The AirTAC SAIJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ100BX55-50 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 SAIJ100X55-50 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster that allows you to dial back the nominal 55 mm travel by up to 50 mm. This creates a highly versatile 5 to 55 mm usable window, letting you fine-tune the retract end-position during commissioning without swapping hardware. It delivers substantial thrust, pushing 3927 N at 0.5 MPa and pulling 3681 N.
Equipped with a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance and a PT tapered port thread, this 100 mm bore unit operates at speeds of 30-800 mm/s. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, allowing you to add CMSE reed or DMSE electronic switches if position detection is needed later. The rear adjuster functions strictly as a travel stop to set deceleration, not as a lock to hold the load without live air pressure.

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.

Dial in the exact retract position within the 5-55 mm window during machine setup, using the rear stopper to perfect end-of-stroke positioning without external shims.
Quickly adjust the cylinder travel to accommodate different product sizes on a packaging line, reducing downtime between production runs.
The adjustable 5-55 mm travel window is ideal for machines requiring variable end-stops or frequent product-size changeovers, eliminating the need to maintain an inventory of multiple fixed-stroke SAI cylinders.
Because the stroke is short, side-load stress is minimal, but always ensure the load is guided externally. Remember that the rear adjuster only sets the travel end; it cannot hold a load safely without continuous air pressure. For true pneumatic locking without live air, consider the SAIL or BSAI series. This SAIJ model is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 and supports Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 mounts.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 5497 N.
The rear adjuster acts as a mechanical stop that can trim the nominal 55 mm stroke back by up to 50 mm, giving a usable travel window of 5 to 55 mm. It sets the end position and deceleration, but does not lock the load without live air.
