The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX240-30S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 240mm 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 SAIJ40X240-30-S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It provides a nominal 240 mm stroke that can be fine-tuned backward by up to 30 mm, creating a precise 210-240 mm usable travel window for exact end-position calibration. Delivering 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this 40 mm bore unit handles moderate actuation tasks with ease.
This configuration features a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance and includes a built-in magnet for position sensing. You can mount CMSE reed or DMSE electronic switches directly into the extruded aluminum barrel's dual sensor grooves. The rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop to set the retraction end, meaning it decelerates travel but does not lock or hold the load without continuous live air pressure.

Dial in the 210-240 mm travel window during product size transitions to set new retraction endpoints without changing the cylinder.
Fine-tune the final retract position at commissioning using the rear stopper to perfect tooling alignment.
Adjust the stroke on the fly for sorting or diverting tasks on a line that handles multiple package sizes.
Choose this adjustable-stroke model when your machine setup requires variable end-stops or product changeover flexibility without physically swapping out cylinders. If your application demands less force, stepping down to a 32 mm bore yields 402 N at 0.5 MPa; conversely, a 50 mm bore provides 982 N for heavier loads. Because the total stroke is 240 mm, ensure external guiding is utilized if the load is unsupported to prevent excessive side-loading on the rod.
To match this exact ISO 15552 interchangeable footprint for a direct replacement, specify a 40 mm bore, 240 mm stroke, 30 mm adjustment range, PT tapered port threads, and the -S magnet option. Remember that for load-holding requirements without constant air pressure, you must look toward a SAIL pneumatic lock cylinder, a BSAI clamp-lock model, or an external rod lock, as the SAIJ adjuster is strictly a travel stop. The compatible mounting set includes Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.
Quick checklist
At a standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 40 mm bore cylinder generates 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force. It can reach up to 1130 N of push force at 0.7 MPa.
The rear adjusting screw acts as a mechanical stop that lets you trim the effective stroke back by up to 30 mm from the 240 mm nominal length, providing a 210-240 mm travel window. It sets the end position but does not hold the load without live air pressure.
