The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX210-50 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 210mm 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 SAIJ40X210-50 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that allows you to trim the effective travel back by up to 50 mm. This yields a usable positioning window of 160 to 210 mm, letting you dial in the exact retract end-stop during commissioning without swapping out the barrel or adding external stops. Built with a SUS304 stainless steel rod and tapered PT ports, it provides a push force of 879 N at 0.7 MPa.
Because the rear adjuster functions strictly as a mechanical stop and not a lock, the cylinder cannot hold a load without live air pressure. For load-holding requirements, consider the SAIL or BSAI series instead. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, ready to accept CMSE reed or DMSE electronic sensors if you add a magnet later. The SAIJ mounting set includes Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 options.

Quickly shift the retract end-stop by up to 50 mm to accommodate varying package sizes on a packaging line without replacing the cylinder.
Fine-tune the 160 to 210 mm travel window during machine setup to perfectly strike a part without relying on external spacers.
Set the exact push-off distance for items moving down a belt, allowing on-the-fly adjustments for different product widths.
Choose this 40 mm bore when you need 879 N of push force at 0.7 MPa, which is a notable step up from the 32 mm bore's 563 N, yet more compact than the 50 mm bore's 1374 N. The 50 mm adjustment range is ideal for machines handling frequent product size changeovers, allowing operators to reposition the retract end-stop on the fly rather than machining new hard stops. When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 40 mm bore, 210 mm stroke, PT port threads, and the chosen mounting hardware.
With a 210 mm stroke, the M12x1.25 rod is long enough that side-loading becomes a concern. Ensure proper alignment and use an external guide rail to prevent premature seal wear. If your application requires the piston to hold position without continuous air pressure, note that the SAIJ adjuster only sets the travel end and you must look to a SAIL pneumatic lock or external rod lock for fail-safe holding.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, this 40 mm bore cylinder generates 879 N of push force and 528 N of pull force. It can reach a maximum push force of 1130 N at 0.9 MPa.
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop, allowing you to shorten the 210 mm nominal stroke by up to 50 mm. This creates a usable travel window of 160 to 210 mm, which is set mechanically at commissioning rather than via pneumatic pressure.
