The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX500-10S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 500mm 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 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.

Dial in the exact 490-500mm end position on a 14074N press without swapping cylinders or adding external mechanical stops during setup.
Leverage the SUS304 stainless steel rod for reliable heavy-duty positioning in washdown or corrosive manufacturing settings.
Adjust the retract end-stop on the fly during product changeover to accommodate different assembly depths on a 500mm stroke machine.
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
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.
