The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ100BX850-40S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 850mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its standardized mounting interface makes it a drop-in replacement for other ISO 15552 cylinders in automation lines.
The AirTAC SAIJ100X850-40-S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It delivers a robust 7068N push force at 0.9 MPa, utilizing a 25mm piston rod with an M20x1.5 thread and a G1/2 port. By turning the rear adjustment screw, you can trim the nominal 850mm stroke back by up to 40mm, creating an 810 to 850mm usable travel window for exact end-position calibration.
This specific SKU features a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance and includes a magnet (-S) for position sensing with AirTAC CMSE reed or DMSE electronic solid-state switches. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides. It supports a reduced mounting set of Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, omitting the FB, CA, CB, and CR options found on some other series.

Quickly dial in the 810-850mm stroke window during production line changeovers to accommodate varying package lengths without changing hardware.
Fine-tune the exact end-of-stroke position during initial commissioning using the rear screw, ensuring precise mechanical stops without external spacers.
Leverage the 7068N push force at 0.9 MPa to move heavy pallets or transfer bulky components along an external guide rail system.
Choose this 100mm bore if you need more thrust than the 80mm version (which provides 4523N push at 0.9 MPa) but want to avoid the larger footprint of the 125mm cylinder. The adjustable stroke is ideal for machine setups requiring variable end stops or product-size changeovers, allowing you to fine-tune the travel distance at commissioning without swapping out the entire cylinder or adding external stops.
Because the stroke is 850mm, an external guide rail is strongly recommended to prevent side-loading damage to the rod seals, as long unsupported strokes can induce deflection. Remember that the rear adjuster acts only as a travel stop and works alongside the air cushions to decelerate the load; it does not hold the load without live air pressure. For true load-holding without continuous air, consider the SAIL (air-released lock) or BSAI (clamp-lock) series. To match this ISO 15552 replacement exactly, specify the 100mm bore, 850mm stroke, 40mm adjustment, PT tapered port, SUS304 (B) rod material, and the -S magnet.
Quick checklist
At an operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, this 100mm bore cylinder generates a push force of 7068N and a pull force of 3681N. The maximum thrust is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The rear adjuster screw allows you to shorten the nominal 850mm stroke by up to 40mm, providing an adjustable travel window of 810 to 850mm. The adjuster acts as a mechanical stop to set the end position and does not function as a lock to hold the load without air pressure.
