The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ100X250-40S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 250mm 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 SAIJ100X250-40-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, delivering 3927N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Its 250mm nominal stroke can be dialed back by up to 40mm, creating a precise 210-250mm usable travel window. This built-in adjustability allows operators to fine-tune end positions during commissioning or product changeovers without swapping the cylinder or adding external stops.
Featuring a carbon steel piston rod and PT tapered port threads, this model includes a magnet (-S) for position sensing. The extruded aluminum barrel houses sensor grooves on both sides, supporting AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic solid-state switches. It utilizes variable air cushions at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration, while the mounting options include Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.

Quickly dial in the 210-250mm travel window when switching a packaging line to a different carton size, eliminating the need to physically swap cylinders or add external shims.
Fine-tune the retract stroke during machine commissioning to achieve exact material press depths, using the rear screw to perfect the end stop without changing the fixed 250mm stroke length.
Leverage the 3927N push force at 0.5 MPa for stamping or pressing tasks, relying on the robust 25mm carbon steel rod to handle significant loads with adjustable end positioning.
Select this 100mm bore cylinder when an application requires substantial thrust—such as 3927N push or 3681N pull at 0.5 MPa—combined with variable end-stop positioning. If your setup demands less force, stepping down to an 80mm bore yields 2513N push force, whereas moving up to a 125mm bore provides 6136N. The adjustable stroke is ideal for machines processing multiple product sizes, allowing the retract end position to be set on the fly instead of machining custom spacers.
For a direct ISO 15552 replacement match, ensure your specifications call for a 100mm bore, 250mm nominal stroke, 40mm adjustment range, PT port threads, and a magnet for sensors. Because the 250mm stroke exceeds 300mm only slightly, side-load risks are moderate, but external guides should still be used for heavy off-center loads. Remember that the rear adjuster acts only as a travel stop; it does not hold the load without live air. For true load-holding without pressure, consider an AirTAC SAIL or BSAI cylinder.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 100mm bore cylinder provides 3927N of push force and 3681N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 5497N.
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop that allows you to shorten the effective stroke from its 250mm nominal length down to a minimum of 210mm. This creates a 210-250mm usable travel window for fine-tuning end positions, though it functions only as a stop and does not lock the load without continuous air pressure.
