The AirTAC Airtac SAUJ100 Adjustable Cylinder SAUJ100X900-20S is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 900mm 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 SAUJ100X900-20S is a double-acting single-rod profile cylinder with an on-site adjustable extend stroke. An external stop screw lets you trim the 900 mm maximum stroke by up to 20 mm, yielding a usable range of 880-900 mm. The extruded aluminum profile barrel makes it shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same 100 mm bore. It features a 1/2 inch air port, an M20x1.5 rod thread, and 29 mm adjustable air cushions at both ends.
This bore delivers substantial thrust: 3927 N push and 3681 N pull at 0.5 MPa, reaching 7068 N push at 0.9 MPa. A practical computed insight is a safe working load of roughly 2356 N, or a 200 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The -S suffix means a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. For high-heat environments, Viton H seals extend the operating range to 150 C.

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.
Demands field stroke tuning to set precise bottom-dead-center on varying material thicknesses, using the stop screw for exact 880-900 mm positioning.
Requires adjustable extend limits to accommodate different package sizes on the fly without changing out the entire actuator assembly.
Needs on-site stroke trimming to handle mixed pallet heights safely, relying on the 3927 N push force to halt heavy loads securely.
When sizing this unit, compare both directions: the 100 mm bore yields 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the smaller 80 mm bore gives 2513 N. Choose the SAUJ over a fixed SAU when you need final extend length tuning without buying a new cylinder. The 20 mm adjust window is ideal for fine-tuning machine stops. Basic, FA, and LB mounts are available, sharing compatibility with the AirTAC SC series. Because the -S magnet is present, you can fit reed or electronic switches. At 900 mm stroke, add external guides to prevent rod bending and manage side loads.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it provides 3927 N push and 3681 N pull. Push force is 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 external stop screw allows you to shorten the 900 mm extend stroke by up to 20 mm on-site, giving a usable range of 880-900 mm.
The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for mounting CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors for position detection. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold load on air loss; the piston drifts and the cushion only decelerates. The stop screw sets end position but is not a load lock. For held loads, use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
