The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ200 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ200AX280-20S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø200mm bore and 280mm stroke, G3/4 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 SAIJ200X280-20-S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It provides a nominal 280 mm stroke that can be fine-tuned backward by up to 20 mm, yielding a precise 260-280 mm usable travel window. This bore delivers immense thrust, generating 15708 N of push force and 15080 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, peaking at 3204 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
This configuration features a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (material code A) for enhanced corrosion resistance and includes a magnet (-S) for direct compatibility with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors. As an extruded aluminum profile cylinder, it carries sensor grooves on both sides. The rear adjuster functions strictly as a mechanical stop to dial in the retract end position during commissioning, not as a lock to hold the load without live air pressure.

Dial in the exact 260-280 mm end-stop during heavy press commissioning to accommodate material thickness variations without swapping cylinders.
Adjust the retract position on the fly for different pallet sizes on a conveyor line, utilizing the 20 mm trim range for rapid format changes.
Provide a robust mechanical stop for large-scale assembly fixtures, relying on the 3204 kgf maximum force capacity to halt heavy payloads safely.
Selecting this 200 mm bore cylinder is appropriate when your application requires massive output force that exceeds the 11045 N push capacity of the 125 mm bore at 0.5 MPa. The adjustable stroke is chosen over a fixed SAI cylinder when you need variable end-stops for product size changeovers or precise end-position tuning without adding external stops. For load-holding without continuous air pressure, this cylinder is insufficient; you must integrate a SAIL pneumatic lock, a BSAI clamp-lock, or an external rod lock.
Because this unit features a 280 mm stroke, the 40 mm rod and M36x2 rod thread provide substantial rigidity, but an external guide is still recommended to prevent excessive side-loading on the piston. To achieve exact ISO 15552 interchangeability, match the 200 mm bore, 280 mm stroke, 20 mm adjustment, PT tapered port threads, and the -S magnet. The SAIJ mounting set includes Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 options, deliberately omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR brackets.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 200 mm bore cylinder provides 15708 N of push force and 15080 N of pull force. At its maximum rated pressure of 1.0 MPa, it delivers up to 3204 kgf.
The rear adjusting screw acts as a mechanical stop, allowing you to shorten the effective stroke from 280 mm down to 260 mm. This creates a 260-280 mm travel window for fine-tuning the end position without moving the cylinder mounts.
