Airtac SAUJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAUJ100X170-30S
The AirTAC Airtac SAUJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAUJ100X170-30S is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 170mm stroke, 1/2" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its hard-anodized aluminum-profile barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore, and it shares SC-series mounting accessories.

About the Airtac SAUJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAUJ100X170-30S
The AirTAC SAUJ100X170-30S is a double-acting, single-rod profile cylinder with an on-site adjustable extend stroke. An external stop screw lets you shorten the 170 mm nominal stroke by up to 30 mm, yielding a usable range of 140-170 mm without buying a new actuator. It features a 1/2 inch port, an M20x1.5 rod thread, and 29 mm adjustable air cushions at each end. The extruded aluminum profile barrel makes this unit shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore.
This 100 mm bore generates a push force of 3927 N and a pull force of 3681 N at 0.5 MPa. The built-in piston magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for position feedback. For sizing, the safe working load is roughly 2356 N, which equates to a vertical lift capacity of about 200 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. You can also specify Viton H seals to raise the operating temperature from 70 C up to 150 C.

Where the Airtac SAUJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAUJ100X170-30S Is Used
Press Fit Dialing
Allows operators to fine-tune the 30 mm extend window on-site to achieve the exact insertion depth for bearing press fits without swapping actuators.
Variable Carton Sealing
Adjusts the extend end position on the fly to accommodate different flap heights on packaging lines, ensuring consistent sealing pressure.
Pallet Stop Calibration
Provides a field-adjustable hard stop for pallet positioning conveyors, letting maintenance crews shift the end point up to 30 mm to align with new pallet sizes.
Is the Airtac SAUJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAUJ100X170-30S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, step down to an 80 mm bore if your application only requires 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, or step up if you need more than the 3927 N provided here. Choose the SAUJ adjustable version over a fixed SAU when your machine build requires field tuning of the extend endpoint. The 30 mm stop screw window is ideal for dialing in exact positioning without mechanical shims. Mounting options include Basic, FA flange, and LB foot, with compatibility matching the AirTAC SC series. The -S suffix ensures you have a piston magnet ready for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. For this 170 mm stroke, guide external loads to prevent side-load wear on the rod seals.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — consider a guided cylinder
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (FA/FB/CA/CB/LB — same as SC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SAUJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAUJ100X170-30S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 100 mm bore cylinder provides 3927 N of push force and 3681 N of pull force. Push force increases to 5497 N at 0.7 MPa and 7068 N at 0.9 MPa, with a theoretical max of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 170 mm nominal extend stroke can be shortened by up to 30 mm via an external stop screw, giving a usable range of 140-170 mm.
The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for use with CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches. Note that the stop screw only sets the end position; it is not a load lock. The air cushions merely decelerate the piston near the end of stroke. Because a plain cylinder will drift on air loss, you must use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold a load safely.
