About the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160X170-100S
The AirTAC SAIJ160X170-100-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, delivering massive thrust for heavy-duty automation. It generates a push force of 14074N and a pull force of 9425N at 0.7 MPa. The built-in -S magnet enables position detection with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors, fitting directly into the dual-side extruded aluminum barrel grooves.
This specific SKU features a 170mm nominal stroke paired with a 100mm adjustment range, yielding a usable travel window of 70-170mm. This broad adjustment band is ideal for dialing in exact end positions during product changeovers without swapping the cylinder. The adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop for deceleration alongside the variable air cushions; it does not hold the load without live air. For load-holding requirements without pneumatic pressure, an external rod lock or the related SAIL lock cylinder is required.

Where the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160X170-100S Is Used
Heavy Press Tuning
Dial in the exact 70-170mm end position for heavy pressing tasks during commissioning without replacing the entire actuator.
Product Changeover
Quickly adjust the rear stopper to accommodate different pallet sizes on a line, leveraging the 100mm travel window.
Variable End Stops
Use the rear mechanical stop to set precise retraction limits for heavy machinery indexing without adding external hard stops.
Is the Airtac SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160X170-100S the Right Cylinder?
Select this 160mm bore cylinder when an application demands high force—stepping down to a 125mm bore drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 6136N, whereas this model provides 10053N at the same pressure. The 100mm adjustment window allows precise end-position tuning at commissioning, avoiding the need to bolt on external stops or change to a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder. When matching ISO 15552 replacements, verify the 170mm stroke, 100mm adjuster, PT tapered port thread, and the -S magnet option.
With a 170mm stroke, the 40mm carbon steel rod and M36x2 rod thread provide robust resistance to bending, but any long unsupported overhang still requires an external guide to prevent side-loading damage. The SAIJ mounting set includes Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 options, deliberately omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR brackets. Operating speed for this bore size is 30-500mm/s.
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 SAIJ160X170-100S FAQ
At 0.7 MPa, this 160mm bore cylinder provides a push force of 14074N and a pull force of 9425N. It can deliver a maximum push force of 18095N at 0.9 MPa.
The rear adjuster screw allows you to trim the effective stroke within a 70-170mm usable travel window. It functions as a travel stop for end-position tuning and does not lock the load without continuous air pressure.
