The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX125-40 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 125mm 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 SAIJ40X125-40 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that allows you to fine-tune the travel end-point during commissioning. By dialing the integrated stopper screw, you achieve a usable stroke window of 85 to 125 mm without adding external stops. Delivering 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, it fits medium-duty applications.
This unit uses a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance and features PT tapered port threads (G1/4) for a tight seal. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, ready for CMSE reed or DMSE solid-state switches if a magnet is later required. The rear adjuster acts purely as a travel stop and does not hold the load without live air pressure.

Dial in the 85 to 125 mm travel window to accommodate different package sizes on the fly without physically swapping out the cylinder.
Fine-tune the retract stroke during initial machine commissioning to perfect timing and positioning without external stopper blocks.
Leverage the 628 N push force to push or lift workpieces through processing stations while adjusting travel for varied tooling depths.
Choose this 40 mm bore when 32 mm bore thrust (402 N push at 0.5 MPa) is insufficient, but a 50 mm bore (982 N push) would be overkill. An adjustable stroke is selected over a fixed SAI cylinder when you need variable end-stops for product changeovers or precise machine setup.
For any load-holding requirements without continuous air pressure, note that this adjuster is not a brake; you should look at the SAIL or BSAI series instead. To match this exact configuration, specify a 40 mm bore, 125 mm nominal stroke, 40 mm adjustment, PT port threads, SUS304 rod, and no magnet. Because the nominal stroke is under 300 mm, side-load concerns are minimal, but long unsupported loads still need an external guide.
Quick checklist
At an operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, 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 lets you shorten the effective travel from the 125 mm nominal stroke down to a minimum of 85 mm. This creates an 85 to 125 mm adjustable window for precise end-position tuning without changing the cylinder.
