The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX90-10 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 90mm 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 SAIJ160X90-10 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, delivering massive thrust for heavy-duty automation. It features a 160 mm bore that generates 14074 N of push force at 0.7 MPa. The integrated adjusting screw allows you to fine-tune the effective travel within an 80 to 90 mm window, providing exact end-position control without swapping components.
This unit utilizes a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod for superior corrosion resistance and features PT tapered port threads with a G3/4 connection. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for flexible switch mounting, though this specific SKU is configured without a magnet. Operating at speeds between 30 and 500 mm/s, it relies on adjustable air cushions at both ends to decelerate heavy loads smoothly.

Dial in the exact 80 to 90 mm travel window during initial setup to ensure heavy pressing operations hit the precise target depth without mechanical shims.
Quickly adjust the end-stop by up to 10 mm when swapping large machining fixtures on a line, accommodating different part heights without replacing the cylinder.
Leverage the 14074 N of force at 0.7 MPa to seat heavy components, using the rear stopper to finely tune the final resting position for delicate alignments.
Select this 160 mm bore cylinder when an 80 mm bore cannot provide the required force, as stepping up from 80 mm increases your 0.5 MPa push thrust from 2513 N to 10053 N. The 10 mm adjustment range is ideal for dialing in the precise end-stop during machine commissioning or product changeover, preventing the need to bolt on external stoppers. For any application approaching the 300 mm stroke threshold, ensure you use an external guide to handle side loads, as even the robust 40 mm rod can be stressed by heavy unsupported masses.
When specifying a replacement, confirm the 160 mm bore, 90 mm nominal stroke, 10 mm adjustment window, PT G3/4 port, and the absence of a magnet. Remember that the rear adjuster acts strictly as a travel stop and does not hold the load without live air; if your process requires true load-holding without pneumatic pressure, consider the AirTAC SAIL or BSAI series instead. Mounting options are limited to Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.
Quick checklist
At an operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, this 160 mm bore cylinder provides a push force of 14074 N and a pull force of 9425 N. It can achieve a maximum push force of 18095 N at 0.9 MPa.
The rear adjusting screw acts as an external stopper that lets you shorten the 90 mm nominal stroke by up to 10 mm, creating an effective travel window of 80 to 90 mm. This allows for fine-tuning the end position at commissioning without changing the cylinder.
