The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160X165-50S 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 SAIJ160X165-50-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, enabling you to fine-tune the retract end position during commissioning. With a 165 mm nominal stroke and a 50 mm adjustment screw, it provides a usable travel window of 115 to 165 mm without requiring external stops. It features a standard carbon steel piston rod and a built-in magnet for CMSE and DMSE sensors.
In the 160 mm bore class, this cylinder delivers a 10053 N pull force and a 14074 N push force at 0.7 MPa. The extruded aluminum barrel incorporates sensor grooves on both sides, and the PT tapered port threads match the standard G3/4 interface. The rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop to set deceleration and travel limits; it does not hold a load without live air pressure.

Dial in the exact 115-165 mm retract distance during heavy press commissioning to accommodate varying material thicknesses without swapping cylinders.
Quickly adjust the end-stop on automated assembly lines when switching between different product dimensions, saving setup time.
Use the rear adjuster to set precise deceleration points for heavy loads moving at up to 500 mm/s within the 160 mm bore class.
Selecting this 160 mm bore over a smaller 125 mm unit upgrades your thrust from 5734 N to 10053 N pull force at 0.5 MPa, which is critical for heavy-duty positioning. The adjustable stroke is chosen over a fixed SAI cylinder when you need variable end-stops for product changeovers. For load-holding without continuous air pressure, this plain cylinder is insufficient—consider the SAIL (air-released lock) or BSAI (clamp-lock) series instead. As an ISO 15552 interchangeable replacement, match the 160 mm bore, 165 mm stroke, 50 mm adjuster, PT G3/4 port, and -S magnet.
Although the 165 mm stroke is below the 300 mm threshold where external guides become mandatory, the 40 mm rod diameter and M36x2 thread provide substantial side-load resistance. The SAIJ mounting set includes Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 options, omitting the FB, CA, CB, and CR footprints. Speeds range from 30 to 500 mm/s.
Quick checklist
This 160 mm bore cylinder provides a push force of 14074 N and a pull force of 10053 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum push force of 18095 N at 0.9 MPa.
The rear adjuster screw allows you to shorten the effective travel from the nominal 165 mm down to 115 mm, creating a 50 mm adjustable window for fine-tuning the end position during setup.
