The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX185-75S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 185mm 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 SAIJ40X185-75-S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It features a 185 mm nominal stroke that can be dialed back by up to 75 mm, yielding a usable travel window of 110-185 mm. This allows precise end-position tuning at commissioning without swapping the cylinder or 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.
This variant includes a SUS304 stainless steel rod (code B) for superior corrosion resistance and uses PT tapered port threads with a G1/4 connection. The extruded aluminum barrel integrates sensor grooves on both sides, and because this SKU includes a magnet (-S), it supports AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic solid-state switches. The rear adjuster acts strictly as a travel stop and does not hold the load without live air pressure.

Dial in the 110-185 mm travel window during format changes, allowing rapid product size adjustments on packaging lines without replacing the actuator.
Use the rear adjusting screw to fine-tune the retract position at commissioning, perfect for dialing in exact sensor triggers and seating depths.
Leverage the SUS304 stainless steel rod for precise clamping or pushing tasks in light manufacturing where moisture or minor corrosive elements are present.
Choose this 40 mm bore cylinder when an application requires fine-tuning the retract end-position across a 110-185 mm window during product changeovers. If your setup needs less force, stepping down to a 32 mm bore yields 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa; stepping up to a 50 mm bore provides 982 N. An adjustable stroke is preferred over a fixed SAI cylinder when machine setups demand variable end-stops without mechanical rework.
Because the nominal stroke is 185 mm, side-load risks are moderate, but always ensure external guiding for the load. Remember that neither the rear adjuster nor the adjustable air cushions function as a lock; for load-holding without live air, select an AirTAC SAIL or BSAI cylinder. To match this ISO 15552 dimensionally interchangeable cylinder, specify: 40 mm bore, 185 mm stroke, 75 mm adjustment, PT ports, Basic/FA/LB/TC/FTC/TCM1/TCM2 mountings, and a -S magnet.
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 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 879 N.
The rear adjuster allows you to shorten the 185 mm nominal stroke by up to 75 mm, creating an effective travel window of 110-185 mm. The adjuster acts as a mechanical stop and does not lock the load without continuous air pressure.
