The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ100BX900-40S 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 SAIJ100X900-40-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear mechanical stroke adjuster, providing a usable travel window of 860 to 900 mm. It delivers a robust 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa and 7068 N at 0.9 MPa, making it ideal for heavy-duty positioning tasks. The extruded aluminum barrel features sensor grooves on both sides to house CMSE reed or DMSE solid-state switches.
This specific configuration includes a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod (option B) for superior corrosion resistance and features PT tapered port threads. The rear adjuster acts strictly as a travel stop to fine-tune the end position during commissioning without adding external stops; it does not lock the load without live air pressure. Mounting options include the reduced SAIJ set of Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR.

Dial in the exact retraction point within the 860-900 mm window during machine commissioning to accommodate varying product widths without installing external mechanical stops.
Leverage the 7068 N push force at 0.9 MPa to actuate a heavy forming tool, using the SUS304 rod to resist corrosion in humid manufacturing environments.
Position long workpieces on a conveyor using the 900 mm travel, relying on the adjustable stopper to fine-tune the resting position for downstream processing.
Select this 100 mm bore cylinder when an application requires substantial thrust—such as 3927 N at 0.5 MPa—exceeding the 1374 N push of the smaller 50 mm bore, but without stepping up to the bulkier 125 mm size. The adjustable 860-900 mm travel is highly advantageous for machine setup and product changeovers, allowing operators to dial in the exact end position rather than swapping out a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder.
Because the 900 mm stroke is long, the 25 mm rod diameter and M20x1.5 rod thread will still experience leverage forces under side loads; an external guide bearing is strongly recommended to prevent binding. To replace an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 100 mm bore, 900 mm stroke, 40 mm adjustment, PT G1/2 port, desired mounting, and the -S magnet. For load-holding without live air, the rear stopper is insufficient—consider an external rod lock, a pilot-operated check valve, or the AirTAC SAIL or BSAI clamp-lock series.
Quick checklist
The rear adjuster screw allows you to shorten the effective travel by up to 40 mm, creating a usable stroke window of 860 to 900 mm. This stopper fine-tunes the end position at commissioning but does not lock or hold the load without live air pressure.
At 0.5 MPa it provides 3927 N of push force and 3681 N of pull force. At the maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa, the push force reaches 801 kgf.
