This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is SAIJ80X250-30 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the SAIJ80X250-30 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 SIJ80X250-30
The AirTAC Airtac SIJ80 Dual Axis Adjustable Cylinder SIJ80X250-30 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 250mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the SAIJ80X250-30, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SIJ80 Dual Axis Adjustable Cylinder SIJ80X250-30
The AirTAC SIJ80X250-30 is a discontinued double-acting single-rod ISO 15552 adjustable-stroke cylinder with an 80 mm bore, 250 mm maximum stroke, and a 30 mm external stop-screw window. This allows you to trim the extend stroke on-site down to 220 mm. The bore dictates a G3/8 port, a 25 mm piston rod, and 36 mm adjustable air cushions. Because SIJ is end-of-life, the exact drop-in replacement is the SAIJ80X250-30, which preserves the ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, force, and adjust window.
At 0.5 MPa this bore delivers 2513 N push and 2268 N pull force (4523 N push at 0.9 MPa). A practical computed insight: a safe working load is roughly 1508 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa push), and a vertical lift with a 2:1 margin is about 128 kg. The SAIJ upgrade incorporates a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for lower start-up pressure and longer life. Remember the stop screw sets the end position but is not a load lock; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve 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 SAIJ80X250-30 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 SIJ80X250-30 Is Used
Press Fit Tuning
Trimming the extend stroke by up to 30 mm on-site lets operators set precise press-fit depths for bearings without changing the entire actuator.
Variable Length Diverter
Adjusting the extend stop from 220 to 250 mm accommodates changing package sizes on a sorting line without repositioning the cylinder mount.
Pallet Stop Calibration
Fine-tuning the end position provides a calibrated mechanical stop for pallets of varying widths, ensuring consistent placement before wrapping.
Replacing the Airtac SIJ80 Dual Axis Adjustable Cylinder SIJ80X250-30 with the SAIJ80X250-30
To replace the discontinued SIJ80X250-30, order the drop-in SAIJ80X250-30, keeping the same 30 mm adjust window and 250 mm nominal stroke. To size both ways, the neighbouring 63 mm bore yields 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 100 mm bore yields 3927 N push. Reuse your existing FA, LB, or TC ISO 15552 mounts. This SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept a magnetic switch; add external sensors if needed. For strokes of 300 mm or longer, verify side-load guidance to prevent rod distortion. The 30 mm adjust window is ideal for fine-tuning the extend endpoint without machining spacers.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAIJ80X250-30
- ✓ 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 SIJ80X250-30 FAQ
Yes, the SIJ80X250-30 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAIJ80X250-30. It shares the same ISO 15552 interface, 80 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, 30 mm adjust window, G3/8 port, and mounting options, while adding an upgraded piston seal.
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. The external stop screw offers a 30 mm adjust window, allowing the extend stroke to be shortened from the 250 mm maximum down to 220 mm. The stop sets end position and is not a load lock.
