The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX170-100S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 170mm 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 SAIJ40X170-100-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, providing a usable travel window of 70 to 170 mm. Delivering 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, it is built with a SUS304 stainless steel rod and includes a magnet for position sensing.
This adjustable-stroke design allows you to fine-tune the retract end position at commissioning without swapping the cylinder or adding external stops. It features PT tapered ports (G1/4) and utilizes an extruded aluminum barrel with sensor grooves on both sides, supporting AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic solid-state switches.

Fine-tune the final end position during commissioning without machining new hard stops or replacing the entire actuator.
Adjust the depth of stroke on the fly for assembly presses that handle parts of varying heights.
Choose this 40 mm bore when you need more thrust than a 32 mm bore (which provides 402 N push at 0.5 MPa) but want a more compact footprint than a 50 mm bore (982 N push). The generous 100 mm adjustment range is ideal for machines requiring variable end-stops during product changeovers. To match this ISO 15552 cylinder for a replacement, verify the 170 mm stroke, 100 mm adjustment, PT port thread, and the -S magnet option.
Because the nominal stroke is 170 mm, the 16 mm rod and M12x1.25 rod thread handle moderate side loads well, though longer unsupported strokes still require an external guide. Remember that the rear adjuster acts as a travel stop, not a lock; the SAIJ does not hold loads without live air, so consider an AirTAC SAIL or BSAI cylinder if load-holding is required.
Quick checklist
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop that lets you trim the effective stroke back by up to 100 mm. This creates a usable travel window of 70 to 170 mm, allowing precise end-position tuning without changing the cylinder.
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, it provides 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 879 N.
