The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX350-40S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 350mm 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 SAIJ40X350-40-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, delivering 879N of push force at 0.7 MPa. It features a SUS304 stainless steel rod and a PT tapered port. By turning the rear screw, you achieve a usable travel window of 310 to 350 mm, enabling precise end-position tuning without swapping out the entire actuator.
Because the nominal 350 mm stroke is relatively long, the 16 mm rod and M12x1.25 thread provide robust support, though an external guide is still recommended for heavy lateral loads. This -S variant includes a magnet for CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors, which seat neatly into the dual-side extruded barrel grooves. The adjuster acts purely as a travel stop and does not hold the load without live air pressure.

Dial in the exact 310 to 350 mm end-stop during format size changes on a packaging line, avoiding the need to physically swap cylinders for different carton widths.
Trim the retract position by up to 40 mm during machine setup to perfectly align a gripper jaw, compensating for mechanical tolerance stack-up without external shims.
Act as a variable diverter gate on a conveyor, where the 40 mm stroke adjustment allows operators to quickly reconfigure the travel distance for varying package lengths.
Choose this 40 mm bore when a 32 mm bore (providing 563N push at 0.7 MPa) lacks the necessary thrust, but a 63 mm bore (2182N) would be physically oversized. The 40 mm adjustment code is selected when a machine requires a 310 to 350 mm stroke window to accommodate multiple product sizes on a single line. Instead of machining custom spacers or buying a fixed SAI cylinder for every format, this adjustable-stroke unit allows on-the-fly changeovers.
For a drop-in ISO 15552 replacement, match the 40 mm bore, 350 mm nominal stroke, 40 mm adjustment, PT port thread, and the -S magnet option. Note that SAIJ supports Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 mounts, omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR. Since the stroke is 350 mm, ensure external guiding to prevent excessive side loading on the rod. If your process requires the load to be held mechanically without continuous air pressure, select a SAIL lock or BSAI clamp-lock cylinder instead, as this adjuster is not a brake.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it provides 628N push and 528N pull force. At 0.7 MPa the push force is 879N, and it reaches 1130N at 0.9 MPa.
A rear screw stopper lets you mechanically shorten the effective travel from the 350 mm nominal stroke down to 310 mm. This creates a 310-350 mm adjustable window for fine-tuning the end position at commissioning, without acting as a load-holding lock.
