This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is SAIJ160X1000-30 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the SAIJ160X1000-30 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 SIJ160X1000-30
The AirTAC Airtac SIJ160 Double Rod Adjustable Cylinder SIJ160X1000-30 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 SAIJ160X1000-30, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SIJ160 Double Rod Adjustable Cylinder SIJ160X1000-30
The AirTAC SIJ160X1000-30 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 970-1000 mm window from the 1000 mm nominal maximum. This 160 mm bore delivers 10053 N push and 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa, peaking at 18095 N at 0.9 MPa. It features a 40 mm rod, M36x2 thread, 50 mm adjustable cushions, and a G3/4 port.
The exact drop-in replacement is the SAIJ160X1000-30, matching the interface, force, and mounting. The SAIJ upgrade uses a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. As a computed buyer insight, a safe working load is roughly 6032 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa push), yielding a 512 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Note this SKU lacks a -S magnet and cannot take a switch; the stop screw sets end position but is not a load lock.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAIJ160X1000-30 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 SAIJ160X1000-30 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 SIJ160X1000-30 Is Used
Heavy Press End-Position Tuning
Trimming the extend stroke by up to 30 mm on-site allows precise calibration of pressing force without disassembling a heavy-duty 160 mm bore press line.
Palletizer Stroke Calibration
A 1000 mm stroke handling 512 kg vertical loads can be fine-tuned by 30 mm to match varying pallet heights, ensuring exact placement without reprogramming.
Large Mold Ejection Setup
Adjusting the extend stop on-site lets operators set the exact 970-1000 mm ejection point for oversized molds, avoiding hard mechanical crashes.
Replacing the Airtac SIJ160 Double Rod Adjustable Cylinder SIJ160X1000-30 with the SAIJ160X1000-30
To replace the discontinued SIJ160X1000-30, order the drop-in SAIJ160X1000-30, reusing your existing ISO 15552 FA, LB, or TC mounts. Size both ways: the 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 fine-tuning the extend end position without machining. Because this SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot support legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. For the 1000 mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load damage. The stop screw is not a lock; for load holding on air loss, use an external rod lock or the SAIL/BSAI variants.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAIJ160X1000-30
- ✓ Same bore / stroke / force
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/G/NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Mounting reused (FA/FB/CA/CB/CR/LB/TC)
