The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ100X280-30 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 SAIJ100X280-30 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear mechanical stroke adjuster. It provides a 250-280 mm usable travel window, allowing you to dial back the nominal 280 mm stroke by up to 30 mm during commissioning without adding external stops. Delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it handles heavy actuation tasks with precision.
This 100 mm bore unit uses a G1/2 port and a 25 mm carbon steel rod with an M20x1.5 thread, providing robust resistance to side loads. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for flexible mounting of CMSE reed or DMSE electronic switches. It supports a standard mounting subset of Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.

Dial in the exact retract position within the 250-280 mm window when switching production lines to accommodate different product lengths.
Leverage the 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa for assembly operations while trimming the final approach distance safely.
Fine-tune the end-stop at startup to perfect timing without physically swapping the cylinder or bolting on external stoppers.
Choose this adjustable-stroke model over a fixed SAI cylinder when your application requires variable end positions or frequent product-size changeovers. The rear screw acts purely as a travel stop to fine-tune the retract end; it does not hold the load without live air pressure. For secure load-holding, select a SAIL pneumatic lock, a BSAI clamp-lock, or an external rod lock.
When specifying an ISO 15552 replacement, match the 100 mm bore, 280 mm stroke, 30 mm adjustment, PT tapered port thread, and your required mounting style. Because the 280 mm stroke is substantial, ensure an external guide supports the load to prevent rod bending, as the 25 mm rod alone cannot absorb excessive deflection.
Quick checklist
The rear adjuster screw lets you shorten the effective travel from the nominal 280 mm down to 250 mm. This stopper sets the retract end position but does not lock or hold the load without continuous air pressure.
It provides 3927 N of push force and 3681 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 5497 N.
