The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ100BX900-100 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 900mm 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 SAIJ100X900-100 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster. It delivers a robust 7068N of push force at 0.9 MPa and utilizes a SUS304 stainless steel rod. By turning the rear stopper screw, you can fine-tune the effective travel window down from the 900 mm nominal stroke, providing a usable 800-900 mm range to perfectly dial in end positions.
This adjustable-stroke design eliminates the need to physically swap cylinders or bolt on external stops during machine commissioning or product changeovers. The 25 mm rod and M20x1.5 thread provide substantial side-load resistance, though a stroke of this length still requires an external guide to prevent rod sag. It features variable air cushions at both ends to decelerate the load smoothly, and its extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides.

Dial in the exact 800 to 900 mm retraction point during machine setup without replacing the cylinder or adding external mechanical stops.
Quickly adapt the stroke length on a packaging line to handle different box sizes by adjusting the rear stopper screw during shift changes.
Fine-tune the bottoming position of a heavy-duty press operation, utilizing the 7068N push force at 0.9 MPa to secure or form components accurately.
Choose this 100 mm bore when your application requires heavy thrust that a 80 mm bore cannot provide, stepping up from 4523N to 7068N of push force at 0.9 MPa. If your force requirements are lower, dropping to an 80 mm bore saves air consumption and physical footprint. The SAIJ100X900-100 is selected specifically when a fixed 900 mm stroke SAI cylinder is too rigid, allowing 100 mm of rear mechanical adjustment to accommodate varying product sizes on the same line.
When matching this cylinder for an ISO 15552 replacement, verify the 100 mm bore, 900 mm stroke, 100 mm adjustment code, PT tapered G1/2 port, and the required mounting accessory from the SAIJ subset (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2). Because the nominal stroke is 900 mm, an external linear guide is strongly recommended to prevent excessive side-loading on the rod. Note that the rear adjuster acts only as a travel stop; it does not hold the load without live air pressure. For load-holding requirements, consider the SAIL or BSAI series.
Quick checklist
At a 0.9 MPa operating pressure, this 100 mm bore cylinder provides 7068N of push force and 3681N of pull force. The maximum thrust at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
The rear adjuster acts as a mechanical stopper that trims the effective travel back by up to 100 mm. This creates a usable 800-900 mm stroke window, allowing you to fine-tune the retract end-position at commissioning without altering the air cushions.
