The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160X165-10S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 165mm 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 SAIJ160X165-10-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster. It provides a 155-165 mm usable travel window, allowing you to dial back the nominal 165 mm stroke by up to 10 mm during commissioning. Belonging to the 160 mm bore class, it delivers substantial thrust, pushing with 14074 N at 0.7 MPa and 18095 N at 0.9 MPa.
This extruded aluminum profile cylinder includes a magnetic piston for position detection, compatible with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic solid-state switches. The robust 40 mm carbon steel rod and M36x2 thread handle high side loads, while the PT tapered port thread ensures a tight pneumatic seal. It utilizes a 50 mm air cushion at both ends to decelerate heavy masses smoothly.

Dial in the exact 155-165 mm end position for heavy pressing or clamping operations without swapping out the entire cylinder.
Quickly adjust the rear stopper by up to 10 mm during product size changeovers on the line to accommodate new workpiece dimensions.
Use the robust 40 mm rod and 18095 N thrust to move large components into place, relying on the rear screw to set the precise machine home position.
Select this adjustable-stroke model when an application requires exact end-position tuning at machine setup without physically swapping the cylinder or adding external stops. The 10 mm adjustment window is ideal for fine-tuning press fits or gripping variations. If your changeover requires a significantly different travel distance, stepping down to a 125 mm bore (8590 N push at 0.5 MPa) or up to a 200 mm bore (15708 N push at 0.5 MPa) might be necessary.
When matching an ISO 15552 replacement, verify the 160 mm bore, 165 mm stroke, 10 mm adjustment range, PT port thread, and the -S magnet option. Because the nominal stroke is 165 mm, an external guide is recommended for heavy loads, but note that strokes of 300 mm or more require an external guide to prevent rod sag. Remember, the rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock; for load-holding without live air pressure, consider an AirTAC SAIL or BSAI cylinder.
Quick checklist
This 160 mm bore cylinder provides a push force of 14074 N at 0.7 MPa and 18095 N at 0.9 MPa. The pull force at 0.7 MPa is 9425 N.
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop, allowing you to shorten the effective stroke from 165 mm down to 155 mm. It is a travel stop for end-position tuning, not a lock, and cannot hold the load without live air pressure.
