The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX165-50 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 SAIJ40X165-50 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that creates a 115-165mm usable travel window. It delivers 628N of pull force at 0.5 MPa and operates at speeds of 30-800mm/s. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for flexible mounting.
This variant uses a SUS304 stainless steel rod for corrosion resistance and PT tapered port threads. The rear stopper screw allows fine end-position tuning during commissioning without swapping the cylinder or adding external stops. The adjuster acts as a travel stop and deceleration point, not a lock, so it cannot hold loads without live air pressure.

Dial in the retract position within the 115-165mm window for product-size changeovers without machining new hard stops.
Fine-tune the end-of-stroke position during commissioning to align tooling perfectly using the rear adjustment screw.
Adjust the reject stroke on the fly to handle varying package lengths on a single pneumatic diverter line.
Choose this 40mm bore when you need precise retract positioning that a fixed SAI cannot provide. If your application requires less force, step down to a 32mm bore offering 345N pull at 0.5MPa. For heavier loads, step up to a 50mm bore providing 825N pull. Since the stroke is 165mm, side loads are moderate, but always guide long unsupported rods to prevent barrel wear.
For ISO 15552 replacement matching, verify the 40mm bore, 165mm stroke, 50mm adjustment range, PT port thread, and standard mounting set (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2). Note that SAIJ omits FB, CA, CB, and CR mounts. If you need true load holding without live air, consider the SAIL air-released lock or BSAI clamp-lock instead of relying on the adjuster.
Quick checklist
The rear adjuster screw lets you shorten the nominal 165mm stroke by up to 50mm, creating a usable travel window of 115-165mm. It acts as a mechanical stop to set the exact retract position without adding external stops.
At 0.5MPa operating pressure, this 40mm bore cylinder provides 628N of pull force and 879N of push force. The maximum operating pressure is 1.0MPa.
