About the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160X170-100
The AirTAC SAIJ160X170-100 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster. It provides a usable travel window of 70 to 170 mm, allowing you to dial back the nominal stroke by up to 100 mm during commissioning without adding external stops.
Delivering 10053 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa and 14074 N of push force at 0.7 MPa, this unit handles heavy loads. The 40 mm carbon steel rod with an M36x2 thread provides high structural rigidity, while the extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for flexible switch placement.

Where the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160X170-100 Is Used
Heavy Press Tuning
Fine-tune the exact bottoming position of a heavy press operation across a 70 to 170 mm window without machining new hard stops.
Product Changeover
Rapidly adapt end-stop distances on a packaging line when switching to a different product size by turning the rear adjuster screw.
Assembly Station Setup
Dial in the exact retraction point during machine commissioning to ensure heavy components seat perfectly every cycle.
Is the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160X170-100 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 160 mm bore when a 125 mm bore (providing 5734 N pull at 0.5 MPa) lacks the necessary thrust for heavy positioning tasks. The 100 mm adjustment range is ideal for product changeovers where the exact end-of-stroke position varies significantly between runs. For load-holding without live air pressure, note that the rear adjuster acts only as a travel stop; consider an AirTAC SAIL or BSAI lock cylinder instead.
As a dimensionally interchangeable ISO 15552 cylinder, it matches standard mounting footprints using PT tapered G3/4 ports and the SAIJ mounting set (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2). Because the 170 mm stroke is relatively short for this bore, side-load concerns are minimal, but external guides are still recommended for heavy offset loads.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — consider a guided cylinder
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (FA/FB/CA/CB/LB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160X170-100 FAQ
A rear-mounted adjusting screw acts as a mechanical stop, allowing you to shorten the effective stroke from 170 mm down to as little as 70 mm. It sets the travel end-point but does not lock or hold the load without continuous air pressure.
At 0.5 MPa it provides 10053 N of pull force and 14074 N of push force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 14074 N, making it suitable for heavy-duty positioning tasks.
