The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX270-40S 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 SAIJ40X270-40-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster. It provides a 230-270 mm usable travel window, allowing you to dial back the 270 mm nominal stroke by up to 40 mm during commissioning. Delivering 879 N of push force at 0.7 MPa, it handles mid-range actuation with precision.
This SKU includes a SUS304 stainless steel rod for corrosion resistance and a magnetic piston for position sensing. It accepts CMSE reed and DMSE electronic switches in the dual-side sensor grooves. The PT G1/4 port and M12x1.25 rod thread are set for the 40 mm bore, while the rear stopper acts purely as a travel end-limit, not a load lock.

Dial in the 230-270 mm travel window during product size changes on a packaging line without replacing the entire cylinder.
Fine-tune the retract end-position at commissioning to hit exact mechanical stops, eliminating the need for external spacers.
Adjust the stroke length on the fly to accommodate different package sizes arriving at a sorting station.
Choose this 40 mm bore when you need 879 N of push force at 0.7 MPa, stepping up from a 32 mm bore that yields 563 N. The adjustable stroke is ideal for product changeovers where the exact end-of-stroke position varies, saving you from swapping out a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder or adding external stops. To replace an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 40 mm bore, 270 mm stroke, PT G1/4 port, and -S magnet.
Because the 270 mm stroke is moderately long, ensure your mounting configuration supports the rod against side loads. The SAIJ mounting set includes Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. Remember that the rear adjuster and air cushions only decelerate the load; for true position holding without live air, use a SAIL or BSAI lock.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa, 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 lets you shorten the 270 mm nominal stroke by up to 40 mm, creating a 230-270 mm usable travel window. The adjuster acts as a physical stop and does not lock the load without live air pressure.
