The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX165-50S 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-S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster. It delivers a robust 879N push force at 0.7MPa and utilizes a PT tapered G1/4 port. The built-in adjuster allows you to dial back the 165mm nominal stroke by up to 50mm, creating a precise 115-165mm usable travel window for fine-tuning end positions during commissioning without swapping hardware.
This configuration includes a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance and an integrated magnet (-S) for position sensing. It is compatible with AirTAC CMSE reed switches and DMSE solid-state sensors fitted into the dual-side sensor grooves. The adjustable stopper solely manages end-of-travel deceleration alongside the standard air cushions, meaning it will not hold a load without continuous air pressure.

Dial in the 115-165mm travel window during product size transitions on a packaging line without replacing the cylinder or adding external stops.
Fine-tune the retract end position at commissioning to absorb mechanical tolerances, using the rear screw to set the exact 165mm or shorter stroke.
Adjust the stroke dynamically for assembly processes that require differing insertion depths or actuation distances within the 50mm range.
Select this 40mm bore unit when an application requires variable end-stops or frequent product changeovers, stepping up from a 32mm bore (563N push at 0.5MPa) if greater thrust is needed. The SUS304 rod and M12x1.25 thread provide excellent side-load resilience, though any stroke exceeding 300mm would still require an external guide. For load-holding without live air pressure, this cylinder is insufficient; consider the SAIL or BSAI series instead. To match this ISO 15552 replacement exactly, specify the 40mm bore, 165mm stroke, 50mm adjustment, PT port, Basic/FA/LB/TC/FTC/TCM1/TCM2 mountings, and the -S magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.7MPa operating pressure, this 40mm bore cylinder generates 879N of push force and 528N of pull force. It can reach a maximum push force of 1130N at 0.9MPa.
The rear adjuster acts as an external stopper that lets you shorten the 165mm nominal stroke by up to 50mm, providing a usable travel window of 115-165mm. It sets the end position but does not lock or hold the load without continuous air pressure.
