About the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX85-30
The AirTAC SAIJ160X85-30 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. By turning the external stopper screw, you can shorten the effective travel, creating a usable stroke window of 55-85 mm without replacing the cylinder. It delivers substantial force, offering 9425 N of pull thrust at 0.5 MPa and up to 18095 N at 0.9 MPa.
This variant features a SUS304 stainless steel rod for corrosion resistance and uses PT tapered ports. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for flexible mounting of CMSE or DMSE switches. Remember that the rear adjuster acts purely as a travel stop to decelerate the piston; it does not lock the load, so live air pressure is required to hold position.

Where the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX85-30 Is Used
Press Fit Tuning
Dial in the exact 55-85 mm insertion depth for bearings or pins during machine setup, allowing quick adjustments for different part sizes without swapping cylinders.
Product Changeover
Rapidly reconfigure end-stops on packaging lines when switching product formats, using the rear adjuster to accommodate varying package dimensions on the fly.
Heavy Clamping
Secure large workpieces with up to 18095 N of force at 0.9 MPa, fine-tuning the clamping reach to accommodate different fixture heights.
Is the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX85-30 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 160 mm bore when the 100 mm bore (providing 3681 N pull at 0.5 MPa) is insufficient for heavy pressing or clamping. The adjustable stroke is ideal for product changeovers on a line, letting you dial in the exact end position during commissioning rather than machining external stops. If you need true load-holding without continuous air pressure, consider the SAIL or BSAI series instead.
For an ISO 15552 replacement match, specify a 160 mm bore, 85 mm nominal stroke, 30 mm adjustment range, PT port thread, and your required mounting bracket from the SAIJ set (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2). Because the 40 mm rod and M36x2 thread carry high side-load capacity, standard applications are well supported, though any long unsupported stroke over 300 mm still requires an external guide.
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 SAIJ160BX85-30 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it provides 10053 N push and 9425 N pull. At 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 18095 N, with a maximum rated force of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop that trims the effective travel back from the 85 mm nominal stroke down to as little as 55 mm, allowing precise end-position tuning at commissioning.
