The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ100BX165-50 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 SAIJ100X165-50 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, delivering 3927N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Its integrated stopper allows you to trim the nominal 165mm travel back by up to 50mm, creating a precise 115-165mm usable window. This eliminates the need to swap cylinders or bolt on external stops during machine commissioning.
This configuration features a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance and uses PT tapered port threads with a G1/2 connection. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, and the rod end is machined to an M20x1.5 thread. While the rear adjuster sets the travel end and the adjustable air cushions decelerate the load, neither component will hold a load without live air pressure.

Selecting this 100mm bore over a smaller 80mm option steps the thrust up from 2513N to 3927N at 0.5 MPa, while moving up from the 100mm bore to a 125mm version increases output to 6136N. Choose the SAIJ adjustable-stroke design over a fixed SAI cylinder when your application requires variable end-stops or fine-tuning during product changeovers. To match this exact configuration for an ISO 15552 replacement, specify the 100mm bore, 165mm stroke, 50mm adjustment, PT port thread, SUS304 rod, and no magnet.
Because the nominal stroke of 165mm is relatively short, side-loading is less of a concern than with longer strokes, but the robust 25mm rod and M20x1.5 thread handle higher offset stresses well. For applications that require true load-holding without continuous air pressure, pair this cylinder with an external pilot-operated check valve or explore the AirTAC SAIL or BSAI locking cylinder series.
Quick checklist
At a 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 100mm bore cylinder provides 3927N of push force and 3681N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 5497N.
The rear adjuster acts as a mechanical stop that allows you to shorten the 165mm nominal stroke by up to 50mm, providing a usable travel range of 115-165mm. It only sets the end position and does not lock the load.
