About the Airtac SAIJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ100AX180-30
The AirTAC SAIJ100X180-30 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster. It provides a 150-180 mm usable travel window, allowing you to dial back the 180 mm nominal stroke by up to 30 mm during commissioning. Equipped with a robust 25 mm rod and M20x1.5 thread, it delivers 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa.
This model uses a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (option A) for improved corrosion resistance and features PT tapered port threads (G1/2). The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for flexible mounting of CMSE reed or DMSE electronic switches. The rear adjuster acts purely as a travel stop to fine-tune the end position without adding external physical stops.

Where the Airtac SAIJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ100AX180-30 Is Used
Machine Setup & Changeover
Fine-tune the 150-180 mm travel window during product size changeovers without swapping cylinders or bolting on external stopper blocks.
Variable End-Stop Positioning
Dial in the exact retract position within the 30 mm adjustment range to perfectly align parts before a clamping operation.
Assembly Line Calibration
Adjust the rear stopper screw on the fly to compensate for mechanical wear or tooling offsets over the machine's life cycle.
Is the Airtac SAIJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ100AX180-30 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 100 mm bore cylinder when an 80 mm bore falls short of the required thrust; stepping down to an 80 mm bore yields 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, whereas this 100 mm unit provides 3927 N. The adjustable stroke is ideal for product changeovers where the exact end-of-stroke position varies by up to 30 mm, eliminating the need to physically swap out a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder. For any application approaching the 300 mm stroke mark, ensure external guides are used to support the rod against side loads.
When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 100 mm bore, 180 mm stroke, 30 mm adjustment range, PT G1/2 port, and your required mounting bracket (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2). Note that this plain SAIJ variant does not include a magnet (-S) for sensors. Because the rear adjuster and air cushions only decelerate the load, this cylinder will not hold its position without live air pressure; for true load-holding, consider the SAIL or BSAI series.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — consider a guided cylinder
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (FA/FB/CA/CB/LB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SAIJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ100AX180-30 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 100 mm bore cylinder provides 3927 N of push force and 3681 N of pull force. If you increase the operating pressure to 0.9 MPa, the push force reaches 7068 N.
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop, letting you shorten the 180 mm nominal stroke anywhere down to 150 mm. It only sets the travel end and decelerates the load; it does not lock or hold the load without continuous air pressure.
