About the Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX55-40S
The AirTAC SAIJ40X55-40-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, enabling a usable travel window of 15-55 mm from its 55 mm nominal stroke. The integrated -S magnet works seamlessly with CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors via the dual-side barrel grooves.
This unit features a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance and uses PT tapered port threads. The rear adjustment screw acts purely as a mechanical stop to fine-tune the retract end position during commissioning; it does not lock or hold the load without live air pressure. Mounting options include Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø40mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 528 N | 528 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 739 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 108 kgf | |
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.

Where the Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX55-40S Is Used
Machine Changeover
Dial in the 15-55 mm travel window during format size changes on a packaging line without bolting on external stops.
Variable End Stops
Fine-tune the retract position to accommodate varying product thicknesses, using the rear screw as a precise mechanical stop.
Is the Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX55-40S the Right Cylinder?
If your application requires less force, stepping down to a 32 mm bore yields 402 N; for heavier loads, a 50 mm bore provides 982 N. Because the stroke is 55 mm, side-loading risks are minimal, but always ensure standard guide alignment. For load-holding without continuous air pressure, this standard SAIJ is insufficient—consider an AirTAC SAIL or BSAI series instead. Replacement requires matching the 40 mm bore, 55 mm stroke, -40 adjustment, PT G1/4 ports, and -S magnet.
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 SAIJ40BX55-40S FAQ
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop, allowing you to shorten the effective stroke from 55 mm down to 15 mm. It sets the travel end position but does not lock or hold the load without live air pressure.
It features a SUS304 stainless steel rod for high corrosion resistance.
