The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ100X55-40 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 55mm 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 SAIJ100X55-40 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, delivering 3927N of push force at 0.5 MPa. It features a 25mm carbon steel piston rod and a G1/2 PT tapered port. By integrating an external adjusting screw, this model allows you to fine-tune the effective travel within a 15-55mm window without swapping out the entire unit.
The rear stopper lets you dial in the exact end-position during commissioning or product changeovers, serving as a travel stop rather than a locking mechanism. Built with an extruded aluminum barrel housing sensor grooves on both sides, it accommodates AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors. Mounting options include Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, deliberately omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR configurations.

Dial in the exact retract distance within the 15-55mm window during machine commissioning to achieve precise positioning without adding external stops.
Quickly adjust the stroke end by up to 40mm when switching product sizes on a line, minimizing downtime and avoiding cylinder replacement.
Leverage the 3927N push force at 0.5 MPa for light pressing operations, using the rear screw to set the exact depth of travel for each batch.
Choose this 100mm bore when an 80mm cylinder lacks thrust, as stepping down to an 80mm bore yields 2513N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The adjustable 15-55mm travel window is ideal for applications requiring variable end-stops or frequent machine setup, offering greater flexibility than a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder. To match an ISO 15552 replacement, verify the 100mm bore, 55mm stroke, 40mm adjustment, G1/2 port, and mounting style.
Because the stroke is relatively short at 55mm, side-loading is less of a concern than with longer strokes, but the 25mm rod still handles robust axial loads. Remember that the rear adjuster only sets the travel end and does not hold the load without live air; for true load-holding, consider an AirTAC SAIL or BSAI cylinder.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, this 100mm bore cylinder provides 3927N of push force and 3681N of pull force. If you need higher force, operating at 0.7 MPa yields 5497N of push force.
The rear adjusting screw acts as a mechanical stopper, allowing you to shorten the 55mm nominal stroke by up to 40mm. This creates a usable travel window of 15-55mm, which can be fine-tuned during setup without changing the cylinder.
