The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ100X290-40S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 290mm 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 SAIJ100X290-40-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, delivering 3927N of push force at 0.5 MPa. By turning the rear stopper screw, you can fine-tune the effective travel within a 250 to 290 mm window without swapping out the cylinder. This makes it highly effective for product changeovers where exact end-positioning is critical.
This bore features a 25 mm carbon steel rod with an M20x1.5 thread, paired with a PT tapered G1/2 port to handle high flow. Because it includes the -S magnet, it integrates seamlessly with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic solid-state sensors housed in the dual-side barrel grooves. The rear adjuster acts strictly as a travel stop to set deceleration limits, not as a lock, so live air is required to hold the load.

Dial in the 250-290 mm stroke window during format changes on packaging lines, accommodating different carton sizes without replacing hardware.
Trim the end-of-travel position by up to 40 mm during machine setup to perfectly align heavy press tools under the 7068N push force at 0.9 MPa.
Adjust the retract distance on the fly for automated assembly stations that need precise mechanical stops rather than relying solely on sensor signals.
Choose this 100 mm bore when a 80 mm cylinder (providing 2513N push at 0.5 MPa) lacks the necessary thrust, but you want to avoid stepping up to a 125 mm unit. The adjustable 250-290 mm travel window is selected over a fixed SAI cylinder when a machine requires variable end-stops or commissioning fine-tune capabilities. For a true drop-in replacement, match the 100 mm bore, 290 mm stroke, 40 mm adjustment, PT G1/2 port, and -S magnet.
At 290 mm of travel, the unsupported 25 mm rod is subject to bending under heavy lateral loads, so an external guide rail should accompany the cylinder. Mounting options are limited to the SAIJ subset: Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, omitting the FB, CA, CB, and CR brackets. If your process requires holding a load without continuous air pressure, use a SAIL pneumatic lock or a BSAI clamp-lock instead of relying on the rear stopper.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 100 mm bore cylinder provides 3927N of push force and 3681N of pull force. At 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 7068N.
The rear adjuster screw allows you to shorten the nominal 290 mm stroke by up to 40 mm, creating an effective travel window of 250 to 290 mm. This stopper sets the travel end and deceleration point, but it does not lock the load without live air pressure.
