The AirTAC SAIJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ100BX500-50S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 500mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its standardized mounting interface makes it interchangeable with other ISO 15552 cylinders at the mounting interface.
The AirTAC SAIJ100X500-50-S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster. The SUS304 stainless steel rod and PT tapered port threads are configured for demanding environments.
The rear adjustment screw acts strictly as a travel stop to fine-tune the retract end position without adding external stops or swapping the cylinder. It is not a locking device, so you must maintain live air to hold a load. For position holding without pressure, consider an external rod lock or the related SAIL or BSAI series. This extruded aluminum profile cylinder supports AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors via its dual side grooves.

Double-rod model: the rod passes through the rear cover, so both piston faces lose rod area and push is shown at the annular-area value. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

Quickly reconfigure the retract end-position by up to 50mm when switching product sizes on a packaging line, avoiding mechanical cylinder swaps.
Fine-tune the 450-500mm travel window at commissioning to perfectly seat heavy assemblies without fabricating external stopper blocks.
The 50mm adjustment range is ideal for product changeovers on automated lines, allowing variable end-stops without replacing the cylinder. As a dimensionally interchangeable ISO 15552 cylinder, it matches standard mounting footprints using the Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2 mounts, omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR options.
With a 500mm stroke, the 25mm rod diameter and M20x1.5 rod thread provide rigidity, but the long unsupported extension requires an external guide to prevent side-load damage. The variable air cushions at both ends decelerate the travel, operating at speeds of 30-800mm/s. For fixed travel without the adjuster, the standard SAI series is the alternative.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa the push force increases to 5497N, and it reaches a maximum of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The rear adjuster screw lets you trim the effective travel back from the 500mm nominal stroke by up to 50mm, creating a 450-500mm usable window. It functions as a mechanical stop to set the end position and does not lock the load without live air pressure.
