This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is SAIJ160X1000-20 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the SAIJ160X1000-20 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 SIJ160X1000-20
The AirTAC Airtac SIJ160 Double Rod Adjustable Cylinder SIJ160X1000-20 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 SAIJ160X1000-20, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SIJ160 Double Rod Adjustable Cylinder SIJ160X1000-20
The AirTAC SIJ160X1000-20 is a discontinued double-acting single-rod ISO 15552 adjustable-stroke cylinder with a 160 mm bore and 1000 mm maximum extend stroke. An external stop screw lets you trim the extend stroke by up to 20 mm on-site, yielding a usable 980-1000 mm window. The G3/4 port and M36x2 rod end deliver 10053 N push and 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa, peaking at 18095 N push at 0.9 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAIJ160X1000-20, matching the bore, stroke, force, and mounting.
For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 6032 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa push force), translating to a vertical lift capacity of approximately 512 kg with a 2:1 margin. The SAIJ successor introduces an upgraded two-piece Y-shaped piston seal for lower start-up pressure and longer life. Remember the stop screw only sets the end position; it is not a load lock, so use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant for held loads.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAIJ160X1000-20 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 SAIJ160X1000-20 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 SIJ160X1000-20 Is Used
Heavy Press Trim
Fine-tune the 1000 mm extend stroke by up to 20 mm on-site to set precise bottoming pressure without re-plumbing the press.
Pallet Stop Adjustment
Adjust the end position slightly to accommodate varying pallet lengths while utilizing the full 18095 N push force at 0.9 MPa.
Vertical Lift Limit
Set a safe 980 mm extend ceiling for a 512 kg vertical lift rig, ensuring the external stop prevents over-travel.
Replacing the Airtac SIJ160 Double Rod Adjustable Cylinder SIJ160X1000-20 with the SAIJ160X1000-20
To replace the discontinued SIJ160X1000-20, order the drop-in SAIJ160X1000-20, which retains the identical ISO 15552 interface, G3/4 port, and 50 mm adjustable cushions. When sizing both ways, the neighbouring 125 mm bore yields 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 200 mm bore yields 15708 N push; this 160 mm bore provides 10053 N at 0.5 MPa. The -20 mm adjust window is ideal if you only need micro-trimming of the extend stroke. Mounting options include Basic, FA, LB, and TC. Because this SKU lacks a -S suffix, it cannot accept a magnetic switch. Finally, at 1000 mm stroke, mind the side-load and rod-bending risks; always use external guides to prevent deflection.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAIJ160X1000-20
- ✓ 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 SIJ160X1000-20 FAQ
Yes, the SIJ160X1000-20 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAIJ160X1000-20, offering the same ISO 15552 interface, 160 mm bore, 1000 mm stroke, 20 mm adjust window, G3/4 port, and mounting options.
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. The external stop screw window is 20 mm, allowing you to trim the extend stroke from 1000 mm down to 980 mm. The stop sets end position only and is not a load lock.
