The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ100BX165-100 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 165mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its standardized mounting interface makes it a drop-in replacement for other ISO 15552 cylinders in automation lines.
The AirTAC SAIJ100X165-100 is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It provides a 100 mm adjustment range, allowing you to trim the 165 mm nominal stroke back to a 65 mm minimum, creating a 65-165 mm usable travel window. In the 100 mm bore class, it delivers 3927 N of push force and 3681 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it suitable for heavy-duty positioning tasks.
This SKU features a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod (option B) for superior corrosion resistance and features PT tapered port threads (G1/2). The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides. Note that the rear adjuster acts purely as a travel stop to fine-tune the end position during commissioning; it does not lock or hold the load without live air pressure.

Dial in the stroke from 165 mm down to 65 mm during product size transitions on a packaging line, eliminating the need to physically swap cylinders for different package lengths.
Fine-tune the exact retract position during machine setup using the rear screw, absorbing mechanical tolerances without fabricating custom external stopper blocks.
Leverage the 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa to push heavy pallets or chassis into a workstation, relying on the rear stopper to set the precise indexing depth.
Select this 100 mm bore cylinder when your application requires substantial thrust (3927 N push at 0.5 MPa) alongside flexible end-position tuning. If your process requires less force, stepping down to an 80 mm bore yields 2513 N of push force, but the 100 mm class is necessary for heavier payloads. The 100 mm adjustment range is ideal for machines processing varied product sizes, allowing you to reconfigure the travel end-stop on the fly without swapping the cylinder or adding external mechanical stops.
When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 100 mm bore, 165 mm stroke, PT port threads, and the chosen mounting style (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2). Because the SAIJ mounting set omits FB, CA, CB, and CR options, verify your bracket compatibility. As a double-acting cylinder, it will not hold its position if air pressure drops; for true load-holding without live air, consider the SAIL (air-released lock) or BSAI (clamp-lock) series instead.
Quick checklist
The rear adjuster acts as an external stopper that limits the piston's retraction. For this model, you can trim the 165 mm nominal stroke back by up to 100 mm, giving you a usable travel window of 65 to 165 mm. It sets the travel end but does not lock the load without live air pressure.
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the SAIJ100X165-100 provides 3927 N of push force and 3681 N of pull force. At the maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa, the push force reaches 801 kgf.
