About the Airtac SAIJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ100AX180-40
The AirTAC SAIJ100X180-40 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a rear stroke adjuster, letting you dial back the 180 mm nominal travel to any point within a 140-180 mm usable window. A PT tapered port and SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (option A) equip this unit for demanding environments.
The rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop for end-position tuning during commissioning or product changeovers, eliminating the need to swap cylinders or bolt on external stops. It does not lock the load without live air pressure. For position holding, consider the SAIL or BSAI series. This extruded aluminum barrel includes dual sensor grooves for CMSE reed or DMSE solid-state switches if a magnet is added later.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø100mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3682 N | 3682 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 5154 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 751 kgf | |
Double-rod model: the rod passes through the rear cover, so both piston faces lose rod area and push is shown at the annular-area value. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

Where the Airtac SAIJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ100AX180-40 Is Used
Product Changeovers
Fine-tune the 140-180 mm travel window on the fly during line format changes without physically swapping out the actuator.
End-Stop Calibration
Dial in the exact retract position during machine commissioning using the rear mechanical stopper for precise positioning.
Variable Forming Stops
Adjust the effective stroke dynamically for different material thicknesses or pressing depths in automated assembly lines.
Is the Airtac SAIJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ100AX180-40 the Right Cylinder?
The 40 mm adjustment range is ideal for machinery requiring frequent product-size changeovers, allowing variable end-stops without replacing the cylinder. Since this is a plain cylinder without a magnet (-S), it does not carry position sensors from the factory.
When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 100 mm bore, 180 mm stroke, 40 mm adjustment, PT port thread, and the SAIJ mounting set (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2). With a 180 mm stroke, side-load risks are minimal, but long unsupported strokes still need an external guide. The adjuster and air cushions only decelerate the travel end; they never act as a brake or hold.
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 SAIJ100AX180-40 FAQ
At the maximum 1.0 MPa pressure, it can deliver up to 801 kgf.
The rear adjuster screw allows you to shorten the 180 mm nominal stroke by up to 40 mm, creating a 140-180 mm usable travel window. It functions as a mechanical stop for end-position tuning and does not hold the load without live air pressure.
