The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX180-100 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 180mm 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 SAIJ40X180-100 is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It delivers 628N of push force at 0.5 MPa and features a wide usable travel window of 80 to 180mm, letting you dial back the nominal 180mm stroke by up to 100mm during commissioning. This adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop for end-position tuning and does not hold the load without live air pressure.
Built with a SUS304 stainless steel rod (option B) for superior corrosion resistance, this 40mm bore cylinder utilizes PT tapered ports and operates at speeds between 30 and 800mm/s. It supports a specific mounting subset including Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR brackets entirely.

Quickly reconfigure the retract end-stop for different product sizes on a packaging line without replacing the cylinder or adding shims.
Fine-tune the 80-180mm travel window during initial setup to perfectly time machine sequencing and avoid mechanical hard crashes.
Adjust the rear stop screw on the fly to accommodate varying material thicknesses or tooling lengths in automated assembly.
Select this 40mm bore cylinder when an application requires precise retract-end tuning without swapping physical components; its 100mm adjustment window is significantly larger than smaller codes, accommodating major product changeovers. If your setup needs less force, stepping down to a 32mm bore yields 402N at 0.5MPa, while stepping up to a 50mm bore provides 982N for heavier loads. For load-holding without continuous air pressure, this standard adjuster stop is insufficient, and you should evaluate an AirTAC SAIL or BSAI locking cylinder instead.
When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 40mm bore, 180mm nominal stroke, 100mm adjustment range, PT port thread, and the chosen mounting bracket. Because this unit lacks a magnet, it cannot host CMSE or DMSE sensors; if position feedback is required, specify an -S variant. Furthermore, the 16mm rod and M12x1.25 thread provide robust side-load capacity, but any stroke approaching 300mm or beyond still necessitates an external guide rail to prevent premature seal wear.
Quick checklist
At a standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 40mm bore cylinder generates 628N of push force and 528N of pull force. If pressure is increased to 0.7 MPa, the push force rises to 879N.
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop, allowing you to shorten the effective stroke from its 180mm nominal length down to as little as 80mm. It only sets the travel end and deceleration point; it does not lock the load without live air pressure.
