The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ100BX50-20 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 50mm 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 SAIJ100X50-20 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster. It provides a usable travel window of 30 to 50 mm, allowing you to dial back the 50 mm nominal stroke by up to 20 mm during commissioning without adding external stops. In this configuration, the piston rod is crafted from SUS304 stainless steel, and the ports feature PT tapered threads.
Belonging to the 100 mm bore class, it generates 3927 N of push force and 3681 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, and the mounting options cover Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, omitting the FB, CA, CB, and CR styles found on some standard variants.

Quickly fine-tune the 30-50 mm travel window on packaging lines when switching to a different carton size, avoiding physical cylinder swaps.
Dial in the exact end-stop position during initial commissioning to perfect a pressing or clamping operation without external shims.
Adapt a single assembly station to multiple part lengths by adjusting the rear screw to modify the effective stroke as needed.
Choose this 100 mm bore when an 80 mm cylinder (2513 N push at 0.5 MPa) lacks the necessary thrust, but a 125 mm unit is physically too large. The adjustable stroke is ideal for setups requiring precise end-position tuning during product changeovers. Because the rear adjuster acts only as a travel stop and the air cushions manage deceleration, neither will hold a load without live air pressure; for true load-holding, consider an external rod lock or the SAIL and BSAI series.
When matching ISO 15552 replacements, verify the 100 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, 20 mm adjustment range, PT port threads, and the SUS304 rod material. Since this specific SKU lacks a magnet (-S), it cannot host CMSE reed or DMSE electronic sensors without changing the piston assembly.
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 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 5497 N.
The rear adjuster screw allows you to shorten the 50 mm nominal stroke by up to 20 mm, creating a usable travel window of 30 to 50 mm. The adjuster acts as a mechanical stop and does not lock the load without live air pressure.
