The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ100AX165-100S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 165mm 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 SAIJ100X165-100-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that allows you to trim the effective travel down to a 65-165 mm window. Delivering 5497 N of push force at 0.7 MPa, it handles heavy positioning tasks with precision. This specific SKU includes a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (code A) for superior corrosion resistance and a built-in magnet (-S) for direct compatibility with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors.
The generous 100 mm adjustment range is ideal for product changeovers, letting you dial in the exact end position without swapping out the cylinder or adding external stops. It uses a PT tapered G1/2 port and relies on variable air cushions at both ends to decelerate the load smoothly. Remember that the rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock; it will not hold the load if air pressure drops.

Dial in the 100 mm adjustment range to quickly switch end-stops for different package sizes on a packaging line without changing cylinders.
Fine-tune the 65-165 mm travel window during commissioning to perfectly time the press motion against hard stops.
Leverage the 5497 N push force at 0.7 MPa to drive heavy components into place while using the rear screw to set the exact insertion depth.
Choose this 100 mm bore when your application requires more thrust than a 63 mm bore provides (2182 N at 0.7 MPa) but you want to avoid the heavier framing and higher air consumption of a 160 mm bore (14074 N at 0.7 MPa). The 100 mm adjuster range is excellent for machines running multiple product sizes, as it allows fast end-position tuning at commissioning without external stopper hardware.
When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 100 mm bore, 165 mm stroke, G1/2 PT ports, and the -S magnet requirement. SAIJ uses a specific mounting subset: Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 (omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR). For any load-holding requirements without live air pressure, the SAIJ adjuster is insufficient; you must integrate an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve, or switch to AirTAC SAIL or BSAI cylinders.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, this 100 mm bore cylinder provides 5497 N of push force and 3681 N of pull force. At 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 7068 N.
The rear adjuster acts as a mechanical stop that lets you shorten the nominal 165 mm stroke by up to 100 mm, creating a usable travel window of 65 to 165 mm. It only sets the end position and does not lock the load without live air pressure.
