The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX400-50S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 400mm 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 SAIJ160X400-50-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that allows you to fine-tune the effective travel down from the 400mm nominal stroke to a 350-400mm usable window. It delivers substantial thrust, pushing with 10053N and pulling with 9425N at 0.5 MPa. This bore uses a PT tapered G3/4 port and a robust 40mm piston rod.
Equipped with a SUS304 stainless steel rod (option B) and a -S magnet, this model supports AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors via the dual-side sensor grooves on its extruded aluminum barrel. The rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop for end-position tuning and does not hold the load without live air pressure. For load-holding requirements, consider the SAIL or BSAI series.

Dial the travel back by up to 50mm during commissioning to perfectly strike a workpiece without repositioning the entire cylinder mount.
Quickly adapt a packaging line for different carton lengths by adjusting the rear stopper from 350 to 400mm of travel.
Leverage 10053N of push force at 0.5 MPa for assembly operations, using the rear screw to set precise bottoming depth.
Choose this 160mm bore when an 80mm bore (providing 2513N push at 0.5 MPa) is insufficient, but a massive 200mm bore is unnecessary. The adjustable 350-400mm travel window is ideal for machine setup and product changeover, allowing you to dial in the exact end-stop without swapping cylinders or adding external stops.
When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 160mm bore, 400mm stroke, 50mm adjustment, PT G3/4 port, and -S magnet. Because the stroke is 400mm, the 40mm rod and M36x2 thread provide rigidity, but an external guide is recommended for long unsupported loads to prevent side-load damage. The SAIJ mounting set includes Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 160mm bore cylinder provides 10053N of push force and 9425N of pull force. It can reach up to 18095N push at 0.9 MPa.
The rear adjuster acts as a mechanical stop, allowing you to shorten the nominal 400mm stroke anywhere within a 350-400mm usable window. It is a travel stop, not a lock, and requires live air to hold the load.
