The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX500-30 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 500mm 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 SAIJ40X500-30 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster. It provides a 470-500mm usable travel window, allowing you to dial back the 500mm nominal stroke by up to 30mm during commissioning. Delivering 628N push force at 0.5 MPa, it uses a G1/4 PT tapered port and a 16mm rod.
This SUS304 stainless steel rod variant (code B) handles demanding environments, while the extruded aluminum barrel integrates sensor grooves on both sides. The rear adjuster acts purely as a travel stop for end-position tuning and does not hold the load without live air pressure.

Dial in the 470-500mm travel window during product size transitions without physically replacing the actuator.
Fine-tune the retract position by up to 30mm at commissioning to perfect the seating of parts without external stop blocks.
Adjust the stroke endpoint on the fly for sorting or diverting different package lengths on a single conveyor line.
Select this 40mm bore cylinder when an application requires 628N of push force at 0.5 MPa alongside flexible end-positioning. The 30mm adjustment window is ideal for product changeovers, letting you fine-tune the retract stroke without swapping cylinders or adding external stops. If your setup needs higher force, stepping up to the 50mm bore yields 982N. To replace an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 500mm stroke, 30mm adjuster, G1/4 PT port, and Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2 mounting interface.
Because the 500mm stroke is relatively long, the 16mm rod and M12x1.25 thread still require an external guide to prevent side-loading damage on unsupported loads. For applications requiring position holding without live air, use a SAIL or BSAI cylinder instead of relying on the rear stopper.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 40mm bore cylinder provides 628N of push force and 528N of pull force. It can reach 1130N push force at 0.9 MPa.
The rear adjuster screw lets you shorten the 500mm nominal stroke by up to 30mm, creating a 470-500mm travel window. The adjuster acts as a mechanical stop for end-position tuning and does not function as a lock to hold the load without air pressure.
