The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX165-100S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 165mm 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 SAIJ40X165-100-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that allows you to trim the effective travel back by up to 100 mm. This creates a usable stroke window of 65-165 mm, giving you exact control over the retract end position without adding external stops. In the 40 mm bore class, it delivers 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa.
Built with a SUS304 stainless steel rod, this version is equipped with a magnet for position sensing and uses PT tapered ports. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for direct mounting of AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic switches. The 16 mm rod and M12x1.25 thread provide solid resistance to side loading, though long unsupported travels still require an external guide.

Dial in the exact 65 to 165 mm retract position during initial commissioning without swapping out the cylinder or adding external mechanical stops.
Quickly adjust the end-stop distance on packaging lines when handling different product sizes, using the 100 mm adjustment range to adapt the travel window.
Leverage the integrated magnet with DMSE electronic sensors to confirm end-of-stroke arrival while fine-tuning the stroke limit for automated clamping tasks.
Choose this 40 mm bore adjustable-stroke cylinder when your application requires a 628 N force class but needs on-the-fly end-position tuning during commissioning or product changeover. If you need higher thrust, stepping up to the 50 mm bore yields 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The rear adjuster acts purely as a travel stop for deceleration and does not hold the load without live air; for true fail-safe load holding, consider the SAIL or BSAI series.
To match this ISO 15552 cylinder exactly for a replacement, specify the 40 mm bore, 165 mm stroke, 100 mm adjustment range, PT port thread, and the -S magnet option. It supports the standard SAIJ mounting set (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2) but omits FB, CA, CB, and CR brackets.
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. At the maximum 1.0 MPa pressure, it can deliver up to 128 kgf of thrust.
The rear adjuster screw acts as an external stopper that can shorten the nominal 165 mm stroke by up to 100 mm, creating a usable travel window of 65 to 165 mm. It sets the end position but does not lock the load without live air pressure.
