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

About the Airtac SIJ160 Double Rod Adjustable Cylinder SIJ160X100-30SFA
The AirTAC SIJ160X100-30SFA is a discontinued double-acting single-rod ISO 15552 adjustable-stroke cylinder with a 160mm bore, 100mm nominal stroke, and an FA foot mount. An external stop screw lets you trim the extend stroke by up to 30mm on-site, giving a usable extend range of 70-100mm. The G3/4 port and 50mm adjustable cushions handle the 18095N push force at 0.9MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAIJ160X100-30SFA, matching the interface, bore, stroke, force, and port.
The SAIJ upgrade uses an upgraded two-piece Y-shaped piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. For sizing, the safe working load is roughly 6032N (60% of the 10053N push at 0.5MPa), yielding a vertical lift capacity of about 512kg with a 2:1 margin. The -S magnet supports legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. The stop screw sets end position but is not a lock; use SAIL or BSAI for load holding.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAIJ160X100-30SFA carries the same ISO 15552 ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
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 SAIJ160X100-30SFA 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 SIJ160X100-30SFA Is Used
Press Fit Tuning
Trimming the extend stroke by up to 30mm on-site allows precise depth control when pressing bearings without changing the 100mm nominal cylinder stroke.
Divertor Adjustment
Field-tuning the extend stop lets operators alter the divert position by up to 30mm to accommodate varying package sizes on the fly.
Pallet Stop Positioning
The adjustable end position provides a 70-100mm extend window to set pallet stops accurately without adding external mechanical spacers.
Replacing the Airtac SIJ160 Double Rod Adjustable Cylinder SIJ160X100-30SFA with the SAIJ160X100-30SFA
To replace the discontinued SIJ160X100-30SFA, order the drop-in SAIJ160X100-30SFA, keeping the same FA foot mount, G3/4 port, and 30mm adjust window. When sizing both ways, the neighboring 125mm bore yields 6136N push at 0.5MPa, while the 200mm bore yields 15708N. The 160mm bore provides 10053N push and 9425N pull at 0.5MPa. The 30mm adjust window is ideal for fine-tuning the extend end position without machining. The -S magnet works with legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. Because the 100mm stroke is under 300mm, side-load rod deflection is minimal. Remember the stop screw is not a load lock; for held loads, specify SAIL, BSAI, or an external rod lock.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAIJ160X100-30SFA
- ✓ 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 SIJ160X100-30SFA FAQ
Yes, the SIJ160X100-30SFA is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAIJ160X100-30SFA, which matches the ISO 15552 interface, 160mm bore, 100mm stroke, 30mm adjust window, G3/4 port, and FA mount.
The double-acting single-rod cylinder pushes 10053N and pulls 9425N at 0.5MPa, pushing 14074N at 0.7MPa and 18095N at 0.9MPa, with a theoretical max of 2050kgf. The external stop screw trims the extend stroke by up to 30mm on-site (usable 70-100mm). The stop sets end position and is not a load lock.
