The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160X135-20S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 135mm 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 SAIJ160X135-20-S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It delivers substantial thrust, providing 14074N push force at 0.7 MPa, making it suited for heavy-duty operations. The integrated -S magnet enables position sensing via AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic solid-state switches fitted into the dual-side sensor grooves. A standard PT tapered port thread and a robust 40mm carbon steel rod ensure durable performance.
This model features a 135mm nominal stroke that can be fine-tuned down by up to 20mm, creating a usable travel window of 115-135mm. This built-in adjustability allows operators to dial in exact end positions during commissioning without adding external stops or swapping the cylinder. The rear screw functions purely as a travel stop to set the retract endpoint, not as a lock, meaning live air is required to hold the load.

Dial in the 115-135mm retract stop during line changeovers to accommodate different product lengths without replacing the cylinder.
Leverage the 14074N push force at 0.7 MPa to secure heavy workpieces, using the adjuster to set precise clamping depth.
Fine-tune the end-of-stroke position during initial machine commissioning to perfect timing without adding external mechanical stops.
Select this 160mm bore cylinder when an application demands high force, such as the 10053N pull at 0.5 MPa, but requires precise end-position tuning for varying product sizes. If your setup needs less force, stepping down to a 125mm bore yields 6136N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas moving up to a 200mm bore provides 15708N. The adjustable 115-135mm window makes this SAIJ model preferable over a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder for machines that undergo frequent product changeovers. For load-holding without continuous air pressure, use an external pilot-operated check valve or select the SAIL or BSAI series instead, as the SAIJ adjuster does not lock the load.
When integrating this cylinder, note the SAIJ mounting set includes Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 options, omitting the FB, CA, CB, and CR mounts. Dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, it utilizes a standard PT G3/4 port. Although the 135mm stroke is below the 300mm threshold where external guides become critical, the 40mm rod thread handles side loads well, yet unsupported loads should still be guided externally.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa, this 160mm bore cylinder provides a push force of 14074N and a pull force of 9425N. It can deliver up to 10053N push force at 0.5 MPa.
The rear adjuster screw allows you to shorten the 135mm nominal stroke by up to 20mm, giving an effective travel window of 115-135mm. This stopper sets the end position but does not lock the load without live air pressure.
