About the Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX280-40S
The AirTAC SAIJ40X280-40-S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster. It provides a nominal 280 mm stroke that can be dialed back by up to 40 mm, creating a precise 240-280 mm usable travel window for exact end-position tuning.
This adjustable-stroke model uses a PT tapered port thread and operates at speeds of 30-800 mm/s. The rear adjuster acts strictly as a travel stop for commissioning and product changeovers, meaning it does not hold the load without live air pressure. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, and the cylinder supports a reduced mounting set of Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR options.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø40mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 528 N | 528 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 739 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 108 kgf | |
Double-rod model: the rod passes through the rear cover, so both piston faces lose rod area and push is shown at the annular-area value. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

Where the Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX280-40S Is Used
Variable End-Stop Tuning
Dial in the exact 240-280 mm travel distance during machine commissioning to accommodate varying product lengths without adding external mechanical stops.
Product Changeover
Rapidly adjust the retract position by up to 40 mm when switching a production line to a new item size, minimizing downtime and physical modifications.
Fine Positioning Calibration
Use the rear stopper screw to fine-tune the end-of-stroke deceleration and final resting position, ensuring delicate components are not crushed.
Is the Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX280-40S the Right Cylinder?
The adjustable 240-280 mm window is perfect for variable end stops. Because the stroke is 280 mm, ensure external guides support the load to prevent rod side-load damage. If position holding without live air is required, select a SAIL or BSAI cylinder instead of this standard SAIJ. To match this ISO 15552 replacement exactly, specify the 40 mm bore, 280 mm stroke, 40 mm adjustment, PT port, SUS304 rod, -S magnet, and the appropriate mounting.

- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — consider a guided cylinder
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (FA/FB/CA/CB/LB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX280-40S FAQ
The rear adjuster screw allows you to shorten the effective travel from the nominal 280 mm down to 240 mm. This stopper only sets the end position and deceleration; it does not lock or hold the load without continuous air pressure.
