About the Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX400-20S
The AirTAC SAIJ40X400-20-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that trims the effective travel. It provides a usable window of 380-400mm, letting you dial in the exact end position during commissioning without adding external stops. It delivers 628N of push force and 528N of pull force at 0.5MPa.
This variant includes a SUS304 stainless steel rod and a magnet for position sensing. It accepts AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic switches in its dual sensor grooves. The PT tapered ports are G1/4, and the extruded aluminum barrel omits tie-rod construction.

Where the Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX400-20S Is Used
Machine Setup Tuning
Dial in the 380-400mm retract end-position during commissioning to perfect product placement without external stoppers.
Product Changeover
Quickly adjust the travel window on a packaging line when handling slightly different carton sizes, reducing downtime.
End-Stop Calibration
Use the rear screw to fine-tune the exact resting position of the tooling, ensuring precise alignment before locking the program.
Is the Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX400-20S the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 40mm bore when you need more thrust than a 32mm bore (402N push at 0.5MPa) but less bulk than a 50mm option (982N push). The adjustable stroke is ideal for product changeovers on a line, allowing you to fine-tune the retract stop on the fly instead of swapping a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder. To match this ISO 15552 replacement, use bore 40, stroke 400, 20mm adjustment, PT G1/4 ports, and the -S magnet. Because the 400mm stroke is long, use an external guide to prevent side-load damage to the rod. The rear adjuster acts as a travel stop, not a lock; for load-holding without live air, use a SAIL or BSAI cylinder.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ 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 SAIJ40BX400-20S FAQ
At 0.5MPa, it provides 628N push and 528N pull force. At 0.7MPa, push increases to 879N. The operational speed range is 30-800mm/s.
The rear adjuster screw lets you shorten the nominal 400mm stroke by up to 20mm, creating a 380-400mm usable travel window. It functions as a mechanical stop to set the end position and does not lock the load without live air pressure.
