About the Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX20-20
The AirTAC SAIJ40X20-20 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that allows you to fine-tune the travel end by up to 20 mm. Because the nominal stroke is only 20 mm, this configuration yields a highly versatile 0-20 mm usable travel window, letting you set the exact retraction point during commissioning without swapping hardware.
This model features a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance and operates at speeds between 30 and 800 mm/s. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, allowing you to mount CMSE reed or DMSE electronic sensors if position feedback is required later. It supports a reduced mounting set of Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø40mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 528 N | 528 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 739 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 108 kgf | |
Double-rod model: the rod passes through the rear cover, so both piston faces lose rod area and push is shown at the annular-area value. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

Where the Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX20-20 Is Used
Precision End-Stop Tuning
Dial in the exact retraction point within a 0-20 mm window during machine commissioning to achieve perfect positioning without machining new hard stops.
Product Changeover
Quickly adjust the cylinder's effective stroke on the line when switching between product sizes, minimizing downtime and avoiding cylinder swaps.
Corrosive Assembly Tasks
Leverage the SUS304 stainless steel rod for light clamping and positioning tasks in environments where moisture or mild chemicals are present.
Is the Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX20-20 the Right Cylinder?
The adjustable stroke is perfect for applications requiring variable end-stops or frequent product changeovers, eliminating the need to bolt on external stops. For fixed travel needs without commissioning tweaks, the standard SAI cylinder is a simpler alternative.
When integrating this cylinder, remember the rear adjuster acts strictly as a travel stop, not a lock; it cannot hold a load without live air pressure. If your application requires true load-holding, consider the SAIL or BSAI series. This SAIJ40X20-20 is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 and uses a G1/4 port. Because the stroke is under 300 mm, side-load stress on the 16 mm rod is minimal, though external guides are still recommended for heavy lateral loads.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — consider a guided cylinder
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (FA/FB/CA/CB/LB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX20-20 FAQ
The rear adjuster screw allows you to trim the effective travel back by up to 20 mm. Since the nominal stroke is 20 mm, you can set the usable travel anywhere within a 0-20 mm window to fine-tune the end position without adding external stops.
