The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX145-50S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 145mm 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 SAIJ40X145-50-S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It delivers 628N of push force at 0.5 MPa and features a 145mm nominal stroke that can be dialed back by up to 50mm, yielding a usable travel window of 95-145mm. This allows precise end-position tuning at commissioning without swapping the cylinder or adding external stops.
Built with a SUS304 stainless steel rod, this version is ideal for environments where corrosion resistance is required. The integrated magnet (-S) supports position sensing via AirTAC CMSE reed or DMSE electronic solid-state switches mounted in the dual-side sensor grooves. The rear adjuster acts strictly as a travel stop and does not hold the load without live air pressure.

Quickly dial the stroke from 145mm down to 95mm via the rear screw when adapting the line to different package sizes, avoiding mechanical teardown.
Fine-tune the exact retract position during machine commissioning to perfect part seating without fabricating custom spacer shims.
Leverage the SUS304 stainless steel rod for light-duty push operations in washdown or chemical-adjacent areas requiring reliable sensor feedback.
Choose this 40mm bore when an application requires moderate thrust and on-the-fly stroke trimming. If you need less force, stepping down to a 32mm bore yields 402N push force at 0.5MPa; stepping up to a 50mm bore provides 982N. The adjustable 95-145mm window is perfect for product changeovers on a line, whereas a fixed SAI cylinder is better for rigid, unchanging end stops.
For a direct ISO 15552 replacement, match the 40mm bore, 145mm stroke, 50mm adjustment, PT tapered port thread, and -S magnet. Mounting options are limited to Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. Because the nominal stroke is under 300mm, side-load risks are manageable, but always guide the load externally for optimal longevity. Remember that the rear adjuster is a stop, not a lock; for load-holding without live air, consider SAIL or BSAI cylinders.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 40mm bore cylinder provides 628N of push force and 528N of pull force. At its maximum 1.0 MPa pressure, it can deliver up to 128 kgf.
The rear adjuster screw lets you shorten the effective stroke by up to 50mm, creating a usable travel window of 95-145mm. It functions as a mechanical stop to fine-tune the end position and does not lock the load without continuous air pressure.
