The AirTAC SAIJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ100AX40-20 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 40mm 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.
By integrating an external adjusting screw at the rear, this cylinder allows you to fine-tune the effective stroke, creating a usable travel window of 20 to 40 mm for precise end-position calibration. The extruded aluminum barrel features sensor grooves on both sides, ready to accept CMSE reed or DMSE electronic switches if a magnet is added later.
This specific configuration features a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (material code A) and PT tapered port threads. The 25mm rod diameter provides excellent rigidity and side-load resistance, while the variable air cushions at both ends decelerate the load smoothly. The rear adjuster acts solely as a travel stop and does not hold the load without live air pressure.

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 retracted position within the 20-40mm window during product size transitions without replacing the entire cylinder.
Fine-tune the end-stop during initial machine setup to perfect the positioning of tooling and fixtures.
Adjust the travel distance on the fly to accommodate varying part dimensions at a single pneumatic workstation.
If your force requirements are lower, stepping down to an 80mm bore yields 2513N; conversely, a 125mm bore provides 6136N. The adjustable stroke is ideal for machine setup and product changeovers where the exact retracted position needs micro-adjustments.
Because this is a short 40mm stroke, side-loading is minimal, but remember the rear screw is a stop, not a lock. For load-holding without continuous air pressure, consider the SAIL pneumatic lock or BSAI clamp-lock series. As a dimensionally interchangeable ISO 15552 cylinder, ensure your replacement matches the 100mm bore, 40mm stroke, 20mm adjustment, PT port thread, and basic mounting interface (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2 available).
Quick checklist
It can deliver up to 7068N at 0.9 MPa.
The rear adjusting screw acts as a mechanical stopper that can trim the nominal 40mm stroke back by up to 20mm, giving you an effective travel window of 20 to 40mm. It sets the travel end but does not lock the load without live air.
