The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX250-20S 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 SAIJ40X250-20-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that allows you to fine-tune the end position without swapping out the unit. With a nominal stroke of 250 mm and a 20 mm adjustment range, it provides a usable travel window of 230-250 mm. It delivers 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, fitting a mid-range force class.
This variant uses a SUS304 stainless steel rod for corrosion resistance and includes a magnet for CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors. It features a PT tapered port (G1/8) and omits the FB, CA, CB, and CR mounts, supporting a reduced set of Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 mounting options. The rear adjuster acts purely as a travel stop and does not hold the load without live air pressure.

Dial in the 230-250 mm travel window during product size changes without replacing the cylinder or adding external shims.
Fine-tune the retract stopper at commissioning to perfect the stroke end position for precise assembly tasks.
Adjust the travel end on the fly for packaging lines handling varying package lengths within the 20 mm range.
Choose this 40 mm bore when you need more force than the 32 mm version (402 N push at 0.5 MPa) but want to step down from the 63 mm class (1559 N). The adjustable stroke is ideal for machine setup and product changeovers, letting you dial in the exact end-stop during commissioning instead of installing fixed external stops. Because the stroke is 250 mm, an external guide is recommended to manage side loads on the unsupported rod.
For load-holding without live pressure, this cylinder is not a lock; the rear screw is only a stop. You would need an external rod lock or a related type like SAIL or BSAI. To match this ISO 15552 replacement, specify bore 40, stroke 250, 20 mm adjustment, PT port, the reduced SAIJ mounting set, and the -S magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, this 40 mm bore cylinder provides 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force. At the maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa, it delivers 128 kgf.
The rear adjuster screw lets you shorten the effective travel from the nominal 250 mm down to 230 mm. It acts as a mechanical stop to fine-tune the end position, but it does not lock the load without continuous air pressure.
