The AirTAC Airtac Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ32 SAIJ32BX270-20 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 270mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its standardized mounting interface makes it a drop-in replacement for other ISO 15552 cylinders in automation lines.
The AirTAC SAIJ32X270-20 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that allows you to trim the effective travel back by up to 20 mm. This yields a usable stroke window of 250-270 mm, providing precise end-position tuning at commissioning without swapping out the entire unit. It delivers a 0.5 MPa push force of 402 N and features a SUS304 stainless steel rod for enhanced corrosion resistance.
The unit uses PT tapered port threads and relies on adjustable air cushions at both ends to manage end-of-stroke deceleration. Remember that this rear adjuster acts strictly as a travel stop, not a load-holding lock; the cylinder cannot maintain its position without continuous live air pressure. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for flexible mounting of CMSE or DMSE switches.

Dial in the exact 250-270 mm travel window during initial commissioning to perfectly strike a workpiece without adding external mechanical stops.
Quickly adjust the end-stop position by up to 20 mm when running a slightly shorter product size on the same production line.
Fine-tune the clamping reach on light-duty fixtures using the rear screw, ensuring precise contact without repositioning the entire cylinder assembly.
When configuring this 32 mm bore unit, note that stepping up to a 40 mm bore increases the 0.5 MPa push force to 628 N, whereas dropping down is not an option below the standard 32 mm series. Choosing the SAIJ32X270-20 over a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder makes sense when you need variable end-stops for product changeovers or fine-tuning machine setup. To replace this ISO 15552 cylinder accurately, match the 32 mm bore, 270 mm stroke, 20 mm adjustment, PT ports, and the SUS304 (B) rod material.
With a 270 mm stroke, the 12 mm diameter piston rod has an unsupported length that warrants attention. While the robust M10x1.25 rod thread handles moderate loads well, you should still use an external guide to prevent side-load damage during extended travel.
Quick checklist
At a standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 32 mm bore cylinder provides a push force of 402 N and a pull force of 345 N. The maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
The rear adjuster screw lets you shorten the nominal 270 mm stroke by up to 20 mm, creating a usable travel window of 250-270 mm. This allows for fine end-position tuning without replacing the cylinder.
