The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX160-50 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 160mm 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 SAIJ40X160-50 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster. It provides a nominal 160 mm stroke that can be fine-tuned down by up to 50 mm, yielding a usable travel window of 110 to 160 mm. Delivering 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it fits perfectly into medium-duty setups requiring exact end-position tuning.
This variant utilizes a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod for enhanced corrosion resistance and includes PT tapered port threads (G1/4). The extruded aluminum barrel incorporates sensor grooves on both sides for flexible switch mounting. You can easily integrate AirTAC CMSE reed or DMSE electronic sensors to track position along the entire adjusted travel range.

Dial in the 110 to 160 mm travel window during format changes on packaging lines, avoiding the need to physically swap out cylinders for different product sizes.
Fine-tune the retract distance at machine commissioning to achieve exact material feeding, relying on the 50 mm rear adjustment screw rather than external stopper blocks.
Leverage the SUS304 stainless steel rod in light manufacturing environments where moisture is present, ensuring reliable actuation and durable performance.
Select this 40 mm bore when an application requires variable end-stops without swapping hardware, offering a 110-160 mm adjustable window. If your process demands less force, stepping down to a 32 mm bore yields 402 N at 0.5 MPa; if you need more clamping power, a 50 mm bore provides 982 N. The rear adjuster screw acts purely as a mechanical stop to set the retraction point and does not lock the load. For load-holding without live air pressure, consider an AirTAC SAIL or BSAI cylinder. To ensure a true ISO 15552 replacement match, verify the 160 mm stroke, 50 mm adjustment, PT G1/4 port, and your required mounting bracket from the SAIJ set (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2).
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. If operated at 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 879 N.
The rear adjuster screw lets you shorten the effective stroke from its 160 mm nominal length down to 110 mm. It functions as a mechanical stop for end-position tuning and does not hold the load without continuous air pressure.
