This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is SAIJ160X1000-40 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the SAIJ160X1000-40 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 SIJ160X1000-40
The AirTAC Airtac SIJ160 Double Rod Adjustable Cylinder SIJ160X1000-40 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 SAIJ160X1000-40, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SIJ160 Double Rod Adjustable Cylinder SIJ160X1000-40
The AirTAC SIJ160X1000-40 is a discontinued double-acting single-rod ISO 15552 adjustable-stroke cylinder with a 160mm bore and 1000mm maximum extend. An external stop screw lets you trim the extend stroke by up to 40mm on-site, yielding a usable 960-1000mm stroke window. It delivers 10053N push and 9425N pull at 0.5MPa, scaling to 18095N push at 0.9MPa, and uses a G3/4 port with a 50mm adjustable cushion at each end. As a plain non-magnetic SKU, it cannot accept a position switch.
The exact drop-in replacement is the SAIJ160X1000-40, preserving the ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, force, and port. The SAIJ upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for lower start-up pressure and longer life. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 6032N (60% of the 0.5MPa push), giving a vertical-lift capacity of about 512kg with a 2:1 margin. Note the stop screw sets end position only—it is not a load lock; for held loads use an external rod lock or the SAIL/BSAI variants.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAIJ160X1000-40 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 SAIJ160X1000-40 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 SIJ160X1000-40 Is Used
Large Press Tonnage
Provides up to 18095N of push force at 0.9MPa for heavy pressing, with the 40mm stop screw allowing precise final position tuning without remounting.
Long-Transfer Diverter
Handles 1000mm extend strokes to push heavy pallets off a line, where the external stop compensates for varying product lengths on-site.
High-Capacity Lift Station
Lifts loads up to 512kg vertically using a 2:1 safety margin against the 0.5MPa thrust, requiring external guides to prevent rod bending over the long stroke.
Replacing the Airtac SIJ160 Double Rod Adjustable Cylinder SIJ160X1000-40 with the SAIJ160X1000-40
To replace this discontinued unit, order the SAIJ160X1000-40, which matches the 160mm bore, 1000mm nominal stroke, 40mm adjust window, and G3/4 port exactly. If re-sizing, a 125mm bore yields 8590N push at 0.7MPa, while a 200mm bore yields 21991N push at 0.7MPa. Select the 40mm adjust window if you need 960-1000mm of extend travel; for larger trims up to 100mm, choose a corresponding SAIJ suffix. Mounting options include FA, LB, and TC brackets. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot use legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. At 1000mm stroke, prevent rod bending by ensuring external guides carry side loads. The stop screw only sets end position and does not hold loads on air loss—use SAIL/BSAI or a pilot-operated check valve for that.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAIJ160X1000-40
- ✓ 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 SIJ160X1000-40 FAQ
Yes, the SIJ160X1000-40 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAIJ160X1000-40, which shares the identical ISO 15552 interface, 160mm bore, 1000mm stroke, 40mm adjust window, and G3/4 port. The SAIJ family also upgrades the piston seal to a two Y-shaped one-way element design for longer life.
The double-acting single-rod force ratings are 10053N push and 9425N pull at 0.5MPa, 14074N push at 0.7MPa, and 18095N push at 0.9MPa. The external stop screw provides a 40mm adjustment window, allowing you to trim the 1000mm maximum extend stroke down to 960mm on-site. The stop sets end position only and is not a load lock.
