The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX135-50 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 135mm 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 SAIJ40X135-50 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that allows you to trim the nominal 135 mm travel back by up to 50 mm. This creates an 85-135 mm usable window, allowing precise end-position tuning at commissioning without swapping hardware. The extruded aluminum barrel avoids tie-rod construction and carries sensor grooves on both sides.
Operating at 0.5 MPa, it delivers 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force. This specific SKU is built with a SUS304 stainless steel rod (option B) for superior corrosion resistance and features PT tapered port threading. The 16 mm rod and M12x1.25 thread provide robust load transmission, while the 30 mm cushion length ensures controlled deceleration at both ends.

Dial in the 85-135 mm travel window during format changes on packaging lines without physically replacing the cylinder or adding external stopper blocks.
Fine-tune the exact retract end-position during machine setup, absorbing mechanical tolerances by adjusting the rear screw up to 50 mm.
Use the adjustable stroke to precisely set tooling contact depth on custom fixtures, leveraging the 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa.
Choose this 40 mm bore when 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa is sufficient, stepping down from a 50 mm bore (982 N) to save space and air consumption, or moving up from a 32 mm bore (402 N) when higher thrust is required. The 50 mm adjustment range is ideal for product changeovers, letting you dial in a new end-stop without adding external stops or changing the cylinder.
For a direct ISO 15552 replacement, match the 40 mm bore, 135 mm stroke, 50 mm adjustment, PT port thread, SUS304 rod, and standard mounting footprint. Since the stroke is 135 mm, ensure external guiding if side loads are present. Note that the rear adjuster acts only as a travel stop; for load-holding without live air pressure, consider an AirTAC SAIL or BSAI series cylinder.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, this 40 mm bore cylinder provides 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force. At 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 1130 N. The operational speed range is 30-800 mm/s.
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop that can shorten the nominal 135 mm stroke by up to 50 mm, creating an 85-135 mm usable travel window. It trims the end position but does not lock or hold the load without continuous air pressure.
