The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX40-20 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 40mm 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 SAIJ40X40-20 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster. It provides a nominal 40 mm stroke that can be fine-tuned down by up to 20 mm, creating a precise 20-40 mm usable travel window. This allows for exact end-position calibration during commissioning without swapping hardware.
Delivering 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this bore size utilizes a G1/4 port and a 16 mm rod. The rod is constructed from SUS304 stainless steel for enhanced corrosion resistance. It features variable air cushions at both ends to decelerate the load, though the rear adjuster acts strictly as a travel stop and does not hold the load without live air pressure.

Dial in the exact 20-40 mm travel distance during machine commissioning to perfect component seating without machining external spacers.
Quickly adjust the cylinder's extended position on packaging lines when running different product heights, minimizing downtime.
Adapt the actuation depth for pressing or clamping operations on the fly, ensuring delicate parts are not crushed during setup.
Select this 40 mm bore when an application requires 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa but demands variable end-stops for product changeovers. If less force is needed, stepping down to a 32 mm bore yields 402 N. Choosing the SAIJ over a fixed SAI cylinder eliminates the need to bolt on external stops or buy multiple cylinders for slightly different travel lengths.
When matching ISO 15552 replacements, verify the 40 mm bore, 40 mm stroke, 20 mm adjustment range, PT tapered port threads, and the SUS304 rod material. Note that SAIJ supports Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 mounts, omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR options. For load-holding without live air, consider an external rod lock or the SAIL series instead.
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 allows you to trim the 40 mm nominal stroke back by up to 20 mm, providing a usable travel window of 20-40 mm. This stopper sets the end position but does not lock the load without continuous air pressure.
