The AirTAC SAIJ80 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ80AX160-40S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 160mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its standardized mounting interface makes it interchangeable with other ISO 15552 cylinders at the mounting interface.
The AirTAC SAIJ80X160-40-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that allows you to fine-tune the effective travel window down to 120 mm from its 160 mm nominal stroke. This on-the-fly adjustment is ideal for product changeovers, letting you dial in the exact end position without swapping the cylinder or adding bulky external stops. It delivers robust thrust, generating 2268 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa and up to 4523 N at 0.9 MPa.
This specific SKU is configured with a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance and includes a magnet (-S) for use with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors. The extruded aluminum barrel features sensor grooves on both sides for flexible switch mounting. It uses a G3/8 PT port and supports a speed range of 30-800 mm/s. The rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop to set the travel end and does not hold the load without live air pressure.

Double-rod model: the rod passes through the rear cover, so both piston faces lose rod area and push is shown at the annular-area value. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

Quickly adjust the end stop from 160 mm down to 120 mm to accommodate different package sizes on a packaging line without changing out the cylinder.
Fine-tune the retract stroke during machine commissioning to achieve exact positioning, preventing mechanical crashes without adding external stops.
Leverage the built-in magnet with DMSE electronic sensors to confirm the adjusted end-of-stroke positions for precise automated sequencing.
Choose this 80 mm bore when your application requires substantial force, such as the 2268 N pull at 0.5 MPa provided here. If your setup needs less force, stepping down to a 63 mm bore yields 1402 N of pull force, while moving up to a 100 mm bore increases the pull force to 3681 N at the same pressure. The 40 mm adjustment range on this model is perfect for machines that handle multiple product sizes, giving you a 120-160 mm travel window to dial in during commissioning without needing a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder.
Because this is a standard 160 mm stroke, side-loading risks are manageable, but always ensure proper guiding for heavy loads. Remember that the rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock; if you need true fail-safe load holding without live air, consider the AirTAC SAIL or BSAI series. This model is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 and uses the reduced SAIJ mounting set: Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.
Quick checklist
The rear adjusting screw acts as a mechanical stop, allowing you to shorten the effective stroke anywhere within a 120-160 mm travel window. It sets the travel end but does not lock or hold the load without continuous air pressure.
