This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is SAIJ80X180-50 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the SAIJ80X180-50 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 SIJ80X180-50
The AirTAC Airtac SIJ80 Dual Axis Adjustable Cylinder SIJ80X180-50 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 180mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the SAIJ80X180-50, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SIJ80 Dual Axis Adjustable Cylinder SIJ80X180-50
The AirTAC SIJ80X180-50 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 50 mm on-site, yielding a usable 130-180 mm extend window from the 180 mm nominal maximum. The 80 mm bore (G3/8 port, M20x1.5 rod) delivers 2513 N push and 2268 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 4523 N at 0.9 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAIJ80X180-50, retaining the same interface, force, and adjust window.
This SKU lacks a -S magnet and cannot take a switch. The SAIJ upgrade uses a two-piece Y-shaped piston seal for lower start-up pressure and longer life. Computed insight: safe working load is ~1508 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa push), allowing a ~128 kg vertical lift at a 2:1 margin. The stop screw sets end position only; it is not a load lock, so use an external rod lock for held loads.

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 SAIJ80X180-50 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 SIJ80X180-50 Is Used
Press Fit Tuning
Dialing in the exact insertion depth of a bearing press where 130-180 mm of travel is needed and the final 50 mm requires on-site stop adjustment.
Diverter Positioning
Setting a specific extended reject-arm position on a packaging line, allowing 50 mm of field trim to accommodate different product widths.
Pallet Stop Adjustment
Acting as an adjustable end-stop for varying pallet sizes, trimming the extend stroke by up to 50 mm to avoid machine redesign.
Replacing the Airtac SIJ80 Dual Axis Adjustable Cylinder SIJ80X180-50 with the SAIJ80X180-50
To replace the discontinued SIJ80X180-50, order the drop-in SAIJ80X180-50, reusing your FA, LB, or TC ISO 15552 mounts. The 50 mm adjust window is ideal if your end position needs on-site tuning between 130 and 180 mm. Sizing both ways: the neighbouring 63 mm bore gives 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 100 mm bore gives 3927 N. This non-magnetic SKU cannot fit legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. For stroke lengths of 300 mm or more, verify the rod-end side-load limits to prevent guide wear. Operating speed is 30-800 mm/s.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAIJ80X180-50
- ✓ 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 SIJ80X180-50 FAQ
Yes, the SIJ80X180-50 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAIJ80X180-50. It shares the identical ISO 15552 interface, 80 mm bore, 180 mm stroke, 50 mm adjust window, G3/8 port, and 4523 N push force at 0.9 MPa. The SAIJ family also features an upgraded two-piece Y-shaped piston seal for lower start-up pressure and longer life.
The 80 mm bore provides 2513 N push and 2268 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 3518 N push at 0.7 MPa, and 4523 N push at 0.9 MPa, with a theoretical max of 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The external stop screw provides a 50 mm adjust window, meaning the 180 mm nominal extend stroke can be shortened on-site to a minimum of 130 mm. The stop sets the end position and is not a load lock.
