The AirTAC Airtac SAUJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAUJ100X90-40S is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 90mm 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.
The AirTAC SAUJ100X90-40S is a double-acting single-rod profile cylinder with an on-site adjustable extend stroke. An external stop screw lets you shorten the 90 mm nominal travel by up to 40 mm, yielding a usable range of 50-90 mm. It features a hard-anodized extruded aluminum barrel, making it shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. This 100 mm bore unit uses a 1/2 inch port and an M20x1.5 rod thread.
In the 100 mm class, this cylinder delivers a push force of 3927 N and a pull force of 3681 N at 0.5 MPa. A practical computed insight: the safe working load is roughly 2356 N, which translates to a vertical lift capacity of about 200 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The -S suffix means a built-in piston magnet is present for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensing. The external stop sets the end position but does not lock the load; you need an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold a load securely against air loss.

Related SAU-family variants: SAUD (double rod), SAUJ (adjustable stroke), SAUF (with built-in solenoid valve), and SAU-S with built-in magnet. Seals: TPU (blank) / Viton H / NBR N. Sensor switches: CMSG / DMSG / EMSG.
Allows operators to fine-tune the 50-90 mm extend position on-site for pressing bearings, accommodating material thickness variations without changing the cylinder.
Ideal for packaging lines where the extend stroke needs precise 40 mm shortening to adjust sealing head heights for different carton formats.
Provides adjustable stopping points for product diverters, letting maintenance teams trim the extend end position to match new conveyor widths.
When sizing this 100 mm bore actuator, compare it against the 80 mm neighbor: the 80 mm bore provides 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa, while this 100 mm unit outputs 3927 N at the same pressure, giving you a substantial step up in thrust. Choose the SAUJ over a fixed-stroke SAU when your machine assembly requires field tuning of the extend position within a 50-90 mm window, avoiding the need to buy multiple cylinders. Mounting options include Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, with compatibility matching the AirTAC SC series. The -S magnet allows electronic or reed switch integration. For this 90 mm stroke, side-load is minimal, but for any stroke over 300 mm, always use external guide rails to prevent piston binding.
Quick checklist
This 100 mm bore cylinder has a 90 mm nominal extend stroke that can be shortened by up to 40 mm on-site, giving a 50-90 mm usable range. It provides 3927 N push and 3681 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 5497 N push at 0.7 MPa, 7068 N push at 0.9 MPa, and a theoretical max of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port is 1/2 inch.
The external stop screw physically limits the piston's extend travel, allowing you to trim the stroke by up to 40 mm without disassembly. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet, enabling the use of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors for position detection. Note that the stop screw only sets the end position; it does not lock the load.
