The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX225-40S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 225mm 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 SAIJ40X225-40-S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It provides a usable travel window of 185 to 225 mm, allowing you to dial in the exact retract end-position during commissioning without swapping hardware. At 0.5 MPa, it delivers 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force, operating smoothly at speeds between 30 and 800 mm/s.
This variant features a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance and uses PT tapered port threads with a G1/4 connection. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, and because this unit includes a magnet (-S), it supports AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic solid-state switches for precise position feedback. Mounting options include Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.

Dial in the 185-225 mm travel window during format size changes on a packaging line without physically replacing the cylinder or adding external stopper blocks.
Perfectly set the retract end-position during machine setup to avoid mechanical crashes, using the rear screw to absorb minor positional deviations.
Leverage the SUS304 stainless steel rod for light assembly duties in environments requiring high corrosion resistance and repeatable adjustable end-stops.
Choose this 40 mm bore when an application requires moderate force, or step up to the 50 mm bore (982 N push at 0.5 MPa) for heavier loads. The adjustable stroke is ideal for product changeovers on a line, letting you shift the end-stop by up to 40 mm on the fly instead of installing a fixed SAI cylinder. For exact ISO 15552 replacement matching, verify the 225 mm stroke, 40 mm adjustment, PT port, and the required -S magnet.
Because the nominal stroke is 225 mm, ensure adequate guidance to prevent rod side-loading. Remember that the rear adjuster acts only as a travel stop, not a lock; the SAIJ40X225-40-S cannot hold a load without live air. For dead-end load holding, consider an external pilot-operated check valve or the AirTAC SAIL lock cylinder series.
Quick checklist
The rear adjuster screw lets you shorten the effective stroke by up to 40 mm. This creates a usable travel window of 185 to 225 mm, allowing you to fine-tune the retract end-position at commissioning without changing the cylinder.
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the SAIJ40X225-40-S generates 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 879 N.
