The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX270-10S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 270mm 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 SAIJ40X270-10-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that allows you to trim the nominal 270 mm stroke back by up to 10 mm. This creates a precise 260-270 mm usable travel window, enabling fine end-position tuning at commissioning without swapping the barrel or adding external stops. It delivers 879 N of push force at 0.7 MPa and uses a G1/4 port.
This variant is equipped with a SUS304 stainless steel rod (option B) for superior corrosion resistance and includes a magnet for position sensing. The extruded aluminum barrel integrates sensor grooves on both sides, supporting AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic solid-state switches. Because the rear adjuster acts purely as a travel stop, it does not hold the load without live air; for dead-end holding, consider SAIL or BSAI series.

Dial in the exact 260-270 mm retract distance during machine commissioning to accommodate different material thicknesses without disassembling the line.
Quickly adjust the stroke stop when switching product formats on a conveyor, using the rear screw to set new end positions rapidly.
Leverage the SUS304 stainless steel rod in washdown or corrosive manufacturing settings while maintaining precise stroke limits.
Choose this 40 mm bore when 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa is sufficient, or step up to the 50 mm bore (982 N at 0.5 MPa) if your payload increases. An adjustable stroke is ideal for machine setups requiring variable end-stops during product changeovers, whereas a fixed SAI cylinder locks you into one exact dimension.
This SAIJ40X270-10-S includes a -S magnet for CMSE/DMSE sensors and uses PT tapered port threads. It supports a reduced mounting set (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2) omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR. Since the 270 mm stroke is 270 mm or greater, ensure you use an external guide to prevent excessive side-loading on the 16 mm rod and M12x1.25 thread.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, this 40 mm bore cylinder provides 879 N of push force and 528 N of pull force. It can deliver up to 1130 N of push force at 0.9 MPa.
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop that lets you shorten the 270 mm nominal stroke by up to 10 mm, providing a usable travel window of 260-270 mm. It only sets the end position and does not lock the load without live air pressure.
