The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ100AX170-10S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 170mm 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 SAIJ100X170-10-S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear mechanical stroke adjuster. It delivers a robust 3927N push force at 0.5 MPa and provides a usable travel window of 160 to 170 mm, allowing you to dial in the exact end position without adding external stops. The integrated magnet enables position sensing, while the SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (material code A) offers enhanced corrosion resistance.
Unlike fixed-stroke variants, this adjustable model allows fine end-position tuning at commissioning or during product changeovers. The rear adjuster acts purely as a travel stop to set the retract endpoint and relies on the built-in air cushions for deceleration. It does not hold the load without live air pressure; for true load-holding requirements, consider the SAIL or BSAI series instead.

Fine-tune the 160-170mm travel window during line changeovers to accommodate slightly different product sizes without replacing the cylinder.
Dial in the exact retract endpoint on automated fixtures where a hard mechanical stop is preferred over relying solely on pneumatic cushions.
Leverage the 3927N push force at 0.5 MPa for light-duty pressing and seating operations, adjusting the final 10mm of travel for part variance.
Choose this 100mm bore cylinder when your application requires 3927N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If your setup demands less force, stepping down to an 80mm bore yields 2513N, whereas moving up to a 125mm bore provides 6136N. The adjustable 10mm window is ideal for machinery requiring precise variable end-stops without swapping hardware.
When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 100mm bore, 170mm nominal stroke, 10mm adjustment, PT G1/2 port, and the -S magnet. The SAIJ mounting set includes Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. For position feedback, use AirTAC CMSE reed or DMSE electronic sensors in the dual-side sensor grooves. Since this unit features a 25mm rod and M20x1.5 thread, it handles moderate side loads well, but any stroke over 300mm still requires an external guide.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it provides 3927N of push force and 3681N of pull force. If operated at 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 5497N.
The rear adjuster screw lets you shorten the 170mm nominal stroke by up to 10mm, creating a 160-170mm usable travel window. It functions as a mechanical stop for end-position tuning and is not a lock.
