The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX1000-50 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 1000mm stroke, G1/4 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 SAIJ40X1000-50 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that allows you to fine-tune the effective travel window down to 950-1000 mm. Delivering 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it uses a 16 mm carbon steel piston rod with an M12x1.25 thread. This specific configuration incorporates a SUS304 stainless steel rod (option B) for superior corrosion resistance, alongside PT tapered port threads.
Because the nominal 1000 mm stroke is near the maximum standard limit for this bore, the external adjuster provides crucial flexibility for end-position tuning without swapping hardware. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, and the rear stopper acts purely as a travel limiter and deceleration point—it does not hold the load without live air pressure.

Dial in the 950-1000 mm travel window during product size changes without physically swapping the cylinder or adding external mechanical stops.
Fine-tune the retract stroke at commissioning to compensate for mechanical tolerances across long 1000 mm assemblies.
Leverage the SUS304 stainless steel rod option for reliable actuation in washdown or mildly corrosive industrial settings.
Choose this adjustable model over a fixed SAI cylinder when your setup requires variable end-stops or precise commissioning tweaks across a 950-1000 mm range. If your application requires less force, stepping down to a 32 mm bore yields 402 N at 0.5 MPa; if you need more power, a 50 mm bore provides 982 N. At 1000 mm of travel, the 16 mm rod is susceptible to deflection under side loads, so an external guide is strongly recommended to prevent premature seal wear.
To replace an existing ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 40 mm bore, 1000 mm stroke, 50 mm adjustment, PT G1/4 ports, and your required mounting interface. SAIJ supports a reduced mounting set including Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, intentionally omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR brackets. Remember that the rear adjuster is a stop, not a lock; for load-holding without live air, consider an AirTAC SAIL or BSAI cylinder.
Quick checklist
The rear adjuster screw lets you shorten the effective travel by up to 50 mm, creating a usable stroke window of 950-1000 mm. It acts as a physical stop and deceleration point, but does not lock or hold the load without continuous air pressure.
At 0.5 MPa, the 40 mm bore generates 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force. The standard speed range for this bore size is 30-800 mm/s.
