The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ100BX170-20 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 170mm 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 SAIJ100X170-20 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster. It provides a 150-170mm usable travel window, allowing you to dial back the 170mm nominal stroke by up to 20mm during machine commissioning without adding external stops. Delivering 3927N of push force at 0.5MPa, it suits heavy-duty positioning tasks.
This variant uses a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance and carries PT tapered port threads. The extruded aluminum barrel includes dual sensor grooves for mounting CMSE reed or DMSE electronic switches. Mounting options span Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, omitting the FB, CA, CB, and CR styles found on some standard variants.

Fine-tune the 150-170mm travel window during product size changes to set precise end positions without physically swapping the cylinder.
Leverage the 3927N push force at 0.5MPa to move substantial masses along a conveyor or assembly line with adjustable end-stops.
Utilize the SUS304 stainless steel rod for reliable performance in washdown or mildly corrosive manufacturing settings.
Choose this 100mm bore when an 80mm bore falls short—its 2513N push force at 0.5MPa is insufficient, but the 100mm bore delivers 3927N. The adjustable stroke is ideal for product changeovers where the exact end-of-travel position shifts slightly, eliminating the need to physically swap out a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder. Remember that the rear adjuster acts only as a travel stop; it does not hold the load without live air. For pneumatic load-holding, consider the SAIL or BSAI series instead.
When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 100mm bore, 170mm stroke, 20mm adjustment range, PT port threads, and the specific mounting interface. Because the stroke is under 300mm, side-load concerns are minimal, but the 25mm rod diameter handles standard lateral stresses effectively. No magnet is specified, so position sensing requires adding external sensors or confirming a -S variant if needed.
Quick checklist
At 0.5MPa operating pressure, it provides 3927N of push force and 3681N of pull force. At the maximum operating pressure of 1.0MPa, the push force reaches 801kgf.
A rear screw stopper allows you to shorten the effective stroke by up to 20mm, creating a 150-170mm usable travel window. This stopper only sets the end position; it does not lock or hold the load without continuous air pressure.
