The AirTAC SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40AX280-100 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 280mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its standardized mounting interface makes it interchangeable with other ISO 15552 cylinders at the mounting interface.
The AirTAC SAIJ40X280-100 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that trims the nominal 280 mm travel back by up to 100 mm, yielding a usable 180-280 mm positioning window. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, and the rod is SUS420J2 stainless steel (code A) for enhanced corrosion resistance.
This model uses PT tapered G1/4 ports and reaches speeds of 30-800 mm/s. The rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop to fine-tune the end position at commissioning without adding external stops; it does not lock the load without live air pressure. Mounting options are limited to Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, omitting the FB, CA, CB, and CR brackets.

Double-rod model: the rod passes through the rear cover, so both piston faces lose rod area and push is shown at the annular-area value. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

Adjust the stroke on the fly for packaging lines handling different box sizes, utilizing the 30-800 mm/s speed range.
Choose this 40 mm bore adjustable-stroke cylinder when an application requires precise end-position tuning during setup or product changeover, rather than a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder. If your process needs less force, stepping down to a 32 mm bore yields 402 N at 0.5 MPa; if higher thrust is required, moving up to a 50 mm bore provides 982 N at 0.5 MPa. Because the nominal stroke is 280 mm, the 16 mm rod and M12x1.25 thread provide good rigidity, but an external guide is still recommended to manage side loads. To replace an ISO 15552 unit, match the 40 mm bore, 280 mm stroke, 100 mm adjustment, PT G1/4 port, and the appropriate mounting bracket. Note that for load-holding without live air, you should use a SAIL or BSAI cylinder, as the SAIJ adjuster is not a brake.
Quick checklist
At 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 1130 N.
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop that lets you shorten the 280 mm nominal stroke by up to 100 mm, creating a usable 180-280 mm travel window. It only sets the end position and does not lock the load.
