This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is SAIJ80X160-40 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the SAIJ80X160-40 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 SIJ80 Dual Axis Adjustable Cylinder SIJ80X160-40
The AirTAC Airtac SIJ80 Dual Axis Adjustable Cylinder SIJ80X160-40 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 160mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the SAIJ80X160-40, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SIJ80 Dual Axis Adjustable Cylinder SIJ80X160-40
The AirTAC SIJ80X160-40 is a double-acting single-rod ISO 15552 adjustable-stroke cylinder. This discontinued unit uses an external stop screw to trim the extend stroke by up to 40 mm on-site, yielding a usable 120-160 mm extension out of the 160 mm nominal maximum. It features a 25 mm rod, M20x1.5 thread, 36 mm adjustable air cushions, a G3/8 port, and operates at 30-800 mm/s. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAIJ80X160-40, matching the bore, stroke, force, and mounting interface.
At 0.5 MPa it delivers 2513 N push and 2268 N pull force, peaking at 4523 N push at 0.9 MPa. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 1508 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa push), translating to a 128 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The SAIJ successor reuses your ISO 15552 mounting and adds an upgraded two-piece Y-shaped piston seal for lower start-up pressure. This SKU lacks a -S magnet, so it cannot accept position sensors. The stop screw sets end position only; 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 SAIJ80X160-40 carries the same ISO 15552 ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø80mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 2513 N | 2268 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 3519 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 513 kgf | |
The SAIJ80X160-40 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 SIJ80 Dual Axis Adjustable Cylinder SIJ80X160-40 Is Used
Variable Pitch Forming
Sheet metal lines needing field stroke tuning to accommodate different bend depths without swapping the entire actuator.
Adjustable Transfer Stops
Diverters on packaging conveyors requiring precise extend endpoint adjustments on-site for varying carton lengths.
Tiered Pallet Positioning
End-of-line pallet handling where the external stop screw sets different push heights for mixed-load stacking.
Replacing the Airtac SIJ80 Dual Axis Adjustable Cylinder SIJ80X160-40 with the SAIJ80X160-40
To replace the discontinued SIJ80X160-40, order the exact drop-in SAIJ80X160-40, keeping the 160 mm nominal stroke and 40 mm adjust window (120-160 mm usable extend). If resizing, the neighboring 63 mm bore yields 2182 N push at 0.7 MPa, while the 100 mm bore yields 5497 N push at 0.7 MPa. Reuse existing FA, LB, or TC ISO 15552 mounts. Because this SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot support legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors; add external physical switches if detection is required. For strokes of 300 mm or longer, verify side-load limits to prevent guide wear. Remember the stop screw merely sets the end position and does not hold loads on air loss—specify a SAIL or BSAI lock variant if load holding is needed.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAIJ80X160-40
- ✓ Same bore / stroke / force
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/G/NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Mounting reused (FA/FB/CA/CB/CR/LB/TC)
Airtac SIJ80 Dual Axis Adjustable Cylinder SIJ80X160-40 FAQ
