The AirTAC Airtac Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ32 SAIJ32AX290-30 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 290mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its standardized mounting interface makes it a drop-in replacement for other ISO 15552 cylinders in automation lines.
The AirTAC SAIJ32X290-30 is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It provides a nominal 290 mm stroke that can be dialed back by up to 30 mm, yielding a precise 260-290 mm usable travel window. Delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it suits light-duty positioning tasks. The extruded aluminum barrel features sensor grooves on both sides, though this unit lacks the -S magnet option for CMSE or DMSE switches.
This model features a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (material code A) for improved corrosion resistance compared to standard carbon steel. It uses PT tapered port threads (G1/8) and includes adjustable air cushions at both ends to decelerate the moving load. The rear stopper acts purely as a travel end setter, not a lock, so continuous air pressure is required to hold the load in place.

Dial in the exact 260-290 mm retract position during initial commissioning to perfectly align a pick-and-place head without machining custom spacers.
Quickly adjust the end-stop by up to 30 mm on a packaging line when switching between different product lengths, minimizing downtime.
Leverage the 402 N push force to move small components into a testing fixture, using the built-in air cushions to ensure smooth, impact-free stops.
Choose this 32 mm bore when an application requires roughly 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa; if you need less force, step down to a smaller bore, or step up to a 40 mm bore (628 N push) for heavier payloads. An adjustable-stroke cylinder is selected over a fixed-stroke SAI when you need to fine-tune the retract end position during commissioning or product changeover without adding external stops. For load-holding without live air pressure, this cylinder is insufficient since the adjuster is only a stop—consider an SAIL or BSAI model instead.
When matching this ISO 15552 cylinder for a replacement, verify the 290 mm stroke, 30 mm adjustment range, PT port thread, and mounting style. SAIJ supports a specific mounting subset: Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. Because the 290 mm stroke is relatively long for a 32 mm bore, the 12 mm rod and M10x1.25 rod thread have limited side-load capacity; always use an external guide rail to prevent rod binding and premature seal wear.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 32 mm bore cylinder provides 402 N of push force and 345 N of pull force. It can reach up to 724 N of push force at 0.9 MPa.
The rear adjuster screw allows you to shorten the effective stroke by up to 30 mm, creating a 260-290 mm travel window. It functions as a mechanical stop to set the end position and does not lock the load without live air pressure.
