The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX290-50 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 290mm 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 SAIJ40X290-50 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster. It provides a usable travel window of 240 to 290 mm, allowing you to dial back the nominal stroke by up to 50 mm during commissioning. Delivering 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it is built with a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance.
This model uses PT tapered ports (G1/4) and includes variable air cushions at both ends to manage deceleration. The extruded aluminum barrel features sensor grooves on both sides for flexible switch placement. The rear stopper acts purely as a travel end stop and does not hold the load without live air pressure; for true load-holding, consider the SAIL or BSAI series.

Dial in the exact 240-290 mm travel distance during machine setup to accommodate different product sizes without changing hardware.
Trim the retract position by up to 50 mm on-site to perfect timing and avoid mechanical crashes, replacing the need for external stopper blocks.
Rapidly adjust the stroke end-point when switching the manufacturing line to a new package or component size.
Choose this 40 mm bore when you need precise end-position tuning without adding external stops or swapping cylinders. If your application requires less force, stepping down to a 32 mm bore yields 402 N at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to a 63 mm bore provides 1559 N. The adjustable 240-290 mm window is ideal for product changeovers on a line.
Because the 290 mm stroke is substantial, the 16 mm rod and M12x1.25 thread will carry some side load, but an external guide is recommended for heavy lateral forces. To match this ISO 15552 interchangeable cylinder, specify: 40 mm bore, 290 mm stroke, 50 mm adjustment, PT port, Basic/FA/LB/TC/FTC/TCM1/TCM2 mounting, and no magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 40 mm bore cylinder provides 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 879 N.
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop that lets you shorten the effective travel from the 290 mm nominal stroke down to 240 mm. It sets the end position but does not lock the load without continuous air pressure.
