The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX250-40 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 SAIJ40X250-40 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster. It provides a 250 mm nominal stroke that can be dialed back by up to 40 mm, yielding a usable travel window of 210 to 250 mm. Delivering 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it is built with a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance and operates at speeds between 30 and 800 mm/s.
This model uses PT tapered ports sized G1/4 and includes variable air cushions at both ends to manage deceleration. The rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop to fine-tune the end position during commissioning; it does not lock or hold the load without continuous live air pressure. For load-holding requirements, an external pilot-operated check valve or an AirTAC SAIL lock cylinder is required.

Select this 40 mm bore cylinder when an application demands precise end-position tuning without swapping out physical components. It provides 628 N push and 528 N pull at 0.5 MPa; if your setup requires less force, step down to the 32 mm bore (402 N push), or move up to the 50 mm bore (982 N push) for heavier loads. The adjustable 210 to 250 mm window is ideal for product changeovers on a line. To match this exact specification for an ISO 15552 replacement, ensure you specify the 40 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, 40 mm adjustment, PT ports, SUS304 rod material, and standard mounting.
Because the 250 mm stroke is substantial for this bore size, the 16 mm diameter rod will experience amplified leverage forces if the load is unsupported. An external guide mechanism is highly recommended to prevent excessive side-loading and premature seal wear. The available mounting set includes Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 options.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, 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.
The rear mechanical adjuster allows you to shorten the 250 mm nominal stroke by up to 40 mm, creating a usable travel window of 210 to 250 mm. This adjuster functions as a travel stop and does not lock the load without live air pressure.
