The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ100X290-50 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 SAIJ100X290-50 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, delivering a robust 7068N of push force at 0.9 MPa. By turning the external stopper screw, you can dial back the nominal 290mm stroke by up to 50mm, creating a precise 240-290mm usable travel window. This on-machine fine-tuning eliminates the need to swap cylinders or bolt on external stops during product changeovers.
The 25mm carbon steel piston rod and M20x1.5 thread provide high rigidity, though at 290mm of travel an external guide is recommended to manage side loads. The extruded aluminum barrel features sensor grooves on both sides for CMSE reed or DMSE electronic switches. It uses a G1/2 port and variable air cushions at both ends to decelerate the load smoothly.

Quickly alter the effective stroke from 240 to 290mm to accommodate different package sizes on a packaging line without changing the cylinder.
Fine-tune the exact retract position during machine setup to perfect pressing or clamping operations without adding external physical stops.
Leverage the 7068N push force to move heavy pallets or fixtures, using the adjustable stroke to compensate for mechanical tolerance stack-up.
Choose this 100mm bore when a 80mm cylinder's 4523N push at 0.9 MPa is insufficient, but a 125mm bore is oversized. The 50mm adjustment range is ideal for machinery requiring frequent end-position tweaks without mechanical modifications. Unlike a fixed-stroke SAI, this SAIJ variant allows you to set the exact retract stop during commissioning.
For a drop-in ISO 15552 replacement, match the 100mm bore, 290mm stroke, 50mm adjustment, G1/2 PT port, and your preferred mounting bracket from the SAIJ set (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2). Because the stroke is 290mm, ensure proper external guidance to prevent rod side-loading. Remember that the rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock; for load-holding without live air pressure, specify an AirTAC SAIL or BSAI cylinder.
Quick checklist
At 0.9 MPa operating pressure, this 100mm bore cylinder provides 7068N of push force and 6648N of pull force. At the maximum 1.0 MPa, it delivers up to 801 kgf.
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop, allowing you to shorten the effective travel from the 290mm nominal stroke down to 240mm. This stopper only sets the end position; it does not lock the load without live air pressure.
