The AirTAC SAIJ80 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ80BX185-20 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 185mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its standardized mounting interface makes it interchangeable with other ISO 15552 cylinders at the mounting interface.
The AirTAC SAIJ80X185-20 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that trims the nominal 185 mm travel back by up to 20 mm, creating a precise 165-185 mm usable window. This on-machine tuning eliminates the need to swap cylinders or bolt on external stops during commissioning. Delivering 2268 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, it is built with a SUS304 stainless steel rod for corrosion resistance and uses PT tapered ports.
The rear adjuster functions strictly as a mechanical stop to set the retraction end-position and works alongside the variable air cushions at both ends to decelerate the load. It does not hold the load without live air pressure; for true load-holding, an external rod lock or the AirTAC SAIL pneumatic lock version is required. This SAIJ model supports a focused mounting set including Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.

Double-rod model: the rod passes through the rear cover, so both piston faces lose rod area and push is shown at the annular-area value. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

Dial in the exact 165-185 mm retraction point during machine format changeovers without replacing the cylinder or adding external shims.
Set precise retract stops for machining operations where the raw material thickness varies slightly between production batches.
Fine-tune the pressing depth on the fly during line commissioning to ensure perfect component seating without over-stroking.
Selecting this 80 mm bore over a smaller 63 mm bore steps the thrust up significantly from 1402 N to 2268 N pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it suitable for heavier actuation demands. The adjustable stroke is chosen when a process requires fine end-position tuning during product changeovers, whereas a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder is preferred for static, repetitive cycles. Because this unit lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot host CMSE reed or DMSE electronic sensors for position feedback.
To replace an ISO 15552 cylinder with this SAIJ model, match the 80 mm bore, 185 mm stroke, 20 mm adjustment range, PT port threads, and the SUS304 (B) rod material. At an 185 mm stroke, the 25 mm rod diameter and M20x1.5 rod thread provide robust resistance to side loads, but any application with an unsupported load still requires an external guide rail to prevent rod binding.
Quick checklist
The maximum operating pressure is 1.0 MPa.
The rear adjuster screw allows you to shorten the nominal 185 mm stroke by up to 20 mm, providing a usable travel window of 165-185 mm. The adjuster acts as a mechanical stop to fine-tune the retract position and does not lock the load without continuous air pressure.
