The AirTAC SAIJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ100AX900-40S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 900mm 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 turning the rear stopper screw, you can trim the nominal 900mm travel back by up to 40mm, creating an 860-900mm usable window for precise end-position tuning during commissioning. This eliminates the need to physically swap out the cylinder or bolt on external stops when dialing in a machine's final stroke.
Built with a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (material option A) and PT tapered port threads, this model is tailored for environments demanding higher corrosion resistance. The extruded aluminum barrel features sensor grooves on both sides, and because this SKU includes a magnet (-S), it works seamlessly with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic solid-state switches for position feedback. The integrated adjustable air cushions at both ends absorb the kinetic energy of this long-stroke movement, though they act strictly as deceleration stops and do 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 860-900mm clamping depth on custom jigs without swapping cylinders, using the rear screw to fine-tune the final position for different part lengths.
Quickly adjust the stroke window during product size transitions on a conveyor sorting line, setting the retract position precisely without adding external mechanical stops.
Perfect the end-of-travel position during machine setup, using the 40mm adjustment range to compensate for mechanical tolerances and sensor placement variations.
The adjustable stroke is ideal for product changeovers on a line where the exact end-of-stroke varies slightly by part size, letting you fine-tune the 860-900mm window on the fly instead of maintaining a stock of multiple fixed-length SAI cylinders.
Because the 900mm stroke is quite long, the 25mm rod diameter carries a significant side-load risk if the piston rod is left unsupported; for this span, an external guide rail is highly recommended to prevent premature seal wear. To replace an existing ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 100mm bore, 900mm stroke, 40mm adjustment, PT ports, and the -S magnet, noting that SAIJ uses a reduced mounting set (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2) and omits FB, CA, CB, and CR brackets. If your application requires true load-holding without continuous air pressure, step up to a SAIL (air-released lock) or BSAI (clamp-lock) cylinder, as the SAIJ rear adjuster is only a travel stop, not a brake.
Quick checklist
The maximum thrust is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The rear adjuster screw acts as an external stopper that lets you shorten the effective travel from the nominal 900mm down to 860mm. This provides a 40mm usable tuning window at the retract end without changing the cylinder's physical mounting.
