About the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX500-30S
The AirTAC SAIJ160X500-30-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, delivering robust performance for heavy-duty automation. It features a 160 mm bore generating 14074 N of push force at 0.7 MPa, alongside a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance. The integrated -S magnet enables precise position detection using AirTAC CMSE reed or DMSE electronic sensors housed within the dual-side extruded aluminum barrel grooves.
With a nominal 500 mm stroke and a 30 mm adjustment code, this model provides a usable travel window of 470-500 mm, allowing you to fine-tune the retract end position during commissioning without adding external stops. The rear adjuster acts purely as a travel stop and does not hold the load without live air pressure. Fluid is filtered air, operating between 0.15 and 1.0 MPa, with variable air cushions at both ends to decelerate the substantial moving mass.

Where the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX500-30S Is Used
Heavy Press Tonnage
Ideal for large forming or press applications where 14074 N of thrust at 0.7 MPa is required to actuate heavy tooling.
Product Changeover
The 470-500 mm adjustable travel window allows operators to quickly reset retract end positions when switching between different fixture sizes.
Automated Assembly Lines
Handles massive structural components on assembly lines, using the -S magnet and DMSE sensors to confirm end-of-stroke positioning.
Is the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX500-30S the Right Cylinder?
Select this 160 mm bore when an 80 mm cylinder (providing 3518 N push at 0.7 MPa) lacks the thrust for your heavy fixtures, but a 200 mm bore is physically oversized. The adjustable 470-500 mm travel window is ideal for product changeovers, letting you dial in the exact retract distance on the fly rather than swapping a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder. For exact ISO 15552 replacement matching, verify the 500 mm stroke, 30 mm adjuster, PT tapered port threads, and the -S magnet requirement.
Because the stroke is 500 mm, the M36x2 rod and the cylinder load must be carefully guided to prevent excessive side-loading on the seals. Remember that the rear adjuster is a stop, not a lock; if the machine requires true load-holding without live air, specify an AirTAC SAIL or BSAI cylinder instead.
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 SAIJ160BX500-30S FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, this 160 mm bore cylinder generates 14074 N of push force and 9425 N of pull force. At a maximum 1.0 MPa, the push force reaches 18095 N.
The rear adjuster screw allows you to shorten the 500 mm nominal stroke by up to 30 mm, creating a 470-500 mm usable travel window. This stopper fine-tunes the end position but does not lock the load without continuous air pressure.
