The AirTAC SAIJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ100BX55-40S 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.
The AirTAC SAIJ100X55-40-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster. It provides a usable travel window of 15 to 55 mm, allowing you to dial back the nominal 55 mm stroke by up to 40 mm during commissioning.
This model includes a magnet for position sensing, operating seamlessly with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic switches mounted into the dual-side sensor grooves. The rear adjuster functions strictly as a travel stop to fine-tune deceleration and end positions without external stops, but it does not hold the load without live air pressure. Mounting options include the standard SAIJ subset: Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.

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 dial in the 15-55 mm travel window to accommodate varying package sizes on a packaging line without swapping out the entire actuator.
Fine-tune the final retract position during machine commissioning to achieve exact pressing or clamping distances without adding external mechanical stops.
Choose this 100 mm bore cylinder when an application demands high thrust (3927 N at 0.5 MPa) combined with variable end-position tuning. If the force is excessive, stepping down to an 80 mm bore yields 2513 N at 0.5 MPa. The adjustable stroke is ideal for machine setups requiring frequent product-size changeovers, whereas a fixed SAI cylinder suits static end-stops. For load-holding without continuous air pressure, select a SAIL or BSAI cylinder instead, as the SAIJ adjuster is not a lock.
When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, verify the 100 mm bore, 55 mm nominal stroke, 40 mm adjustment range, G1/2 port, PT thread type, and the required -S magnet. The robust 25 mm rod and M20x1.5 thread handle significant side loads, though external guides are recommended if the stroke approaches or exceeds 300 mm.
Quick checklist
At the maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa, it delivers up to 801 kgf.
The rear adjuster acts as a mechanical stop that trims the effective travel. For this 55 mm stroke model, the -40 code means you can shorten the stroke by up to 40 mm, creating a usable travel window of 15 to 55 mm to fine-tune the end position.
