The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX425-100S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 425mm 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 SAIJ160X425-100-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, enabling a usable travel window of 325 to 425 mm. It delivers substantial thrust, providing 14074N push force at 0.7 MPa and peaking at 18095N at 0.9 MPa. The barrel is extruded aluminum with sensor grooves on both sides, and this unit includes a magnet for position sensing.
This specific configuration features a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance and utilizes PT tapered port threads. The rear adjuster allows you to fine-tune the end position at commissioning or during product changeover without swapping the cylinder or adding external stops. Note that the adjuster acts as a travel stop and does not hold the load without live air pressure.

Dial in the exact 325-425 mm end position during heavy press commissioning without machining new external stoppers.
Adjust the retract stop on packaging conveyors to handle different product lengths rapidly during line changeovers.
Set precise variable end-stops for large robotic assembly cells requiring high 18095N push force and flexible travel.
Choose this 160 mm bore when the 100 mm bore (7068N push at 0.9 MPa) is insufficient and you need heavy thrust capacity. The adjustable 325-425 mm travel window is ideal for variable end-stops or machine setup changes, whereas a fixed SAI cylinder locks you to one exact dimension. Because the stroke is 425 mm, the 40 mm rod and M36x2 thread carry significant side-load capacity, but an external guide is still recommended for long unsupported strokes.
For load-holding without continuous live air, this cylinder is not a lock; the rear adjuster and air cushions only set travel ends. You would need an external rod lock or a related type like SAIL or BSAI for fail-safe holding. This SAIJ model is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 and uses a reduced mounting set: Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2 (omitting FB, CA, CB, CR).
Quick checklist
At 0.9 MPa it provides 18095N of push force and 9425N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa it delivers 14074N push force.
The rear adjuster screw lets you trim the effective travel back by up to 100 mm from the 425 mm nominal stroke, creating a 325-425 mm usable window. It acts as a mechanical stop, not a lock.
