This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is SAIJ160X100-10 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the SAIJ160X100-10 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 SIJ160X100-10
The AirTAC Airtac SIJ160 Double Rod Adjustable Cylinder SIJ160X100-10 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 100mm stroke, G3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the SAIJ160X100-10, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SIJ160 Double Rod Adjustable Cylinder SIJ160X100-10
The AirTAC SIJ160X100-10 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 90-100 mm extension out of the 100 mm nominal maximum. This 160 mm bore delivers a push of 10053 N and pull of 9425 N at 0.5 MPa, operating at 30-500 mm/s with a G3/4 port and M36x2 rod thread. The stop screw strictly sets the end position; it is not a load lock.
The exact drop-in replacement is the SAIJ160X100-10, retaining the same interface, bore, force, and mounting. 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), and vertical lift capacity is about 512 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note this SKU lacks a -S magnet and cannot take a switch.

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 SAIJ160X100-10 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 SIJ160X100-10 Is Used
Press Fit Tuning
Trimming the extend stroke by up to 10 mm on-site allows precise positioning of large press fittings without machining hard stops.
Heavy Material Forming
Delivering 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa, this cylinder handles heavy forming tasks where the final end position requires minor field adjustment.
Pallet Positioning
Adjusting the extend stroke on the fly ensures large pallets are pushed to exact alignment stations before downstream handling.
Replacing the Airtac SIJ160 Double Rod Adjustable Cylinder SIJ160X100-10 with the SAIJ160X100-10
To replace the discontinued SIJ160X100-10, order the drop-in SAIJ160X100-10, which preserves the 10 mm adjust window and ISO 15552 mounting. Size both ways: the 125 mm bore yields 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 200 mm bore yields 15708 N. Choose the 10 mm adjust window when you need precise 90-100 mm extend tuning. Mount via FA, LB, or TC. This non-magnetic SKU cannot support sensors. For stroke lengths >=300 mm, verify side-load limits. Because a plain cylinder drifts on air loss, use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant for held loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAIJ160X100-10
- ✓ 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 SIJ160X100-10 FAQ
Yes, the SIJ160X100-10 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAIJ160X100-10, sharing the same ISO 15552 interface, 160 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, 10 mm adjust window, G3/4 port, and mounting.
The 160 mm bore provides 10053 N push and 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 14074 N push at 0.7 MPa, and 18095 N push at 0.9 MPa. The external stop screw allows you to trim the extend stroke by up to 10 mm on-site, giving a usable 90-100 mm extension. The stop sets end position and is not a load lock.
