This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is SAIJ80X500-100S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the SAIJ80X500-100S 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.

The AirTAC Airtac SIJ80 Dual Axis Adjustable Cylinder SIJ80X500-100S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 500mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the SAIJ80X500-100S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SIJ80X500-100S is a discontinued double-acting single-rod ISO 15552 adjustable-stroke cylinder with a 500 mm nominal stroke. An external stop screw lets you trim the extend stroke by up to 100 mm on-site, yielding a usable 400-500 mm window. The 80 mm bore uses a G3/8 port, a 25 mm rod, and 36 mm adjustable cushions. This SIJ model is discontinued; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAIJ80X500-100S, sharing the same interface, force, and mounting.
Force output is substantial: push 2513 N and pull 2268 N at 0.5 MPa, reaching 4523 N at 0.9 MPa. A practical computed insight sets the safe working load near 1508 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa push), translating to a 128 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The SAIJ upgrade introduces a two-piece Y-shaped piston seal for lower start-up pressure and longer life. Remember the stop screw sets end position only; it is not a load lock, so use an external rod lock for held loads.

The SAIJ80X500-100S 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.

Legacy SI-family variants: SID (double rod), SIJ (adjustable stroke) — each maps to its SAI equivalent (SID→SAID, SIJ→SAIJ). Rod material: carbon steel (blank) / SUS420J2 (A) / SUS304 (B).
Assembly presses needing field stroke tuning to accommodate multiple part heights without swapping cylinders.
Routing actuators on packaging lines where the extend end position requires periodic 100 mm retraction tuning.
Palletizing end-effectors that need precise extend-stop adjustments for varying carton depths on the fly.
To replace the discontinued SIJ80X500-100S, specify SAIJ80X500-100S directly—it is a drop-in match for the ISO 15552 dimensions, G3/8 port, and 100 mm adjust window. If sizing both ways, the neighboring 63 mm bore yields 2182 N push at 0.7 MPa, while the 100 mm bore yields 5497 N. Choose the 100 mm adjust window if your end-position tuning requires the full 400-500 mm range. Mounting options include FA, LB, and TC brackets. The -S suffix means a piston magnet is present for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. Because the stroke is 500 mm, ensure external guides carry side loads to prevent rod bending.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SIJ80X500-100S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAIJ80X500-100S. It shares the identical ISO 15552 interface, 80 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, 100 mm adjust window, G3/8 port, and mounting options, but features an upgraded piston seal.
The 80 mm bore delivers 2513 N push and 2268 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 3518 N at 0.7 MPa, and 4523 N at 0.9 MPa. The external stop screw provides a 100 mm adjust window, allowing the 500 mm extend stroke to be shortened on-site down to 400 mm. The stop sets end position only and does not lock the load.
