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

About the Airtac SIJ160 Double Rod Adjustable Cylinder SIJ160X1000-40S
The AirTAC SIJ160X1000-40S 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 40 mm on-site, giving a usable extend range of 960-1000 mm from the 1000 mm nominal maximum. The 160 mm bore uses a G3/4 port, a Ø40 mm rod with M36x2 thread, and 50 mm adjustable air cushions. It delivers 10053 N push and 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa, peaking at 18095 N push at 0.9 MPa.
This exact model is discontinued; the drop-in replacement is the SAIJ160X1000-40S, retaining the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, adjust window, and force. The SAIJ family upgrades the piston seal to two Y-shaped one-way elements for lower start-up pressure and longer life. For sizing, a safe working load is approximately 6032 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa push), yielding a vertical lift capacity of roughly 512 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note the stop screw sets end position only—it is not a load lock; use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant for held loads.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAIJ160X1000-40S 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 SAIJ160X1000-40S 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 SIJ160X1000-40S Is Used
Heavy Press Tonnage Calibration
Dial in the exact bottom dead center of a 1000 mm press stroke by trimming the extend up to 40 mm on-site, ensuring precise material forming without re-engineering the fixture.
Large Format Diverting
Adjust the extend endpoint on-site to handle varying pallet widths on a heavy-duty conveyor line, using the 160 mm bore's 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa to retract the diverter reliably.
Pallet Positioning Stops
Set precise physical end stops for oversized pallets in a high-throughput facility, tweaking the 960-1000 mm usable stroke to accommodate different load depths without changing cylinders.
Replacing the Airtac SIJ160 Double Rod Adjustable Cylinder SIJ160X1000-40S with the SAIJ160X1000-40S
To replace the discontinued SIJ160X1000-40S, order the drop-in SAIJ160X1000-40S, which preserves the G3/4 port, M36x2 rod thread, 50 mm cushion, and ISO 15552 mounting footprint. If re-sizing, the neighboring 125 mm bore yields 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 200 mm bore yields 15708 N push at 0.5 MPa. The 40 mm adjust window is ideal for fine-tuning the extend end position within the 960-1000 mm range without machining. Mounting options include Basic, FA, LB, and TC brackets. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches (the SAIJ replacement uses current AirTAC switches). Because the stroke is 1000 mm, always support the rod against side-load bending and use external guides to prevent premature wear.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAIJ160X1000-40S
- ✓ 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 SIJ160X1000-40S FAQ
Yes, the SIJ160X1000-40S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAIJ160X1000-40S. It shares the identical ISO 15552 interface, 160 mm bore, 1000 mm stroke, 40 mm adjust window, G3/4 port, and force ratings. The SAIJ upgrade features an improved two-piece Y-shaped piston seal for lower start-up pressure and longer life.
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, with a theoretical max of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The external stop screw provides a 40 mm adjustment window, allowing the extend stroke to be shortened on-site from the 1000 mm maximum down to 960 mm. The stop sets end position only and does not hold the load on air loss.
