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

About the Airtac SIJ160 Double Rod Adjustable Cylinder SIJ160X1000-30S
The AirTAC SIJ160X1000-30S is a discontinued double-acting single-rod ISO 15552 adjustable-stroke cylinder. A 40mm rod and G3/4 port handle 10053N push and 9425N pull at 0.5MPa. The external stop screw lets you trim the extend stroke by up to 30mm on-site (usable 970-1000mm), setting the end position precisely without adding external stops. It is NOT a load lock.
The exact drop-in replacement is the SAIJ160X1000-30S, retaining the 1000mm max stroke, 50mm cushions, and mounting. The SAIJ upgrade uses a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. Computed buyer insight: safe working load is ~6032N (60% of the 0.5MPa push), yielding a ~512kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. For held loads use SAIL or BSAI lock variants, as air cushions only decelerate.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAIJ160X1000-30S 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 SAIJ160X1000-30S 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 SIJ160X1000-30S Is Used
Heavy Press Tonnage Calibration
Trim the 1000mm extend stroke by up to 30mm on-site to set precise heavy-press contact points without re-engineering the fixed ISO 15552 mounting interface.
Large Format Material Stops
Adjust the end position dynamically for varying oversized product lengths on a conveyor, using the 18095N push force at 0.9MPa to halt heavy loads securely.
Pallet Positioning Arms
Fine-tune the extend stroke within the 970-1000mm window for pallet engagement arms, ensuring exact alignment without needing mechanical spacers.
Replacing the Airtac SIJ160 Double Rod Adjustable Cylinder SIJ160X1000-30S with the SAIJ160X1000-30S
Replace the SIJ160X1000-30S directly with the SAIJ160X1000-30S; the ISO 15552 interface, 160mm bore, 1000mm stroke, 30mm adjust window, G3/4 port, and FA/LB/TC mountings are identical. To size both ways, the neighboring 125mm bore yields 6136N push at 0.5MPa, while the 200mm bore yields 15708N. Choose the 30mm adjust window when you need on-site extend trimming between 970-1000mm. The -S suffix means a piston magnet is present for CS1-B/DS1-B switches (the SAIJ uses current AirTAC switches). At 1000mm stroke, mind side-load and rod-bending forces—use external guides to prevent binding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAIJ160X1000-30S
- ✓ 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 SIJ160X1000-30S FAQ
Yes, the SIJ160X1000-30S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAIJ160X1000-30S. It shares the same ISO 15552 interface, 160mm bore, 1000mm max stroke, 30mm adjust window, G3/4 port, and mountings. The SAIJ features an upgraded two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for lower start-up pressure and longer life.
The 160mm bore provides 10053N push and 9425N pull at 0.5MPa, 14074N push at 0.7MPa, 18095N push at 0.9MPa, and 2050kgf max at 1.0MPa. The external stop screw allows trimming the extend stroke by up to 30mm on-site (usable 970-1000mm). The stop sets end position but is NOT a load lock; use SAIL/BSAI variants or an external rod lock for held loads.
