The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ200 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ200X55-40 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø200mm bore and 55mm stroke, G3/4 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 SAIJ200X55-40 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, designed to provide massive thrust in a compact footprint. It features a 200mm bore and a 55mm nominal stroke, yielding a usable travel window of 15 to 55mm. This specific adjustment range allows operators to dial in exact end positions during machine commissioning without needing external stops. At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, it generates 15708N of push force and 15080N of pull force.
This extruded aluminum profile cylinder includes sensor grooves on both sides for straightforward position feedback integration. It uses a G3/4 port and a robust 40mm carbon steel rod with an M36x2 thread, providing high resistance against side loads. The unit features variable air cushions at both ends to manage deceleration of heavy loads, operating effectively at speeds between 30 and 500 mm/s.

Related SAI-family variants: SAID (double rod), SAIJ (adjustable stroke), SAIL (with lock), SAIF (with valve), BSAI (enclasp / clamp-lock), and SAI-S with built-in magnet. Rod material: carbon steel (blank) / SUS420J2 (A) / SUS304 (B); seals: TPU (blank) / Viton H / NBR N.
Ideal for high-force pressing operations where the exact bottoming position must be tuned within a 15-55mm window to prevent workpiece damage.
Enables rapid adjustment of the retract end-position during product changeovers, eliminating the need to physically swap out cylinders or add shims.
Provides robust clamping force for large components, allowing operators to fine-tune the clamping depth directly at the rear stopper.
Selecting this 200mm bore model is appropriate when an application demands extremely high force, such as 15708N push at 0.5 MPa, within a very short travel distance. If the application requires less force, stepping down to a 160mm bore provides 10053N of push force at 0.5 MPa, which might avoid oversizing. The adjustable stroke is chosen over a fixed SAI cylinder when the exact end-of-travel position needs fine-tuning on the fly, such as accommodating slight variations in workpiece dimensions during setup.
Because this cylinder features a 55mm stroke, it is well below the 300mm threshold where external side-load guides become strictly necessary, though the heavy 40mm rod naturally handles substantial loads. It is important to note that the rear adjuster acts only as a travel stop and does not hold the load without live air pressure; for true load-holding without continuous air, consider the SAIL or BSAI series. This configuration uses PT tapered ports, carbon steel rod material, and no magnet. It supports a reduced mounting set including Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR options.
Quick checklist
At a standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 200mm bore cylinder generates a push force of 15708N and a pull force of 15080N. It can reach a maximum push force of 28274N at 0.9 MPa.
The rear adjuster allows you to shorten the 55mm nominal stroke by up to 40mm, creating a usable travel window of 15 to 55mm. This stopper fine-tunes the end position but does not lock the load without continuous air pressure.
