About the Airtac SAIJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ100BX280-20S
The AirTAC SAIJ100X280-20-S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster. It delivers a robust 3927N push force at 0.5 MPa and utilizes a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod for superior corrosion resistance. By turning the rear stopper screw, you achieve a usable travel window of 260 to 280 mm, allowing precise end-position tuning at commissioning without adding external stops.
This adjustable-stroke variant uses a PT tapered port and includes a magnet for CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors. The extruded aluminum barrel provides standard ISO 15552 mounting dimensions, while the rear adjuster acts strictly as a travel stop to set deceleration, not as a lock to hold the load without live air.

Where the Airtac SAIJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ100BX280-20S Is Used
Machine Setup & Changeover
Fine-tune the 260-280mm end position during product size changes on a packaging line, using the rear screw to adapt travel without mechanical rebuilds.
Variable End Stops
Adjust the retract stroke on diverter gates to handle different package lengths on the fly, ensuring precise routing without replacing the actuator.
Assembly Press Tuning
Dial in the exact pressing depth during commissioning, using the 3927N thrust to seat components accurately while relying on the stopper for final position control.
Is the Airtac SAIJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ100BX280-20S the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 100mm bore when an application requires substantial thrust (3927N push at 0.5 MPa) but demands on-the-fly end-position flexibility. If you need less force, stepping down to an 80mm bore yields 2513N push force. The 20mm adjustment range is ideal for product changeovers on a line, letting you dial in the exact 260-280mm travel window without swapping the whole cylinder for a fixed-stroke SAI model.
Because the 280mm stroke exceeds 300mm is not triggered here, but long unsupported strokes still benefit from an external guide to manage side-load. Remember that the rear adjuster and air cushions only manage travel ends; for load-holding without live pressure, select an SAIL pneumatic lock or BSAI clamp-lock cylinder. Ensure your ISO 15552 replacement matches the PT port, Basic/FA/LB/TC/FTC/TCM1/TCM2 mounting set, and the -S magnet requirement.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — consider a guided cylinder
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (FA/FB/CA/CB/LB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SAIJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ100BX280-20S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 100mm bore cylinder provides 3927N of push force and 3681N of pull force. It can reach up to 7068N push force at 0.9 MPa.
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop, allowing you to trim the nominal 280mm stroke back by up to 20mm. This creates a usable travel window of 260 to 280mm for fine-tuning end positions without replacing the cylinder.
