The AirTAC SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX50-40 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 50mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its standardized mounting interface makes it interchangeable with other ISO 15552 cylinders at the mounting interface.
It features a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance and PT tapered port threads. By integrating an external adjusting screw, this actuator allows you to fine-tune the retract end-position during commissioning without swapping out the entire cylinder.
With a 50mm nominal stroke and a 40mm adjustment code, this model provides a usable travel window of 10-50mm. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, ready to accept CMSE reed or DMSE electronic switches if a magnet is added later. The rear stopper simply sets the travel limit and relies on the variable air cushion for deceleration; it does not lock or hold the load without continuous live air pressure.

Double-rod model: the rod passes through the rear cover, so both piston faces lose rod area and push is shown at the annular-area value. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

Dial in the exact 10-50mm end-position during product size changes without adding external stopper blocks to the fixture.
Fine-tune the retract stroke at commissioning to perfect the seating pressure of delicate components using the rear screw.
Select this 40mm bore actuator when an application demands precise end-stop tuning within a short 10-50mm travel window. If your setup requires less force, stepping down to a 32mm bore yields 563N at 0.7 MPa, whereas moving up to a 50mm bore provides 1374N. The adjustable stroke is specifically beneficial for machine changeovers, allowing operators to dial in the exact position on the fly instead of machining external hard stops.
Because the stroke is under 300mm, side-load stress on the 16mm rod is manageable, though external guides remain recommended for heavy lateral loads. To match this ISO 15552 dimensionally interchangeable cylinder, confirm the 50mm stroke, 40mm adjustment range, PT G1/4 port, and the reduced SAIJ mounting set (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2). Note that the rear adjuster acts only as a travel stop; for true load-holding without air pressure, consider an external rod lock or the AirTAC SAIL series.
Quick checklist
The rear adjuster screw allows you to mechanically shorten the effective stroke by up to 40mm. This creates a usable travel window of 10-50mm, letting you set the exact retract end-position without replacing the cylinder.
