The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX1000-50S 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-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that creates a 950 to 1000 mm usable travel window. Equipped with a SUS304 stainless steel rod and a magnetic piston for position sensing, it delivers 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The PT tapered port threads ensure a tight, reliable pneumatic connection.
Because the nominal 1000 mm stroke is dialed back by up to 50 mm via the rear stopper screw, you can fine-tune the end position during commissioning without adding external stops. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for flexible mounting of CMSE reed or DMSE electronic switches. This adjustable design omits the FB, CA, CB, and CR mounting kits, utilizing a focused set of Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 brackets.

Dial in the 950-1000 mm travel window to precisely position a diverter arm on variable-width conveyor lines without swapping cylinders.
Use the 50 mm rear adjustment to fine-tune the retract end position during format changeovers, avoiding the need to bolt on physical stop blocks.
Adjust the push-back distance for different carton depths on a packaging line, relying on the 628 N thrust to move loads reliably.
Choose this 40 mm bore when an application requires roughly 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, stepping up from a 32 mm bore that provides 402 N, or down from a 50 mm bore yielding 982 N. An adjustable stroke is preferred over a fixed SAI cylinder when you need to trim the end-of-travel position during product changeovers or machine setup. The rear adjuster acts purely as a travel stop and does not hold the load without live air; for true load-holding without pressure, consider an external rod lock or the SAIL and BSAI locking cylinder series.
When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 40 mm bore, 1000 mm nominal stroke, 50 mm adjustment range, PT port threads, and the -S magnet requirement. Since this unit features a 1000 mm stroke, the 16 mm rod and M12x1.25 rod thread should be paired with an external guide to prevent excessive side-loading on the piston.
Quick checklist
The rear stopper screw allows you to shorten the effective travel from the 1000 mm nominal stroke by up to 50 mm, providing a 950 to 1000 mm adjustable window. It acts as a mechanical stop for end-position tuning and is not a locking mechanism.
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, it provides 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 879 N.
