The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX270-30S 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 SAIJ40X270-30-S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster. It provides a 240-270 mm usable travel window, allowing you to dial back the 270 mm nominal stroke by up to 30 mm during commissioning. Delivering 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it bridges the gap between smaller 32 mm bores and mid-sized 50 mm units.
This specific SKU is built with a SUS304 stainless steel rod (code B) for superior corrosion resistance and includes a magnet (-S) for position sensing. It is compatible with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE solid-state sensors. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, and the fluid port utilizes a PT tapered thread.

Quickly fine-tune the retract end position by up to 30 mm when switching between product sizes on a packaging line, avoiding mechanical rebuilds.
Dial in the exact 240-270 mm travel window during commissioning to perfect part ejection or clamping without physically machining new stopper blocks.
Leverage the SUS304 stainless steel rod for reliable actuation in washdown or mildly corrosive manufacturing environments requiring precise stops.
Choose this 40 mm bore when your application requires more thrust than a 32 mm cylinder (402 N at 0.5 MPa) but you want a more compact footprint than a 50 mm option (982 N). The 30 mm rear adjuster is perfect for product changeovers, letting you set variable end stops without adding external physical stops or swapping the cylinder. For strokes of 270 mm, the 16 mm rod diameter handles moderate side loads, but an external guide is recommended for heavy unsupported loads.
This adjustable model differs from a fixed-stroke SAI by allowing fine end-position tuning. Remember that the rear adjuster acts only as a travel stop, not a lock; the plain SAIJ does not hold loads without live air. For load-holding without pressure, consider an SAIL air-released lock, a BSAI clamp-lock, or an external rod lock. This cylinder is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 and uses a reduced mounting set: Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.
Quick checklist
At a 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 40 mm bore cylinder provides 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force. At the maximum 1.0 MPa pressure, it delivers up to 1130 N of push force.
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop that lets you shorten the effective travel from the 270 mm nominal stroke down to 240 mm. It only sets the end position and does not lock or hold the load without live air pressure.
