About the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX500-10S
The AirTAC SAIJ160X500-10-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It delivers substantial thrust, pushing 14074N at 0.7 MPa, making it suitable for heavy-duty operations. The integrated -S magnet allows for direct position sensing using AirTAC CMSE reed or DMSE solid-state sensors fitted into the dual-side barrel grooves.
This specific SKU features a 10mm adjustment range, creating a precise 490-500mm usable travel window for fine-tuning end positions during commissioning. It is built with a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance and uses PT tapered port threads. The extruded aluminum profile design omits the FB, CA, CB, and CR mounts, utilizing a reduced set of ISO 15552 mounting interfaces including Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.

Where the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX500-10S Is Used
Heavy Press Fine-Tuning
Dial in the exact 490-500mm end position on a 14074N press without swapping cylinders or adding external mechanical stops during setup.
Corrosive Environment Actuation
Leverage the SUS304 stainless steel rod for reliable heavy-duty positioning in washdown or corrosive manufacturing settings.
Long-Stroke Assembly Line
Adjust the retract end-stop on the fly during product changeover to accommodate different assembly depths on a 500mm stroke machine.
Is the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX500-10S the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 160mm bore when a 100mm bore (providing 5497N push force at 0.7 MPa) is insufficient for your load requirements. The 10mm rear adjuster acts as a travel stop to dial in the exact 490-500mm end position without adding external stops or swapping the cylinder during product changeover. Because the 500mm stroke is significant, the 40mm rod diameter and M36x2 thread provide robust support, but an external guide is still recommended to handle side loads over this long unsupported travel.
Note that the rear adjuster and the variable air cushions only decelerate the load; they do not hold position without live air. For load-holding requirements without continuous pressure, consider the SAIL or BSAI series instead. This cylinder is dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 cylinders and includes a PT port, -S magnet, and the specified mounting subset.
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 SAIJ160BX500-10S FAQ
At 0.7 MPa, this 160mm bore cylinder provides a push force of 14074N and a pull force of 9425N. It operates at a speed range of 30-500 mm/s.
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop that allows you to shorten the effective travel by up to 10mm, providing a usable stroke window of 490-500mm. It only sets the end position and does not lock the load without live air pressure.
