The AirTAC SAIJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ100BX55-20 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 55mm 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.
It features a SUS304 stainless steel rod and PT tapered ports. By turning the rear screw, you can trim the effective travel, creating a precise 35-55mm usable window for your application without needing external stops.
This adjustable-stroke design is invaluable during commissioning or product changeovers, allowing you to dial in the exact end position on the fly. The rear adjuster functions strictly as a travel stop to set the deceleration point alongside the standard air cushions, not as a locking mechanism. For load-holding without live air pressure, you would need to integrate a SAIL or BSAI variant instead.

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.

Related SAI-family variants: SAID (double rod), SAIJ (adjustable stroke), SAIL (with lock), SAIF (with valve), BSAI (enclasp / clamp-lock), and SAI-S with built-in magnet. Rod material: carbon steel (blank) / SUS420J2 (A) / SUS304 (B); seals: TPU (blank) / Viton H / NBR N.
Dial in the exact 35 to 55mm travel distance during machine setup to perfect the pressing or clamping depth without swapping hardware.
Quickly adjust the rear stopper to accommodate slightly different product sizes on the same line, minimizing downtime between runs.
Because the stroke is only 55mm, side-loading is less of a concern than on longer strokes, but the robust 25mm rod still handles moderate lateral stress well.
When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 100mm bore, 55mm nominal stroke, 20mm adjustment range, PT port threads, and your required mounting style. SAIJ supports a specific subset of mounts: Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, deliberately omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR options. Note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSE or DMSE sensors without a configuration change.
Quick checklist
At the maximum 1.0 MPa pressure, it can deliver up to 801 kgf.
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop, allowing you to shorten the 55mm nominal stroke by up to 20mm. This creates a usable travel window of 35-55mm, which can be fine-tuned during commissioning without changing the cylinder.
