The AirTAC SAIJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ100AX280-20 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 280mm 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 SAIJ100X280-20 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, delivering robust performance with a 100 mm bore. It features a nominal 280 mm stroke that can be fine-tuned backward by up to 20 mm, providing a precise 260-280 mm usable travel window. This adjustability allows operators to dial in end positions during commissioning without swapping out the cylinder or adding external stops. Built with a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (option A) and PT tapered ports, it handles heavy loads with a maximum push force of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
This model incorporates an extruded aluminum barrel with sensor grooves on both sides for flexible mounting of CMSE reed or DMSE electronic sensors. The rear adjuster functions purely as a mechanical stop to set the travel end and deceleration point alongside the variable air cushions; it does not hold the load without live air pressure. For applications requiring true position holding, consider the SAIL or BSAI series instead. The SAIJ utilizes a specific mounting subset including Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.

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.

Quickly adjust the 260-280 mm travel window during product size transitions on packaging lines without replacing the cylinder or bolting on external stops.
Fine-tune the retract end-stop during initial commissioning to dial in exact mechanical positioning, compensating for minor mounting variances.
If your setup demands less force, stepping down to an 80 mm bore yields 2513 N at 0.5 MPa, whereas moving up to a 125 mm bore provides 6136 N. Choose the SAIJ adjustable-stroke variant over a fixed SAI model when you need variable end stops for product-size changeovers or machine setup refinements.
When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, verify the 100 mm bore, 280 mm stroke, 20 mm adjustment range, PT G1/2 port, and the appropriate mounting option. Because the stroke is 280 mm, ensure adequate support to prevent side-loading; while the 25 mm rod and M20x1.5 thread handle significant loads, long unsupported strokes still require an external guide. Note that a plain SAIJ does not hold its position without live air—the rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock.
Quick checklist
The maximum push force is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The rear adjuster acts as a mechanical stop that allows you to shorten the effective travel from the nominal 280 mm down to 260 mm. It sets the travel end and deceleration point but does not lock or hold the load without live air pressure.
