The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ100BX290-50S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 290mm 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 SAIJ100X290-50-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster. It provides a usable travel window of 240 to 290 mm, allowing you to dial back the nominal 290 mm stroke by up to 50 mm during commissioning. Delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it handles heavy actuation tasks while maintaining a standard ISO 15552 mounting footprint.
This SKU includes a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance and a built-in magnet (-S) for position sensing. You can pair it with AirTAC CMSE reed switches or DMSE solid-state sensors, which seat directly into the dual-side sensor grooves on the extruded aluminum barrel. The rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop to fine-tune the retract end, meaning it will not hold the load if air pressure is lost.

Quickly fine-tune the retract distance up to 50 mm during packaging line format changes without replacing the cylinder.
Dial in the exact end-of-stroke position during initial commissioning to prevent crashes and optimize press motions.
Provide a mechanical stop within the 240-290 mm travel window for heavy material handling actuators.
Choose this 100 mm bore when your application requires substantial thrust, such as 3927 N push or 3681 N pull at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, stepping down to an 80 mm bore yields 2513 N of push force. The adjustable stroke is ideal for machinery that requires variable end-stops or frequent product changeovers, saving you from swapping cylinders or adding external stopper blocks. For load-holding without continuous air pressure, consider the SAIL or BSAI series, as the SAIJ adjuster is not a locking mechanism.
Because the 290 mm stroke exceeds the 300 mm threshold, an external guide is recommended to prevent excessive side-loading on the 25 mm rod. This configuration features PT tapered port threads (G1/2 size) and supports a mounting set of Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. It is dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 cylinders such as Festo DSBC or SMC CDQ2, offering a direct profile-cylinder replacement.
Quick checklist
At a 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 100 mm bore cylinder provides 3927 N of push force and 3681 N of pull force. At the maximum 1.0 MPa pressure, it can deliver up to 801 kgf of push force.
The rear adjuster acts as a mechanical stop that shortens the effective travel. For this SAIJ100X290-50-S model, you can trim the 290 mm nominal stroke back by up to 50 mm, creating a 240 to 290 mm usable window. It is a travel stop, not a lock, and requires live air to hold the load.
