The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX280-30 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 280mm 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 SAIJ40X280-30 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster that allows you to fine-tune the effective travel window down to 250-280mm during commissioning. It delivers a robust 879N push force at 0.7MPa, making it well-suited for precise positioning tasks. The piston rod is constructed from SUS304 stainless steel, providing excellent corrosion resistance for harsh environments.
Equipped with a PT tapered port thread and a 16mm diameter rod, this unit uses an M12x1.25 rod thread. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for direct mounting of CMSE reed or DMSE electronic switches. The rear stopper mechanism sets the end position but does not lock the load without live air pressure; for drop-prevention, consider the SAIL or BSAI series.

Dial in the exact 250-280mm travel distance during machine setup to accommodate varying product sizes without changing hardware.
Leverage the SUS304 stainless steel rod for precise actuation in washdown or chemically exposed manufacturing environments.
Quickly reposition the rear stopper for new batch dimensions on a conveyor line, minimizing downtime between production runs.
Choose this 40mm bore when your application requires more force than the 32mm version (which provides 563N push at 0.7MPa) but does not need the 1374N push of the 50mm class. The 30mm adjustment range is ideal for product changeovers on a line, allowing you to shift the end-stop without physically swapping the cylinder or adding external stops. It supports a standard speed range of 30-800mm/s.
For ISO 15552 replacement, match the 40mm bore, 280mm stroke, PT port thread, and SUS304 (B) rod material. Mounting options include Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. Because the 280mm stroke is substantial, an external guide rail is recommended to prevent side-loading damage to the rod.
Quick checklist
At 0.7MPa operating pressure, this 40mm bore cylinder provides 879N of push force and 528N of pull force. It can deliver up to 1130N push at 0.9MPa.
The rear adjuster screw mechanically limits the return stroke, creating a usable travel window between 250mm and 280mm. This stopper only sets the end position and does not hold the load without live air.
