This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is SAIJ160X100-10S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the SAIJ160X100-10S 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 SIJ160X100-10S
The AirTAC Airtac SIJ160 Double Rod Adjustable Cylinder SIJ160X100-10S 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 SAIJ160X100-10S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SIJ160 Double Rod Adjustable Cylinder SIJ160X100-10S
The AirTAC SIJ160X100-10S is a discontinued double-acting single-rod ISO 15552 adjustable-stroke cylinder with a 160mm bore and 100mm maximum extend stroke. An external stop screw lets you trim the extend stroke by up to 10mm on-site, yielding a usable 90-100mm stroke. The stop sets the end position but is not a load lock. This bore delivers 10053N push and 9425N pull at 0.5MPa, uses a G3/4 port, and includes a 50mm adjustable cushion at each end. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAIJ160X100-10S, retaining the same interface, force, and porting.
The SAIJ upgrade features an improved two-piece Y-shaped piston seal for lower start-up pressure and longer life. For sizing, the 10053N push at 0.5MPa yields a safe working load of roughly 6032N (60% of rated force), translating to a 512kg vertical lift capacity with a 2:1 margin. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. Remember that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss; for load holding, use an external rod lock or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant.

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 SAIJ160X100-10S 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 SIJ160X100-10S Is Used
Press Fit Tuning
Finalizing insertion depth of large bearings where a 10mm on-site stroke trim prevents over-travel without re-machining the fixture.
Heavy Diverter Stop
Acting as a heavy-duty flow stop on a conveyor, adjusting the extend endpoint by up to 10mm to accommodate varying pallet thicknesses.
Pallet Positioning
Indexing large pallets to a precise datum, using the external stop screw to dial in the final 90-100mm extend position under heavy load.
Replacing the Airtac SIJ160 Double Rod Adjustable Cylinder SIJ160X100-10S with the SAIJ160X100-10S
To replace the discontinued SIJ160X100-10S, order the drop-in SAIJ160X100-10S, which preserves the 160mm bore, 100mm nominal stroke, 10mm adjust window, G3/4 port, and ISO 15552 mounting. When sizing both ways, the neighboring 125mm bore yields 6136N push at 0.5MPa, while the 200mm bore yields 15708N push at 0.5MPa; this 160mm model provides 10053N push. Choose the 10mm adjust window if you need precise 90-100mm extend endpoint tuning without adding external mechanical stops. Mounting attachments (Basic, FA, LB, TC) are reusable. The -S magnet supports legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. For strokes at or above 300mm, verify side-load limits to prevent guide bushing wear. The external stop screw only sets the end position and does not lock the load; use a pilot-operated check valve or SAIL/BSAI variant for held loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAIJ160X100-10S
- ✓ 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 SIJ160X100-10S FAQ
Yes, the AirTAC SIJ160X100-10S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAIJ160X100-10S. It maintains the same ISO 15552 interface, 160mm bore, 100mm stroke, 10mm adjust window, G3/4 port, and mounting options. The SAIJ family also uses an upgraded piston seal for longer life.
It provides 10053N push and 9425N pull at 0.5MPa, 14074N push at 0.7MPa, and 18095N push at 0.9MPa, with a theoretical max of 2050kgf at 1.0MPa. The external stop screw allows you to trim the extend stroke by up to 10mm on-site (usable stroke 90-100mm). The stop sets end position but is not a load lock; speed is 30-500mm/s.
