The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160X100-100 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 100mm 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 SAIJ160X100-100 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, delivering massive thrust for heavy-duty operations. Outfitted with a 40mm carbon steel rod and a G3/4 PT port, it yields a push force of 14074N at 0.7MPa. The defining feature of this SKU is its full 0-100mm usable travel window, allowing the nominal 100mm stroke to be dialed back completely to zero if an application demands it.
Rather than machining custom lengths or adding external stops, operators can use the integrated rear screw to fine-tune the retract end-position during commissioning. The extruded aluminum barrel features sensor grooves on both sides for flexible mounting of CMSE reed or DMSE electronic switches, though a magnet is not included in this standard configuration. This adjuster functions purely as a travel stop and does not hold the load without continuous live air pressure.

Dial in the exact end-position for high-force pressing and forming tasks, using the 0-100mm window to compensate for tooling wear without external shims.
Adapt diverter arms on packaging lines instantly by turning the rear screw, accommodating varying package lengths on the fly.
Achieve precise end-stop calibration during initial commissioning of heavy machinery, avoiding the need to swap cylinders for minor position corrections.
Selecting this 160mm bore cylinder makes sense when your application requires up to 14074N of push force at 0.7MPa, stepping up from a 125mm bore that provides 8590N. The adjustable 0-100mm window is ideal for product-size changeovers on a line, providing variable end-stops without swapping out the entire actuator. Because the nominal stroke is 100mm, the 40mm rod handles side loads well, though any setup approaching or exceeding 300mm of travel would require an external guide.
For a true ISO 15552 replacement match, verify the 160mm bore, 100mm nominal stroke, 0-100mm adjustment range, G3/4 PT port, and mounting style. SAIJ supports a reduced set of mounts: Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR. If your process requires holding a load without live air, this cylinder is insufficient; you should look to the SAIL pneumatic lock or BSAI clamp-lock series instead.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, this 160mm bore cylinder provides a push force of 14074N and a pull force of 9425N. It can reach a maximum push force of 18095N at 0.9 MPa.
The rear adjuster acts as a mechanical stop, allowing you to trim the effective travel anywhere within a 0-100mm window from the nominal 100mm stroke. It only sets the end position and does not lock the load without live air.
