This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is SAIJ160X10-10 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the SAIJ160X10-10 in place of this model. The SAI replacement keeps the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, output force and accessories, so it drops straight into existing fixtures. It is the current-production version of this cylinder with an upgraded piston seal.
Airtac SIJ160 Double Rod Adjustable Cylinder SIJ160X10-10
The AirTAC Airtac SIJ160 Double Rod Adjustable Cylinder SIJ160X10-10 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 10mm stroke, G3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the SAIJ160X10-10, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SIJ160 Double Rod Adjustable Cylinder SIJ160X10-10
The AirTAC SIJ160X10-10 is a discontinued double-acting single-rod ISO 15552 adjustable-stroke cylinder. An external stop screw lets you trim the extend stroke by up to 10 mm on-site, yielding a usable 0-10 mm stroke from the 10 mm nominal maximum. The 160 mm bore delivers 10053 N push and 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa via a G3/4 port, with a 50 mm adjustable air cushion at each end. Because this SKU lacks a -S suffix, it has no magnet and cannot accept a magnetic switch.
The exact drop-in replacement is the SAIJ160X10-10, preserving the ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, force, and adjust window. The SAIJ family upgrades the piston seal to two Y-shaped one-way elements for lower start-up pressure and longer life. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 6032 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa push), equating to a 512 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The stop screw sets end position only; it is not a load lock, so use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant for held loads.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAIJ160X10-10 carries the same ISO 15552 ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø160mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 10053 N | 9425 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 14074 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 2050 kgf | |
The SAIJ160X10-10 produces the same force from the same bore — a true drop-in on output. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

Where the Airtac SIJ160 Double Rod Adjustable Cylinder SIJ160X10-10 Is Used
Short-Stroke Pressing
Applies the 18095 N push at 0.9 MPa for compact pressing tasks, using the 10 mm adjust screw to dial in the exact contact travel without shimming.
End-Stop Calibration
Sets a precise 0-10 mm lower end position in clamping rigs where a fixed 10 mm stroke leaves no room for mechanical fine-tuning.
Heavy Dampening
Leverages the 50 mm adjustable cushion to decelerate heavy 160 mm bores smoothly at the end of the short 10 mm extend travel.
Replacing the Airtac SIJ160 Double Rod Adjustable Cylinder SIJ160X10-10 with the SAIJ160X10-10
To replace the discontinued SIJ160X10-10, order the drop-in SAIJ160X10-10, which retains the G3/4 port, M36x2 rod thread, and ISO 15552 mounting. For sizing both ways, the neighbouring 125 mm bore yields 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 200 mm bore yields 15708 N. This 160 mm bore provides 10053 N push at 0.5 MPa. The 10 mm adjust window is ideal when you need precise end-position tuning within a short 0-10 mm travel. Reuse FA, LB, or TC mounts. As the stroke is under 300 mm, side-load leverage is minimal. This non-magnetic SKU cannot take sensors; for position detection you must upgrade to a -S magnet model.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAIJ160X10-10
- ✓ Same bore / stroke / force
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/G/NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Mounting reused (FA/FB/CA/CB/CR/LB/TC)
Airtac SIJ160 Double Rod Adjustable Cylinder SIJ160X10-10 FAQ
Yes, the SIJ160X10-10 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAIJ160X10-10, which matches the ISO 15552 interface, 10 mm adjust window, 10053 N push force, and G3/4 port.
