The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ100X280-100 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 280mm 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 SAIJ100X280-100 is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It provides a nominal 280 mm stroke that can be fine-tuned down by up to 100 mm, creating a precise 180-280 mm usable travel window. Belonging to the 100 mm bore class, it delivers substantial thrust, generating 7068 N of push force at 0.9 MPa and 3927 N at 0.5 MPa.
This model features a robust 25 mm carbon steel rod with an M20x1.5 thread, paired with G1/2 PT ports. The extruded aluminum barrel incorporates sensor grooves on both sides, allowing for direct mounting of CMSE reed or DMSE electronic switches if a magnet is specified later. Adjustment is handled mechanically at the rear, and the variable air cushions at both ends manage end-of-stroke deceleration.

Dial in the 180-280 mm travel window during setup to accommodate different part lengths on the same fixture without changing out the entire cylinder assembly.
Leverage the 100 mm adjustment range to rapidly reposition conveyor diverters or stops for varying package sizes, minimizing line downtime.
Utilize the 7068 N push force at 0.9 MPa for assembly presses, using the rear screw to precisely set the bottoming position for delicate components.
Choose this 100 mm bore when an application requires heavy thrust beyond the 4523 N push force of an 80 mm cylinder, but less than the 11045 N provided by a 125 mm bore. The 100 mm adjustment code is ideal for machinery requiring significant travel flexibility during product changeovers, eliminating the need to physically swap cylinders or bolt on external stops. At 280 mm stroke, the unsupported load should be guided externally to prevent excessive side-loading on the 25 mm rod.
For an exact ISO 15552 replacement match, verify the 100 mm bore, 280 mm nominal stroke, 100 mm adjuster, G1/2 PT ports, and carbon steel rod. Note that SAIJ supports a specific mounting subset: Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. The rear adjuster acts strictly as a travel stop and does not hold the load without live air; for pneumatic locking, consider the SAIL or BSAI series.
Quick checklist
At its maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, this 100 mm bore cylinder generates a push force of 7068 N and a pull force of 3681 N. At 0.5 MPa, it provides 3927 N of push force.
The rear adjuster screw allows you to mechanically shorten the effective stroke by up to 100 mm. This creates a usable travel window of 180 to 280 mm, enabling fine-tuning of the end position without altering the pneumatic plumbing.
