The AirTAC Airtac JSI Series Standard Cylinder JSI40X240TC is a genuine double acting JIS-standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 240mm 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.
Generating 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting AirTAC JIS profile cylinder saves valuable space on tight machines by being noticeably shorter than an equivalent ISO 15552 bore. The extruded hard-anodized aluminum barrel uses no external rods, while a two-way piston seal retains grease for a long, low-friction service life. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSE or DMSE position switches.
For practical sizing, plan for roughly 377 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The unit features a G1/4 port, an M14x1.5 rod thread, and 20.5 mm adjustable air cushions at both ends to absorb impact. If your sequence needs dual rods or a custom stroke, consider the related JSID or JSIJ variants.

Provides the 528 N pull force at 0.5 MPa needed to retract and hold material grippers on automated assembly lines.
Strokes 240 mm to push small cardboard cartons from a main conveyor belt into a secondary packing lane.
Extends into a pallet flow lane to halt incoming wooden pallets, handling the impact via its adjustable cushions.
When sizing this 40 mm bore, dropping down to a JSI32 drops the output to 402 N push, while stepping up to a JSI50 increases it to 982 N. The integrated TC trunnion mount provides a pivoting axis ideal for articulated mechanisms. Remember that standard air cushions only decelerate the piston near the end of travel; they do not act as a brake. If the machine loses air, the rod will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for suspended loads. Additionally, the 240 mm stroke is long enough that you should guide the load to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it provides 628 N push and 528 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it provides 879 N push and 739 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port size is G1/4.
It is a JIS-standard profile cylinder that is shorter and more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same 40 mm bore. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSE or DMSE sensors; you would need the -S variant for position detection.
