The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX250-100 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 250mm 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 SAIJ40X250-100 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that allows you to dial back the 250 mm nominal stroke by up to 100 mm. This creates a precise 150 to 250 mm usable travel window, enabling exact end-position tuning at commissioning without swapping the barrel or adding external stops. It delivers 879 N of push force and 528 N of pull force at 0.7 MPa.
Built with a SUS304 stainless steel rod and PT tapered ports, this unit is tailored for environments demanding superior corrosion resistance and secure fluid sealing. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for flexible switch placement. The rear adjuster acts strictly as a mechanical stop for deceleration alongside the variable air cushions, so it will not hold a load without live air pressure.

Rapidly adapt the retract end-position across a 150-250 mm window when switching product sizes on a packaging line without changing hardware.
Fine-tune the exact retract distance during commissioning to perfect part ejection or forming depth without adding external stopper blocks.
Leverage the SUS304 stainless steel rod for reliable actuation in washdown or chemical environments where standard carbon steel rods would fail.
Choose this 40 mm bore when an application requires 879 N of thrust at 0.7 MPa but demands a highly flexible end-of-stroke position. The 100 mm adjustment range is ideal for product-size changeovers on a packaging line, replacing the need to bolt on custom external stops. If your process requires less force, the 32 mm bore offers 563 N at 0.7 MPa; if you need more power, the 50 mm bore provides 1374 N.
For load-holding without continuous air pressure, pair this cylinder with an external pilot-operated check valve or select the AirTAC SAIL or BSAI series instead. Because this 250 mm stroke extends beyond 200 mm total travel, ensure you provide an external guide to prevent excessive side loading on the 16 mm rod and M12x1.25 thread. To match this ISO 15552 replacement: specify 40 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, 100 mm adjust, PT ports, SUS304 (B) rod, no magnet, and mounting from the SAIJ subset (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2).
Quick checklist
At a 0.7 MPa operating pressure, this 40 mm bore cylinder generates 879 N of push force and 528 N of pull force. It can achieve up to 1130 N of push force at 0.9 MPa.
The rear adjuster screw lets you mechanically shorten the 250 mm nominal stroke by up to 100 mm, providing an adjustable travel window of 150 to 250 mm. This stopper only sets the travel end and does not lock or hold the load without live air pressure.
