The AirTAC Airtac JSI Series Standard Cylinder JSI40X15 is a genuine double acting JIS-standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 15mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its no-tie-rod, hard-anodized profile barrel is more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore — a space-saver on tight machines.
Delivering 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, the AirTAC JSI40X15 is a double-acting JIS-standard profile cylinder built for exceptionally tight spaces. Its 15 mm stroke is a non-standard, made-to-order dimension below the usual 25 mm minimum, making it perfect for very short clamping or ejecting motions. Because it uses an extruded hard-anodized aluminum barrel instead of external rods, the overall envelope is noticeably shorter and more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same 40 mm bore.
The internal two-way piston seal retains grease for a long, low-friction service life, while the adjustable air cushions at both ends decelerate the piston near stroke end. Plan for about 377 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting roughly 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSE or DMSE position sensors; add the -S variant if you need drop-in side-groove sensing. Air connects via a G1/4 port.

Provides 628 N of push at 0.5 MPa to hold thin sheet metal or plastic parts securely in place during light CNC machining operations.
Uses its 15 mm travel to kick small cartons off a packaging line quickly, fitting into machinery gaps where a standard 25 mm stroke would collide.
Indexes lightweight electronic components into a testing fixture, taking advantage of the 32 kg vertical lift capacity to raise delicate assemblies.
When sizing this 40 mm bore, stepping down to a 32 mm bore drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 402 N, while stepping up to a 50 mm bore increases it to 982 N. Since this is a non-standard 15 mm stroke, expect a made-to-order lead time. Remember that a plain cylinder drifts if air is lost or the valve is centered; the cushions only decelerate the piston and do not act as a lock. For a held load, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Standard mounting options include LB foot, FA/FB flange, CA/CB/CR clevis, TC/TCM1/TCM2 trunnion, or an I/Y/F/U rod knuckle.
Quick checklist
The 40 mm bore produces 628 N push and 528 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 879 N push and 739 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a G1/4 air port, a 16 mm rod, and an M14x1.5 rod-end thread.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSE or DMSE switches. You must select the -S variant to utilize the side sensor grooves for position detection.
