PT G3/4 port, and standard mounting footprint.
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 SAIJ160BX400-20 FAQ
At 0.9 MPa operating pressure, this 160 mm bore cylinder provides 18095 N of pull force and 14074 N of push force. The maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
The rear adjuster screw lets you shorten the nominal 400 mm stroke by up to 20 mm, creating a usable travel window of 380-400 mm. It functions as a travel stop for end-position tuning and does not lock the load without live air.
