The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX45-20 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 45mm 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 SAIJ160X45-20 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that permits fine-tuning of the retract end position. By turning the external stopper screw, you can trim the nominal 45 mm stroke back by up to 20 mm, creating a precise 25-45 mm usable travel window without adding external stops. Built with a SUS304 stainless steel rod and PT tapered ports, it delivers a robust 14074 N push force at 0.7 MPa.
This adjustable-stroke design is tailored for commissioning flexibility and product-size changeovers. It utilizes a reduced mounting subset of Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR options. The extruded aluminum barrel includes dual sensor grooves, and the standard variable air cushions at both ends ensure smooth deceleration, though the adjuster acts only as a travel stop and not a load-holding lock.

Dial in the exact 25 to 45 mm retract position during product-size changeovers without swapping the cylinder or bolting on external stops.
Leverage the 14074 N push force at 0.7 MPa to securely clamp large workpieces while fine-tuning the exact clamping depth at the rear stopper.
Press components into place with high force and use the 20 mm adjustment window to compensate for material thickness variations on the fly.
Choose this 160 mm bore model when your application requires substantial thrust, such as the 10053 N pull force at 0.5 MPa, but demands exact end-position tuning during setup. If you need less force, stepping down to a 100 mm bore yields 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa, while moving up to a 200 mm bore provides 15708 N. The adjustable 25-45 mm travel window is perfect for variable end stops, whereas a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder is better for repetitive rigid cycles. Since the 45 mm stroke is short, side-loading is minimal, but always guide the load for straightness. For load-holding without live air, select a SAIL or BSAI cylinder, as the SAIJ adjuster is a stop, not a brake. To match this ISO 15552 replacement exactly, specify: 160 mm bore, 45 mm stroke, 20 mm adjustment, PT ports, SUS304 (B) rod, and no magnet.
Quick checklist
The rear adjuster screw lets you shorten the nominal 45 mm stroke by up to 20 mm, providing a usable travel window of 25 to 45 mm. It acts as a mechanical stop to set the exact retract end position during commissioning.
At 0.5 MPa it provides 10053 N of push force and 9425 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 14074 N.
