The AirTAC SAIJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ100AX550-40S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 550mm 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 SAIJ100X550-40-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster. The built-in rear stopper allows you to dial back the 550mm nominal stroke by up to 40mm, creating a precise 510-550mm usable travel window for fine end-position tuning during commissioning.
This specific SKU includes a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (option A) for improved corrosion resistance and ships with a magnet (-S) for electronic DMSE or reed CMSE position sensing. It features variable air cushions at both ends to decelerate heavy loads, but note that the rear adjuster acts only as a travel stop, not a load-holding lock.

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 adapt end-of-stroke positions for different product sizes on a packaging line without physically replacing the cylinder or adding external stops.
Dial in the exact 510-550mm travel window during commissioning to perfectly time the heavy press motion without mechanical shimming.
The adjustable stroke is ideal for machine setups requiring variable end stops or product-size changeovers without swapping the entire actuator. Because the nominal 550mm stroke is relatively long, an external guide is recommended to prevent excessive side-loading on the rod.
For a true ISO 15552 dimensional replacement, match the 100mm bore, 550mm stroke, 40mm adjustment, PT G1/2 ports, and the -S magnet. The SAIJ mounting set includes Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR. If your application requires the load to be held without live air pressure, use a SAIL or BSAI lock cylinder instead of relying on the adjuster.
Quick checklist
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop that lets you shorten the effective stroke by up to 40mm. This provides a usable travel window of 510-550mm, allowing fine-tuning at commissioning without swapping the cylinder.
