The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ100X55-50S 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 SAIJ100X55-50-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, providing a usable travel window of 5 to 55 mm. Designed for fine end-position tuning at commissioning, it eliminates the need to swap cylinders or bolt on external stops during product changeovers. It features a standard carbon steel rod and a PT tapered port.
In this 100 mm bore configuration, the cylinder delivers a robust 7068 N push force at 0.9 MPa and 5497 N at 0.7 MPa. The rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop to set the travel end and does not lock the load without live air pressure. For position holding without continuous air, an external rod lock, pilot-operated check valve, or the related SAIL or BSAI series is required.

Fine-tune the 5-55 mm travel window to apply precise clamping or pressing force across different material thicknesses.
Use the rear adjuster to set the exact retraction end position during initial commissioning, avoiding external stopper hardware.
Select this 100 mm bore model when an application demands high thrust combined with variable end stops, such as pressing or clamping operations where the exact travel distance changes between product runs. If the 7068 N push force at 0.9 MPa exceeds your requirement, stepping down to the 80 mm bore yields 4523 N, whereas moving up to the 125 mm bore provides 11045 N.
The integrated -S magnet supports AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors housed within the dual-side sensor grooves. Because the 55 mm nominal stroke is relatively short, side-loading is naturally minimized, but the robust 25 mm rod and M20x1.5 thread handle higher offset loads well. This adjustable-stroke design is preferred over a fixed SAI cylinder when you need on-the-fly mechanical fine-tuning rather than relying solely on the variable air cushions at both ends.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa it provides 5497 N of push force, and at 0.9 MPa it delivers 7068 N. The pull force at 0.5 MPa is 3681 N.
The rear adjusting screw lets you mechanically shorten the 55 mm nominal stroke by up to 50 mm, creating a usable travel window of 5 to 55 mm. The adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock, so the cylinder requires live air to hold its position.
