The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX275-20S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 275mm 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 SAIJ40X275-20-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster. It provides a usable travel window of 255 to 275 mm, enabling precise end-position tuning without swapping out the unit. The 40 mm bore generates 879 N of push force at 0.7 MPa, making it well-suited for moderate-duty positioning tasks.
This variant includes a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod for superior corrosion resistance and uses PT tapered port threads. The extruded aluminum barrel integrates dual-sided sensor grooves, and because this unit carries the -S magnet option, it is fully compatible with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic solid-state switches for exact position verification.

Dial in the retract stop from 255 to 275 mm during format changes, allowing quick adaptation to varying product sizes on the same line.
Fine-tune the final resting position at commissioning without physically swapping the cylinder or adding bulky external stopper blocks.
Utilize the 879 N push force and SUS304 rod to push parts into a fixture, adjusting the stroke slightly to compensate for tooling wear.
Select this 40 mm bore adjustable-stroke cylinder when an application demands fine-tuning of the retract end during commissioning or product changeover, avoiding the need to bolt on external stops. If your process requires less force, stepping down to a 32 mm bore yields 563 N at 0.7 MPa, while moving up to a 50 mm bore provides 1374 N for heavier payloads. Keep in mind the rear adjuster functions strictly as a travel stop and does not hold the load without live air; for true pneumatic locking, consider the SAIL or BSAI series.
When matching this cylinder to an ISO 15552 footprint, verify the 275 mm stroke, 20 mm adjustment range, PT port threads, and the -S magnet. The 275 mm stroke length is standard for this bore, but with an unsupported load of this travel distance, an external guide is recommended to prevent rod side-loading. The SAIJ mounting set includes Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 options, deliberately omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR configurations.
Quick checklist
At a 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the 40 mm bore generates 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 acts as an external stopper that lets you shorten the effective stroke by up to 20 mm. This creates a usable travel window between 255 and 275 mm, allowing you to trim the retract position without replacing the cylinder.
