The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX220-40 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 220mm 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 SAIJ40X220-40 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that trims the nominal 220 mm travel back by up to 40 mm, yielding a precise 180-220 mm usable window. This built-in stopper allows you to fine-tune the retract end-position during commissioning without swapping out the cylinder or adding external stops. It delivers 879 N of push force at 0.7 MPa and uses a G1/4 port.
This variant is configured with a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance, and because it lacks a magnet, it does not carry position sensors. The extruded aluminum barrel incorporates sensor grooves on both sides for standard ISO 15552 mounting. The rear adjuster acts purely as a travel stop to set deceleration, not as a lock, so it will not hold a load without live air pressure.

Dial in the exact 180-220 mm retract position during initial commissioning to perfectly align a pressing or clamping jaw without machining custom spacers.
Quickly adjust the end-stop by up to 40 mm on a packaging line when switching to a different carton size, reducing downtime between production runs.
Use the rear adjuster to accommodate multiple part lengths on a single fixture, letting the cylinder operate safely across a slightly shorter travel window.
Selecting this 40 mm bore over a 32 mm version steps the thrust up from 563 N to 879 N at 0.7 MPa, while a 50 mm bore would push 1374 N if your pneumatic system requires more power. An adjustable stroke is chosen over a fixed SAI cylinder when you need variable end-stops for product changeovers or setup tuning. If you need to hold the load mechanically without continuous air pressure, consider the SAIL or BSAI locking cylinders instead.
For a drop-in ISO 15552 replacement match, specify a 40 mm bore, 220 mm stroke, 40 mm adjustment range, PT tapered port thread, SUS304 (B) rod material, no magnet, and a mounting choice from the SAIJ subset: Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2. Since the 220 mm stroke exceeds 300 mm, an external guide is not strictly mandated, but ensuring the 16 mm rod and M12x1.25 thread are not subjected to high side loads will maximize seal life.
Quick checklist
The rear adjuster acts as an external stopper that lets you shorten the effective stroke by up to 40 mm, creating a 180-220 mm usable travel window. It sets the end position and deceleration point but does not lock or hold the load without live air pressure.
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, this 40 mm bore cylinder provides 879 N of push force and 740 N of pull force. It can deliver up to 1130 N push force at its maximum 0.9 MPa pressure.
