The AirTAC SAIJ80 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ80BX170-20 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 170mm 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 SAIJ80X170-20 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster. It provides a usable travel window of 150 to 170 mm, allowing you to dial back the 170 mm nominal stroke by up to 20 mm during commissioning. Delivering a robust 2513 N pull force at 0.5 MPa, it is built with a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance and features PT tapered port threads.
This extruded aluminum barrel design includes sensor grooves on both sides for flexible switch mounting. The 25 mm piston rod and M20x1.5 thread provide excellent rigidity, though the rear adjuster acts strictly as a travel stop and does not hold the load without live air pressure. It supports a speed range of 30-800 mm/s and uses a reduced mounting set (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2) compared to standard fixed-stroke models.

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 fine-tune the retract distance from 150 to 170 mm when switching between product sizes on a packaging line.
Dial in the exact end-of-stroke stop during machine commissioning without adding external physical stops or shims.
Provides 2513 N of pulling force at 0.5 MPa for securely clamping workpieces, with a stainless SUS304 rod for harsh environments.
Choose this 80 mm bore when you need higher thrust than a 63 mm cylinder (which provides 1402 N pull at 0.5 MPa) but want to avoid the larger footprint of a 100 mm option. The adjustable stroke is ideal for applications requiring variable end-stops or product-size changeovers without swapping the physical cylinder. To replace an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 80 mm bore, 170 mm stroke, 20 mm adjustment, PT port thread, and desired mounting interface. Note that this model lacks a magnet (-S), so position sensing requires adding a magnet or external sensors.
Because the stroke is under 300 mm, side-load stress is moderate, but always ensure proper alignment to avoid rod binding. For load-holding without continuous air pressure, this cylinder is insufficient; consider an AirTAC SAIL (air-released lock) or BSAI (clamp-lock) cylinder instead.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 3518 N.
A rear adjusting screw acts as a stopper to shorten the effective stroke. For this 170 mm model, you can trim the travel back by up to 20 mm, giving an adjustable window of 150 to 170 mm without replacing the cylinder.
