The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX230-20S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 230mm 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 SAIJ40X230-20-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that allows you to fine-tune the retract end position. It provides a usable travel window of 210 to 230 mm, letting you dial back the nominal stroke by up to 20 mm during commissioning. Built with a SUS304 stainless steel rod, it handles corrosive environments better than standard carbon steel. Delivering 879 N of push force at 0.7 MPa, it fits mid-range automation tasks perfectly.
This model includes a built-in magnet for position sensing, working seamlessly with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE solid-state sensors. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for flexible switch mounting. It uses a PT G1/4 port and relies on variable air cushions at both ends to decelerate the load smoothly. The rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop to set the travel limit, so it does not hold the load without live air pressure.

Dial in the exact retract distance from 210 to 230 mm during product size changeovers without adding external mechanical stops.
Leverage the SUS304 stainless steel rod for pressing or lifting tasks in washdown or chemically exposed manufacturing cells.
Pair the built-in magnet with DMSE solid-state sensors to confirm the adjusted end-of-stroke position for automated sequencing.
Choose this 40 mm bore when your application requires the 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa, but you need leeway to trim the travel distance for product changeovers. If you need higher force, stepping up to the 50 mm bore yields 982 N at 0.5 MPa. The adjustable stroke is ideal for machine setups where external stops are impractical, allowing you to set precise end positions without swapping cylinders. For load-holding without live air, this cylinder is not suitable; consider the SAIL or BSAI series instead.
As a dimensionally interchangeable ISO 15552 cylinder, it matches standard SAI footprint dimensions and uses a reduced mounting set including Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. When replacing, verify the 230 mm stroke, 20 mm adjustment, PT G1/4 port, and the -S magnet option. With a 230 mm stroke, ensure adequate guidance for the rod to prevent excessive side-loading.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it provides 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 879 N.
A rear adjusting screw acts as a mechanical stop, allowing you to shorten the effective stroke by up to 20 mm. This creates a usable travel window of 210 to 230 mm for fine-tuning end positions without replacing the cylinder.
