This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is SAIJ160X100-100 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the SAIJ160X100-100 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 SIJ160X100-100
The AirTAC Airtac SIJ160 Double Rod Adjustable Cylinder SIJ160X100-100 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 SAIJ160X100-100, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SIJ160 Double Rod Adjustable Cylinder SIJ160X100-100
The AirTAC SIJ160X100-100 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 100 mm on-site, setting the end position precisely without needing a custom-length barrel. It features a 160 mm bore, a 40 mm piston rod, and a G3/4 port. Because this SIJ model is end-of-life, the exact drop-in replacement is the SAIJ160X100-100, which retains the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, force output, and adjustability window.
Force output is substantial: push is 10053 N and pull is 9425 N at 0.5 MPa, scaling to 18095 N at 0.9 MPa. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 6032 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa push), yielding a vertical lift capacity of approximately 512 kg with a 2:1 margin. The SAIJ successor incorporates an upgraded two-piece Y-shaped piston seal for lower start-up pressure and longer life. Note that this SKU lacks a magnet (-S), so it cannot accept magnetic switches; for load-holding, the stop screw only sets position and is not a lock, so an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant is required.

|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 10053 N | 9425 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 14074 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 2050 kgf | |
The SAIJ160X100-100 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 SIJ160X100-100 Is Used
Heavy Press Tonnage
Apply up to 18095 N of push force at 0.9 MPa for forming operations, using the 100 mm adjust screw to fine-tune the bottom dead center on-site without swapping cylinders.
Pallet Positioning Stops
Act as a robust physical stop in high-mass conveyance lines, trimming the extend stroke by up to 100 mm to accommodate varying pallet depths while handling a safe 6032 N working load.
Mold Height Setup
Set precise mold closure limits on heavy machinery, leveraging the 50 mm adjustable air cushions at each end to safely decelerate the 40 mm rod before hitting the external stop.
Replacing the Airtac SIJ160 Double Rod Adjustable Cylinder SIJ160X100-100 with the SAIJ160X100-100
To replace the discontinued SIJ160X100-100, order the drop-in SAIJ160X100-100, matching the 160 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, and 100 mm adjust window. When sizing both ways, the neighboring 125 mm bore yields 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 200 mm bore yields 15708 N push at 0.5 MPa; this SIJ160X100-100 provides 10053 N push at 0.5 MPa. The 100 mm adjust window allows trimming the extend stroke down to zero on-site. Mounting options include Basic, FA, LB, and TC using the ISO 15552 interface. Because this SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot support legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. Since the stroke is under 300 mm, side-load leverage is minimized, but remember the stop screw sets end position only—it is not a load lock; use an external rod lock for held loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAIJ160X100-100
- ✓ 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 SIJ160X100-100 FAQ
Yes, the AirTAC SIJ160X100-100 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAIJ160X100-100. It shares the same ISO 15552 interface, 160 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, 100 mm adjust window, G3/4 port, and mounting options. The SAIJ features an upgraded piston seal for longer life.
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 100 mm on-site. It uses a G3/4 port, operates at 30-500 mm/s, and the stop sets position only—it is not a load lock.
