The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX250-30 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 SAIJ40X250-30 is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster. It provides a 220-250 mm usable travel window, allowing you to dial back the 250 mm nominal stroke by up to 30 mm during commissioning. Delivering 628 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, it bridges the gap between compact 32 mm bores and heavier 50 mm units.
This variant uses a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod for corrosion resistance and features PT tapered port threads. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for standard switches. The rear adjuster acts solely as a mechanical stop to fine-tune the end position, meaning it will not hold a load without continuous live air pressure.

Dial in the exact 220 to 250 mm end-stop during product size transitions without replacing the cylinder or adding external shims.
Fine-tune the retract stroke on an assembly fixture to account for material thickness variations, using the 628 N pull force to move parts.
Adjust the travel window on a sorting diverter arm by up to 30 mm during line setup, relying on the SUS304 rod for washdown durability.
Choose this 40 mm bore when you need precise end-position tuning without swapping cylinders or adding external stops on a machine changeover. If your application requires less force, stepping down to a 32 mm bore yields 345 N of pull at 0.5 MPa; stepping up to a 50 mm bore provides 825 N. For load-holding without live pressure, this cylinder is not a lock—consider an external rod lock or the related SAIL or BSAI series.
To match this ISO 15552 interchangeable cylinder, specify a 40 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, 30 mm adjustment range, PT ports, and the SUS304 (B) rod material. It supports the SAIJ mounting subset: Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. Because the 250 mm stroke is within standard limits but approaches a length where leverage increases, ensure external guides support any lateral loads.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, this 40 mm bore cylinder 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 screw stopper lets you mechanically shorten the 250 mm nominal stroke by up to 30 mm, creating a 220-250 mm travel window. It acts as a travel stop and does not lock the load without live air.
