The AirTAC Airtac SAUJ80 Adjustable Stroke Cylinder SAUJ80X160-50S is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 160mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its hard-anodized aluminum-profile barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore, and it shares SC-series mounting accessories.
The AirTAC SAUJ80X160-50S is a double-acting single-rod profile cylinder with an on-site stroke adjustment window. An external stop screw lets you shorten the extend stroke by up to 50 mm, giving a usable working range of 110-160 mm. The 160 mm nominal stroke is the maximum. It features a 3/8" port, an M20x1.5 rod thread, and 28 mm adjustable air cushions at each end. The extruded aluminum profile barrel makes it shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore.
This 80 mm bore delivers strong thrust: 2513 N push and 2268 N pull at 0.5 MPa, reaching 3518 N at 0.7 MPa. A practical computed insight for sizing is a safe working load of roughly 1508 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa push figure), or a vertical lift capacity of approximately 128 kg with a 2:1 margin. The -S suffix means a built-in piston magnet is present for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensing.

Allows operators to dial in the exact 110-160 mm extend position for pressing bearings without machining custom spacers.
Adjusts the extend stroke on-site to accommodate different box heights on a packaging line using the 50 mm stop window.
Fine-tunes the pusher end position to handle varying pallet widths while utilizing the 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa.
Size this 80 mm bore against its neighbors: the 63 mm yields 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 100 mm provides 3927 N. Choose the SAUJ over a fixed SAU when you need final end-position tuning during machine commissioning rather than adding a separate external stop. The 50 mm adjust window is ideal for setups requiring precise extend variations. Mounting options include Basic, FA flange, and LB foot, sharing compatibility with the AirTAC SC series. The included -S magnet supports reed or electronic sensors. For strokes at or above 300 mm, ensure external guide rails to prevent side-load wear on the rod.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it provides 2513 N push and 2268 N pull. Push force is 3518 N at 0.7 MPa, 4523 N at 0.9 MPa, and a theoretical max of 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The external stop screw allows shortening the extend stroke by up to 50 mm on-site, yielding a usable range of 110-160 mm.
The external stop screw mechanically sets the extend end position but is not a load lock. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss because the 28 mm air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of travel. For secure load holding, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
