The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX120-100S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 120mm 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 SAIJ40X120-100-S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It provides a nominal 120 mm stroke that can be dialed back by up to 100 mm, yielding a highly flexible 20-120 mm usable travel window for precise commissioning. Delivering 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it bridges the gap between compact 32 mm bores and heavier 50 mm units.
This specific SKU is built with a SUS304 stainless steel rod (option B) for superior corrosion resistance and ships with a magnet (-S) for position sensing. You can mount AirTAC CMSE reed or DMSE electronic solid-state switches directly into the sensor grooves machined on both sides of the extruded aluminum barrel. It uses a PT tapered port thread and relies on the standard SAIJ mounting set, which includes Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 options.

Dial in the exact end position during line changeovers by trimming the travel window anywhere from 20 to 120 mm without physically replacing the actuator.
Perfect for test fixtures where the rear stopper screw is micro-adjusted to find the optimal extension length before finalizing a machine design.
The SUS304 stainless steel rod handles washdown or humid environments while providing repeatable positioning feedback via CMSE or DMSE sensors.
Select this 40 mm bore when an application demands 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa but requires extreme flexibility in the end-of-stroke position; if you need less force, stepping down to a 32 mm bore yields 402 N, while a 50 mm bore provides 982 N. The massive 100 mm adjustment range is ideal for prototyping or product changeovers, allowing you to shorten the effective travel from 120 mm down to 20 mm without swapping the cylinder or adding external mechanical stops. Because the rear adjuster acts strictly as a travel stop and the air cushion only manages deceleration, neither will hold a load without live air pressure; for true load-holding, consider an external rod lock or the AirTAC SAIL series.
To match this exact ISO 15552 interchangeable cylinder, specify a 40 mm bore, 120 mm nominal stroke, 100 mm adjustment range, PT port threads, and the -S magnet option. Since the 120 mm stroke is below the 300 mm threshold, side-load stress on the 16 mm rod is moderate, though external guides are still recommended for heavy off-center loads.
Quick checklist
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop that lets you shorten the effective stroke by up to 100 mm. This creates a usable travel window of 20 to 120 mm, allowing you to fine-tune the end position at commissioning without changing the cylinder.
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, it provides 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force. If you run it at 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 879 N.
