The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX45-20S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 45mm 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 SAIJ40X45-20-S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster. It provides a 25-45 mm usable travel window by allowing you to trim the nominal 45 mm stroke back by up to 20 mm during setup. Delivering 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it handles precise end-position tuning without requiring cylinder swaps.
This variant uses a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance and includes a magnet for CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors. It features PT tapered port threads (G1/4) and an extruded aluminum barrel with sensor grooves on both sides. The mounting interface supports Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 brackets, omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR options.

Fine-tune the 25-45 mm travel window during product size changes to set new end positions without physically replacing the cylinder.
Dial in the exact retract stop during commissioning to compensate for mechanical tolerances in your tooling setup.
Apply 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa for pressing or locating tasks where exact stroke length is critical.
Choose this 40 mm bore when an application requires 628 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa but stepping down to a 32 mm bore (402 N) is insufficient. The adjustable stroke is ideal for machine changeovers, allowing you to fine-tune the 25-45 mm travel window on the fly instead of swapping a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder. To replace an ISO 15552 unit, match the 40 mm bore, 45 mm stroke, PT port, and -S magnet.
The rear adjuster acts as a travel stop to set deceleration, not a lock, meaning it will not hold the load without live air pressure. For position holding without continuous air, consider an external pilot-operated check valve or the AirTAC SAIL lock cylinder. Because the stroke is under 300 mm, side-load risks are lower, though the 16 mm rod still requires alignment for optimal seal life.
Quick checklist
The rear adjuster lets you shorten the 45 mm nominal stroke by up to 20 mm, providing a usable travel window of 25-45 mm. It acts as a mechanical stop for end-position tuning, not a load-holding lock.
It delivers 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 879 N.
