The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160X1000-100S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 1000mm 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 SAIJ160X1000-100-S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It features a 160 mm bore and a 1000 mm nominal stroke, yielding a usable travel window of 900 to 1000 mm. This specific adjustment capacity allows you to dial back the extend position by up to 100 mm during commissioning or product changeover without swapping out the entire actuator. The carbon steel rod and PT tapered port threads are standard on this unit, which includes a magnet for position sensing.
Operating at 0.7 MPa, this cylinder generates a substantial push force of 14074 N and a pull force of 9425 N. The extruded aluminum barrel incorporates sensor grooves on both sides, allowing you to mount CMSE reed or DMSE electronic solid-state switches directly along the body. The rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop to set the end position, working in tandem with the variable air cushions at both ends to decelerate the load smoothly.

Dial in the exact 900 to 1000 mm extend position during heavy press commissioning to accommodate different die heights without adding external mechanical stops.
Quickly adjust the end-of-stroke position on a conveyor diverting arm when switching the production line to handle larger pallet sizes or packaging formats.
Index heavy materials along a 1-meter stroke path, relying on the 14074 N push force and fine-tuning the final resting position to within a 100 mm window.
Selecting this 160 mm bore actuator makes sense when your application requires the 14074 N push force available at 0.7 MPa, stepping up from a 125 mm bore that provides 8590 N under the same pressure. The adjustable stroke is chosen over a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder when you need on-machine fine-tuning of the end position, such as accommodating varying product sizes on a packaging line. Because the nominal stroke is 1000 mm, the 40 mm diameter carbon steel rod will experience leverage forces under side loading; an external guide rail is strongly recommended to prevent premature seal wear and rod bending.
For an exact ISO 15552 replacement, match the 160 mm bore, 1000 mm stroke, 100 mm adjustment range, PT port threads, and the -S magnet option. The SAIJ mounting set includes Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 options, omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR. Remember that the rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a locking device; this cylinder cannot hold a load without live air pressure, so you must specify an SAIL or BSAI cylinder if fail-safe load holding is required.
Quick checklist
At an operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, this 160 mm bore cylinder generates a push force of 14074 N and a pull force of 9425 N. At the maximum rated pressure of 1.0 MPa, the push force reaches 18095 N.
The rear adjuster screw allows you to mechanically shorten the effective stroke from its 1000 mm nominal length down to 900 mm. This creates a 900 to 1000 mm usable travel window, enabling precise end-position tuning at commissioning without replacing the cylinder.
