The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX425-20S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 425mm 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 SAIJ40X425-20-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that allows you to fine-tune the effective travel down from a 425 mm nominal stroke to a 405 mm minimum. This creates a highly usable 405-425 mm adjustable window, letting you dial in exact end positions during commissioning without relying on external stops. It delivers a robust 879 N push force at 0.7 MPa, making it well-suited for moderate-load industrial tasks.
Built with a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance, this model includes a magnet for position sensing. The extruded aluminum barrel features sensor grooves on both sides to accept AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic solid-state switches. It utilizes PT tapered ports and offers adjustable air cushions at both ends to manage deceleration, though the rear adjuster acts strictly as a travel stop rather than a load-holding lock.

Dial in the 405-425 mm travel window during line changeovers to accommodate different product lengths without swapping the entire cylinder.
Use the rear stroke stopper to fine-tune the exact end-of-stroke position during initial machine setup, eliminating the need for external shims.
Adjust the retract position on the fly for conveyor diverters or gating mechanisms that require precise, repeatable endpoint control.
Select this 40 mm bore when you need more thrust than the 32 mm variant (which provides 563 N push at 0.7 MPa) but want to avoid the larger footprint of a 50 mm cylinder. An adjustable stroke is ideal for machine setups requiring variable end-stops or frequent product changeovers, providing setup flexibility that a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder cannot match. To replace an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 40 mm bore, 425 mm stroke, PT port, and -S magnet.
Because the 425 mm stroke is relatively long, the 16 mm rod requires external guidance to prevent excessive side-loading and premature seal wear. Remember that the rear adjuster and air cushions only manage travel endpoints; this cylinder will not hold a load without live air pressure, so consider a SAIL or BSAI model if true locking is required.
Quick checklist
The rear adjuster acts as a mechanical stop that shortens the effective travel. For this model, you can trim the nominal 425 mm stroke back by up to 20 mm, creating an adjustable travel window between 405 and 425 mm.
At a 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the SAIJ40X425-20-S provides a push force of 879 N and a pull force of 528 N. It can deliver up to 1130 N push force at 0.9 MPa.
