The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ100X280-75 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 SAIJ100X280-75 is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster. It delivers a robust 3927N push force at 0.5 MPa and utilizes a G1/2 port with a 25mm carbon steel rod. The integrated adjuster allows you to dial back the 280mm nominal stroke by up to 75mm, creating a precise 205-280mm usable travel window for on-the-fly positioning.
This adjustable design eliminates the need to swap cylinders or bolt on external stops during product changeovers. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for CMSE reed or DMSE electronic switches. It uses a reduced mounting set of Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, omitting the FB, CA, CB, and CR options found on some standard variants.

Dial in the exact retraction point between 205 and 280mm during machine setup without replacing the entire cylinder or adding secondary stop blocks.
Quickly adapt the stroke length on packaging lines handling different carton sizes by turning the rear adjuster to match the new format requirements.
Leverage the 3927N push force to move heavy jigs into place, relying on the fine-tuned end position to ensure accurate mating of large components.
Choose this 100mm bore when an 80mm bore (providing 2513N push at 0.5 MPa) is insufficient for moving heavy actuators, but a 125mm bore is oversized for your space constraints. The SAIJ100X280-75 is selected over a fixed-stroke SAI when the exact end-of-stroke position must be fine-tuned at commissioning or adjusted for varying product sizes on a shared production line. Because the 280mm stroke exceeds 300mm, an external guide is recommended to prevent excessive side loading on the 25mm rod. Remember that the rear adjuster acts only as a travel stop and does not hold the load without live air; for true load-holding without pressure, consider the SAIL or BSAI series.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 100mm bore cylinder provides 3927N of push force and 3681N of pull force. If you need higher thrust, stepping up to a 125mm bore yields 6136N of push force.
The rear adjusting screw acts as a mechanical stopper that lets you shorten the effective travel from the 280mm nominal stroke down to 205mm. It only sets the end-of-stroke deceleration point and does not lock the load without continuous air pressure.
