The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX15-10 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 15mm 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 SAIJ40X15-10 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that allows you to fine-tune the end position without swapping out the unit. With a nominal 15 mm stroke and a 10 mm adjustment range, it provides a usable travel window of 5 to 15 mm for exact positioning. It delivers 628N of push force at 0.5 MPa and features a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance.
This model is equipped with PT tapered port threads and lacks a standard piston magnet, meaning it does not utilize CMSE or DMSE sensors. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for flexible mounting, and the cylinder supports a speed range of 30-800 mm/s. It uses the standard SAIJ mounting set, including Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, deliberately omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR options.

Dial in the exact clamping position on small machined parts by adjusting the rear stopper from 5 to 15 mm, ensuring no crush damage during setup.
Quickly adapt a packaging line to different product sizes by turning the rear adjuster screw rather than physically swapping out the entire cylinder.
Set the precise extension distance for a testing probe, using the fine-tune adjustment to establish a repeatable 10 mm end-point.
Choose this 40 mm bore when you need more force than the 32 mm version provides (402N push at 0.5 MPa) but want a more compact footprint than the 50 mm bore (982N push at 0.5 MPa). The adjustable stroke is perfect for applications requiring variable end-stops or machine changeovers, allowing precise tuning at commissioning without the need for fixed external stops. For applications requiring the cylinder to hold a load without live air pressure, note that this standard SAIJ adjuster acts only as a travel stop and not a lock; consider the SAIL or BSAI series for true load-holding requirements.
When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 40 mm bore, 15 mm nominal stroke, 10 mm adjustment range, PT port threads, and the required mounting interface. Because the stroke is under 300 mm, side-load concerns are minimal, but ensure the SUS304 rod material is specified for environments requiring high corrosion resistance.
Quick checklist
At an operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, this 40 mm bore cylinder generates 628N of push force and 528N of pull force. At the maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa, it can generate up to 128 kgf.
The rear adjuster screw acts as an external stopper that lets you mechanically shorten the 15 mm nominal stroke. You can tune the effective travel window down to 5 mm without changing the cylinder or adding external stops, though it only stops the load and does not lock it without live air.
