About the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX550-50S
The AirTAC SAIJ160X550-50-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear mechanical adjuster that trims the effective stroke. With a 550 mm nominal stroke and a 50 mm adjustment range, it provides a usable travel window of 500 to 550 mm. This allows precise end-position tuning during commissioning without swapping hardware. The 160 mm bore delivers substantial thrust, pushing 14074 N at 0.7 MPa.
This variant includes a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance and operates at 30 to 500 mm/s. Equipped with a magnet (-S), it supports AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors housed within the dual-side barrel grooves. The rear stopper sets the retract position, but it does not lock the load without live air pressure.

Where the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX550-50S Is Used
Heavy Machinery Setup
Fine-tune the 500 to 550 mm travel window during heavy equipment commissioning to achieve exact positioning without adding external stops.
Product Changeover
Dial in the retract end position by up to 50 mm to accommodate different package sizes on a packaging line quickly.
Press Positioning
Leverage the 14074 N push force at 0.7 MPa alongside the adjustable stroke to set precise pressing depths on the factory floor.
Is the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX550-50S the Right Cylinder?
Select this 160 mm bore actuator when an application requires high force combined with variable end stops, such as product-size changeovers on a line. If 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa is sufficient, stepping down to a 125 mm bore saves space; conversely, moving to a 200 mm bore yields 15708 N at 0.5 MPa for heavier loads. For fixed-travel needs without tuning, the standard SAI cylinder is a simpler alternative.
Because the 550 mm stroke is long, an external guide is recommended to manage side loads and protect the M36x2 rod thread. To match this ISO 15552 footprint exactly, specify the 160 mm bore, 550 mm stroke, 50 mm adjustment, PT tapered ports, and the -S magnet. For load-holding without continuous air, use an external rod lock or explore the SAIL or BSAI series instead of relying on the adjuster.
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 SAIJ160BX550-50S FAQ
It features a rear adjusting screw that acts as a mechanical stop, allowing you to shorten the effective stroke by up to 50 mm. This creates a usable travel window of 500 to 550 mm for fine-tuning the end position without replacing the cylinder.
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, this 160 mm bore cylinder provides a push force of 14074 N and a pull force of 9425 N. It can deliver a maximum push force of 18095 N at 0.9 MPa.
