The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX120-40S 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 SAIJ40X120-40-S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster. It provides a nominal 120 mm stroke that can be dialed back by up to 40 mm, giving you a usable travel window of 80 to 120 mm to perfectly tune end positions at commissioning. Equipped with a SUS304 stainless steel rod and PT tapered ports, it delivers 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa.
This adjustable-stroke model uses an external rear stopper screw rather than requiring a cylinder swap or external stops to change your effective travel. The adjuster acts purely as a travel stop and relies on the integrated air cushions for end-deceleration, meaning it cannot hold a load without live air pressure. For load-holding requirements without continuous pressure, consider the SAIL or BSAI series instead.

Dial in the exact 80 to 120 mm travel window during machine setup without swapping cylinders or adding bulky external stopper blocks.
Quickly adjust the retract end-position to accommodate varying package sizes or product lengths on a shared transport conveyor.
Leverage the SUS304 stainless steel rod for light manufacturing tasks requiring corrosion resistance and precise stroke trimming.
Select this 40 mm bore cylinder when your application requires 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa, stepping up from the 32 mm bore (402 N push) for heavier workpieces or down from the 50 mm bore (982 N push) for lighter, faster assembly tasks. The adjustable 80 to 120 mm travel window is ideal for product changeovers on a line where exact end-of-stroke positioning varies slightly between fixtures. To match this ISO 15552 replacement, verify your 120 mm stroke, up to 40 mm adjustment, PT port threads, SUS304 rod, and the -S magnet for sensor compatibility.
Because the stroke is 120 mm, side loads are minimal, but long unsupported strokes still need an external guide to prevent rod binding. The SAIJ mounting set includes Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, omitting the FB, CA, CB, and CR options. The -S magnet works seamlessly with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic solid-state sensors mounted in the dual-sided sensor grooves.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 40 mm bore cylinder provides 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 879 N.
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop that shortens the effective travel. For this 120 mm stroke model, you can trim the stroke back by up to 40 mm, creating a usable travel window of 80 to 120 mm. It functions as a stop, not a lock, and requires live air to hold position.
