This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is SAIJ160X100-20 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the SAIJ160X100-20 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 SIJ160X100-20
The AirTAC Airtac SIJ160 Double Rod Adjustable Cylinder SIJ160X100-20 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 SAIJ160X100-20, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SIJ160 Double Rod Adjustable Cylinder SIJ160X100-20
The AirTAC SIJ160X100-20 is a discontinued double-acting single-rod ISO 15552 adjustable-stroke cylinder with a 160mm bore and 100mm nominal stroke. An external stop screw lets you trim the extend stroke by up to 20mm on-site, yielding a usable 80-100mm end position. The G3/4 port and 50mm adjustable cushions manage the 10053N push and 9425N pull forces at 0.5MPa. As this SIJ is end-of-life, the exact drop-in replacement is the SAIJ160X100-20, matching the bore, stroke, force, port, and mounting.
The SAIJ successor retains the interface but upgrades to a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for lower start-up pressure and longer life. Computed buyer insight: a safe working load is ~6032N (60% of the 10053N @0.5MPa push), equating to a ~512kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. This SKU lacks a -S magnet, so it cannot accept a magnetic switch; for legacy sensing use external mechanical switches. The stop screw sets end position but is not a load lock—on air loss the piston drifts. For held loads, use an external rod lock, pilot-operated check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants.

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 SAIJ160X100-20 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 SIJ160X100-20 Is Used
Heavy Press Tonnage Calibration
Trimming the 100mm extend stroke by up to 20mm on-site allows operators to set precise bottom-dead-center for a 160mm bore press without machining hard stops.
Pallet Positioning Diverter
Adjusting the extend end position on the fly accommodates varying pallet widths on a heavy-duty transfer line, using the full 10053N push force to shift loads.
Heavy Fixture Clamp Adjustment
Dialing in the 80-100mm stroke window ensures a 160mm bore clamp seats properly against oversized parts, leveraging the 9425N pull force for secure retraction.
Replacing the Airtac SIJ160 Double Rod Adjustable Cylinder SIJ160X100-20 with the SAIJ160X100-20
To replace the discontinued SIJ160X100-20, order the drop-in SAIJ160X100-20, which reuses the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface and G3/4 port. To size both ways: the neighbouring 125mm bore yields 6136N push @0.5MPa, while the 200mm bore yields 15708N push @0.5MPa. Choose the -20mm adjust window if you need precise 80-100mm extend tuning; the external stop sets end position but is not a lock. Mounting attachments (FA, LB, TC) transfer directly. Because this non-magnetic SKU cannot take a switch, add external sensors if needed. For stroke lengths >=300mm, verify side-load guide tolerance to prevent rod binding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAIJ160X100-20
- ✓ 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 SIJ160X100-20 FAQ
Yes, the SIJ160X100-20 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAIJ160X100-20. It matches the ISO 15552 interface, 160mm bore, 100mm stroke, 20mm adjust window, G3/4 port, and mounting hardware, while adding an upgraded piston seal.
The 160mm bore delivers 10053N push and 9425N pull @0.5MPa, 14074N push @0.7MPa, and 18095N push @0.9MPa (max 2050 kgf @1.0MPa). The external stop screw window is 20mm, allowing you to trim the 100mm extend stroke down to 80mm on-site. The stop sets end position only; it is not a load lock.
