About the Airtac SAIJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ100BX550-100
The AirTAC SAIJ100X550-100 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that creates a 450-550mm usable travel window. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for flexible switch mounting.
This specific SKU is configured with a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance and a PT tapered port thread. The rear adjuster allows you to fine-tune the retract end position during commissioning without adding external stops. Note that this adjuster acts only as a travel stop and does not hold the load without live air pressure.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø100mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3682 N | 3682 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 5154 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 751 kgf | |
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.

Where the Airtac SAIJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ100BX550-100 Is Used
Machine Changeover
Dial in the exact retract position within the 450-550mm window during product size changes without swapping physical hardware.
Assembly Line Setup
Establish precise variable end-stops during initial commissioning of automated assembly lines using the rear adjustment screw.
Is the Airtac SAIJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ100BX550-100 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 100mm bore cylinder when an application requires substantial force, such as 5497N at 0.7 MPa, alongside a variable end-stop. If your force requirements are lower, stepping down to an 80mm bore provides 3518N at 0.7 MPa. Conversely, larger loads up to 11045N at 0.9 MPa necessitate a 125mm bore. The adjustable rear screw is ideal for machine changeovers, allowing you to dial in the 450-550mm travel range without swapping the cylinder.
When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 100mm bore, 550mm stroke, 100mm adjustment, PT port, and mounting interface. The SAIJ supports Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 mounts. Because the 550mm stroke is relatively long, an external guide is recommended to manage side-load and prevent rod binding. For applications requiring position holding without live air, consider the SAIL or BSAI series instead, as the SAIJ adjuster is not a lock.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — consider a guided cylinder
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (FA/FB/CA/CB/LB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SAIJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ100BX550-100 FAQ
The rear adjuster allows you to shorten the effective stroke by up to 100mm, providing a usable travel window of 450-550mm. This lets you fine-tune the end position at commissioning without adding external stops.
At 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 7068N.
