The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ100AX120-50S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 120mm stroke, G1/2 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 SAIJ100X120-50-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It delivers 3927N of push force at 0.5MPa and features a 120mm nominal stroke that can be fine-tuned down by up to 50mm, yielding a usable travel window of 70-120mm. This built-in adjustability allows operators to dial in exact retract end positions during commissioning without adding external stopper blocks.
This SKU includes a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod for improved corrosion resistance and a magnetic piston for position sensing. The extruded aluminum barrel carries sensor grooves on both sides, supporting AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic switches. Fluid ports are PT tapered G1/2, and the standard variable air cushion at both ends manages end-of-stroke deceleration.

Quickly modify the retract end position within the 70-120mm window during packaging format changes without replacing hardware.
Fine-tune the final resting position of heavy actuators at commissioning to achieve exact alignment without external stoppers.
Provide adaptable retract limits for automated assembly stations requiring frequent adjustments to accommodate different part sizes.
Choose this 100mm bore when an application requires substantial thrust, stepping up from a 63mm bore that provides 1559N at 0.5MPa. The adjustable stroke is ideal for product changeovers on a line, letting you shift the retract stop within the 70-120mm window rather than swapping the entire cylinder for a fixed-stroke SAI unit. To match this cylinder for an ISO 15552 replacement, specify the 100mm bore, 120mm stroke, 50mm adjustment, PT G1/2 port, and the -S magnet.
Because the rear adjuster acts only as a mechanical stop and the air cushion provides deceleration, neither will hold a load securely without live air pressure. For true load-holding requirements, consider an external rod lock or the AirTAC SAIL pneumatic lock cylinder. The 25mm rod and M20x1.5 thread offer robust side-load capacity, though any stroke over 300mm would still require an external guide.
Quick checklist
At 0.5MPa operating pressure, this 100mm bore cylinder provides 3927N of push force and 3681N of pull force. At 0.7MPa, the push force increases to 5497N.
The rear adjuster screw allows you to shorten the 120mm nominal stroke by up to 50mm, creating a usable travel window of 70-120mm. It functions as a mechanical stop and does not lock the load without air pressure.
