The AirTAC Airtac SAUJ32 Adjustable Stroke Cylinder SAUJ32X280-10S is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 280mm stroke, 1/8" 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 SAUJ32X280-10S is a double-acting, single-rod profile cylinder with an external stop screw that lets you shorten the extend stroke by up to 10 mm on-site. This gives a usable working stroke of 270-280 mm, letting you fine-tune end positioning without buying a new actuator. It features a 1/8" port, an M10x1.25 rod thread, and a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
Designed with an extruded aluminum profile barrel, this unit is notably shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same 32 mm bore. It delivers a push force of 402 N and a pull force of 345 N at 0.5 MPa. For practical sizing, the safe working load is roughly 241 N, and it can manage a vertical lift of about 20 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The adjustable air cushion is 21 mm at each end, and a Viton H seal option extends operating temperatures from -20 to +70 C up to 0-150 C.

Trimming the extend stroke by up to 10 mm on-site allows precise gate positioning in compact pneumatic dispensing machinery.
Field-tune the 270-280 mm working stroke to perfectly match product sizes on a packaging line without swapping the cylinder.
Provides a 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa with a fine external stop screw to set the exact compression distance for delicate components.
When sizing this 32 mm bore actuator against neighbors, note the 40 mm bore raises the 0.5 MPa push force to 628 N, while a 25 mm bore drops it significantly. Choose this SAUJ model over a fixed SAU when your assembly requires minor on-site stroke trimming to hit a precise end position. The 10 mm adjust window is ideal for micro-adjustments. Mounting options include Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, and the -S suffix means a piston magnet is already included for electronic or reed switches. For this 280 mm stroke, ensure external guidance to prevent side-loading damage.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder delivers a push force of 402 N and a pull force of 345 N at 0.5 MPa, 563 N push at 0.7 MPa, 724 N push at 0.9 MPa, and a theoretical max of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The nominal 280 mm extend stroke can be shortened by up to 10 mm on-site using the external stop screw, yielding a 270-280 mm usable window.
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 a load on air loss; the piston drifts and the 21 mm air cushion only decelerates near stroke end. The stop screw sets the end position but is not a load lock. For held loads, use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
