The AirTAC SAIJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ100AX185-100S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 185mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its standardized mounting interface makes it interchangeable with other ISO 15552 cylinders at the mounting interface.
The AirTAC SAIJ100X185-100-S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It provides a broad usable travel window of 85 to 185 mm, allowing you to dial back the nominal stroke by up to 100 mm during commissioning.
This specific configuration features a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (material code A) for enhanced corrosion resistance and includes a built-in magnet (-S) for position sensing. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, seamlessly accepting AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic solid-state switches. The rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop to fine-tune the end position without requiring external stops or cylinder swaps.

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.

Dial in the exact end-stop for varying part lengths on a single line, utilizing the 100 mm adjustment range to switch profiles without swapping cylinders.
Fine-tune the final retract position during machine setup to align heavy 3927 N loads perfectly, avoiding the need for external mechanical stoppers.
Adapt the stroke window on the fly for multi-model assembly lines, using the 85-185 mm travel range to accommodate different tooling depths.
Choose this 100 mm bore cylinder when an application demands high thrust combined with flexible end-position tuning across a wide 85-185 mm range. Because the 185 mm stroke is under the 300 mm threshold, side-load concerns are minimal, though the robust 25 mm rod and M20x1.5 thread handle substantial off-center loads.
An adjustable-stroke SAIJ is preferred over a fixed SAI when a machine requires frequent product-size changeovers or precise end-stop calibration without physically replacing the actuator. Remember that the rear adjuster and the variable air cushions only decelerate the load; they do not function as a lock. For true load-holding without live air pressure, select a SAIL (air-released lock) or BSAI (clamp-lock) cylinder. This PT-ported, ISO 15552 interchangeable profile cylinder supports mountings Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 5497 N.
The rear adjuster screw lets you mechanically shorten the effective stroke by up to 100 mm from the nominal 185 mm, providing an adjustable travel window of 85 to 185 mm without changing the cylinder mount.
