This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is SAIJ160X1000-10S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the SAIJ160X1000-10S 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 SIJ160X1000-10S
The AirTAC Airtac SIJ160 Double Rod Adjustable Cylinder SIJ160X1000-10S 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 SAIJ160X1000-10S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SIJ160 Double Rod Adjustable Cylinder SIJ160X1000-10S
The AirTAC SIJ160X1000-10S is a discontinued double-acting single-rod ISO 15552 adjustable-stroke cylinder featuring a 160mm bore, 40mm rod, and G3/4 port. An external stop screw lets you trim the extend stroke by up to 10mm on-site, giving a usable extend range of 990-1000mm where 1000mm is the maximum. It delivers 10053N push and 9425N pull at 0.5MPa, rising to 18095N push at 0.9MPa, alongside 50mm adjustable cushions.
As this SIJ series is end-of-life, the exact drop-in replacement is the SAIJ160X1000-10S, 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. The stop screw sets end position but is not a lock; for held loads use SAIL or BSAI variants. Based on the 0.5MPa push force, the safe working load is about 6032N (60% of 10053N), yielding a vertical lift capacity of roughly 512kg with a 2:1 margin.

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 SAIJ160X1000-10S 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 SIJ160X1000-10S Is Used
Heavy Press Fine-Tuning
Trimming the extend stroke by up to 10mm on-site to set exact contact pressure on large fabrication presses without machining spacers.
Pallet Stop Positioning
Adjusting the 990-1000mm extend stop point in 10mm increments to accommodate varying pallet lengths on a heavy-duty transfer line.
Large Fixture Alignment
Dialing in the final extend position of a 160mm bore clamping fixture during installation to ensure precise component mating.
Replacing the Airtac SIJ160 Double Rod Adjustable Cylinder SIJ160X1000-10S with the SAIJ160X1000-10S
To replace the discontinued SIJ160X1000-10S, specify SAIJ160X1000-10S for an exact drop-in match. When sizing both ways, the 125mm bore provides 6136N push at 0.5MPa, while the 200mm bore offers 15708N. The 10mm adjust window is ideal for fine-tuning the 990-1000mm extend position. Reuse FA, LB, or TC mounts via the ISO 15552 interface. The -S suffix denotes a piston magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B switches; the SAIJ uses current switches. At 1000mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending and manage side loads. The stop sets position, not a load lock.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAIJ160X1000-10S
- ✓ 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 SIJ160X1000-10S FAQ
Yes, the SIJ160X1000-10S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAIJ160X1000-10S, offering the same ISO 15552 interface, 160mm bore, 1000mm stroke, 10mm adjust window, G3/4 port, and 18095N push force at 0.9MPa. The SAIJ features an upgraded two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for longer life.
The 160mm bore delivers 10053N push and 9425N pull at 0.5MPa, 14074N push at 0.7MPa, 18095N push at 0.9MPa, and a theoretical max of 2050 kgf at 1.0MPa. The external stop screw provides a 10mm adjust window, allowing the extend stroke to be shortened from the 1000mm maximum down to 990mm. The stop sets end position and is not a load lock.
