About the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX500-10
The AirTAC SAIJ160X500-10 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, allowing you to fine-tune the effective travel to a precise 490-500 mm window. Delivering immense thrust, it generates 10053 N push and 9425 N pull force at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to 18095 N at 0.9 MPa. This model features a robust 40 mm SUS304 stainless steel rod and a G3/4 PT tapered port.
The 10 mm adjustment screw lets you dial in the retract end-position at commissioning without swapping the cylinder or adding external stops. Because this is a profile cylinder, the extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides. Mounting options are limited to the SAIJ subset: Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR.

Where the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX500-10 Is Used
Heavy Machinery Setup
Fine-tunes the 490-500 mm retract end-stop during heavy equipment commissioning without machining new external stopper blocks.
Product Line Changeover
Allows operators to quickly dial in a 10 mm variance on a 500 mm stroke when adapting the line for different sized parts.
Large Press Positioning
Provides exact bottom-dead-center positioning for large pressing operations using the rear stopper, ensuring repeatable results.
Is the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX500-10 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 160 mm bore when an 80 mm cylinder (providing 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa) lacks the power for heavy loads, but you want to avoid stepping up to a massive 200 mm unit. The adjustable stroke is ideal for machine setups requiring exact end-stop tuning during product changeovers. To match this cylinder for an ISO 15552 replacement, verify the 500 mm stroke, 10 mm adjustment, G3/4 PT port, and the SUS304 rod material.
At 500 mm of travel, the 40 mm rod handles significant side loads, but an external guide is still recommended to prevent binding. Note that the rear adjuster acts only as a travel stop and does not hold the load without live air; for true load-holding without pressure, consider an AirTAC SAIL or BSAI cylinder.
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 SAIJ160BX500-10 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 160 mm bore cylinder provides 10053 N of push force and 9425 N of pull force. At 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 18095 N.
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop, allowing you to shorten the effective travel from 500 mm down to 490 mm. It sets the end position but does not lock the load without continuous air pressure.
