This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is SAIJ160X1000-10 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the SAIJ160X1000-10 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 SIJ160X1000-10
The AirTAC Airtac SIJ160 Double Rod Adjustable Cylinder SIJ160X1000-10 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 1000mm stroke, G3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the SAIJ160X1000-10, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SIJ160 Double Rod Adjustable Cylinder SIJ160X1000-10
The AirTAC SIJ160X1000-10 is a discontinued double-acting single-rod ISO 15552 adjustable-stroke cylinder with a 160mm bore and 1000mm maximum extend stroke. An external stop screw lets you trim the extend stroke by up to 10mm on-site, yielding a usable 990-1000mm window. The G3/4 port and 40mm rod deliver 10053N push and 9425N pull at 0.5MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAIJ160X1000-10, matching the interface, force, and mounting.
The SAIJ upgrade features a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. For sizing, a safe working load is ~6032N (60% of the 0.5MPa push), allowing a ~512kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Note this SKU lacks a -S magnet, so it cannot take a switch. The stop screw sets end position but is not a lock; for held loads use SAIL or an external rod lock.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAIJ160X1000-10 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 SAIJ160X1000-10 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 SIJ160X1000-10 Is Used
Heavy Press Tonnage
Delivers 18095N push at 0.9MPa for large press operations, with the 10mm stop screw allowing final position trimming to seat heavy components accurately.
Mold Handling
Moves substantial molds along a 1000mm path where the external stop fine-tunes the extend endpoint to match varying mold heights without re-plumbing.
Pallet Positioning
Indexes heavy pallets in automated storage, using the adjustable end-stop to compensate for pallet thickness variations at the end of the 1000mm travel.
Replacing the Airtac SIJ160 Double Rod Adjustable Cylinder SIJ160X1000-10 with the SAIJ160X1000-10
To replace the discontinued SIJ160X1000-10, order the exact drop-in SAIJ160X1000-10, keeping the 10mm adjust window (990-1000mm usable stroke) and G3/4 port. For force sizing, this 160mm bore yields 10053N push at 0.5MPa; the 125mm neighbor provides 6136N, while the 200mm offers 15708N. Reuse ISO 15552 FA, LB, or TC mounts. Because the 1000mm stroke invites rod bending, use external guides to manage side loads. This non-magnetic SKU cannot accept switches; for load holding on air loss, select the SAIL or BSAI lock variant instead of relying on the cushion.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAIJ160X1000-10
- ✓ 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 SIJ160X1000-10 FAQ
Yes, the SIJ160X1000-10 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAIJ160X1000-10, which shares the identical ISO 15552 interface, 160mm bore, 1000mm stroke, 10mm adjust window, G3/4 port, and mounting options. The SAIJ family also adds an upgraded two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for lower start-up pressure and longer life.
The 160mm bore single-rod design provides 10053N push and 9425N pull at 0.5MPa, 14074N push at 0.7MPa, 18095N push at 0.9MPa, and a 2050kgf theoretical max at 1.0MPa. The external stop screw provides a 10mm adjustment window, shortening the 1000mm nominal extend stroke down to 990mm on-site. The stop sets end position only; it is not a load lock.
