This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is SAIJ160X100-30 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the SAIJ160X100-30 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 SIJ160X100-30
The AirTAC Airtac SIJ160 Double Rod Adjustable Cylinder SIJ160X100-30 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 SAIJ160X100-30, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SIJ160 Double Rod Adjustable Cylinder SIJ160X100-30
The AirTAC SIJ160X100-30 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 30 mm on-site, giving a usable 70-100 mm extension out of the 100 mm nominal maximum. This 160 mm bore delivers 10053 N push and 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa, features a 50 mm adjustable cushion at each end, and uses a G3/4 port.
The exact drop-in replacement is the SAIJ160X100-30, retaining the same interface, force, and mounting. The SAIJ upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal 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), yielding a 512 kg vertical lift capacity with a 2:1 margin. Note this SKU lacks a -S magnet and cannot accept a sensor; the stop screw sets end position but is not a load lock.

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 SAIJ160X100-30 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 SIJ160X100-30 Is Used
Press Fit Tuning
Dialing in a 70-100 mm press stroke for inserting large bearings, where the 30 mm on-site adjust window absorbs fixture tolerances without remachining stops.
Heavy Pallet Positioning
Shifting loaded pallets up to 512 kg vertically, using the adjustable end-position to account for varying pallet heights while relying on external locks for holding.
Mold Alignment Stops
Setting precise lower mold limits on heavy injection machinery, using the 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa to seat components before the clamp engages.
Replacing the Airtac SIJ160 Double Rod Adjustable Cylinder SIJ160X100-30 with the SAIJ160X100-30
To replace the discontinued SIJ160X100-30, order the drop-in SAIJ160X100-30, reusing your existing ISO 15552 FA, LB, or TC mounts. To scale force, the neighboring 125 mm bore yields 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 200 mm bore yields 15708 N. The 30 mm adjust window is ideal for precise end-position tuning without machining. Because this SKU has no -S magnet, sensing is impossible. The external stop sets the end position but is not a lock; for load holding on air loss, specify an external rod lock or a SAIL/BSAI variant. For strokes >=300 mm, verify side-load guidance to prevent rod binding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAIJ160X100-30
- ✓ 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 SIJ160X100-30 FAQ
Yes, the SIJ160X100-30 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAIJ160X100-30, which shares the identical ISO 15552 interface, 160 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, 30 mm adjust window, G3/4 port, and mounting options. The SAIJ features an upgraded two Y-shaped one-way 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, with a theoretical max of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The external stop screw provides a 30 mm adjustment window, allowing you to shorten the 100 mm nominal extend stroke down to 70 mm on-site. The stop sets end position and is not a load lock.
