About the Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX55-50
The AirTAC SAIJ40X55-50 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that allows you to trim the nominal 55mm stroke back by up to 50mm, creating a precise 5-55mm usable travel window for exact end-position tuning. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for flexible switch mounting.
This SKU features a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance and utilizes a PT tapered port thread for a tight, reliable seal. The rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop to set the retract position and relies on the variable air cushions at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration; it does not hold the load without live air pressure.

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 SAIJ40BX55-50 Is Used
Machine Setup Tuning
Dial in the exact retract position within the 5-55mm window during initial commissioning without machining external stopper blocks.
Product Changeover
Quickly adjust the end-stop to accommodate varying package sizes or material lengths on a shared conveyor line.
Precision End-Positioning
Use the fine rear screw adjustment to set precise lower-end stops for delicate assembly operations requiring repeatable travel.
Is the Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX55-50 the Right Cylinder?
The adjustable stroke is ideal for machine setups requiring frequent product changeovers, allowing you to fine-tune the end stop during commissioning without swapping the entire cylinder or adding external stops. When matching an ISO 15552 replacement, verify your 55mm stroke, 50mm adjustment range, PT port, and mounting choice (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2).
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 SAIJ40BX55-50 FAQ
The rear adjuster screw lets you shorten the 55mm nominal stroke by up to 50mm, providing a usable travel window of 5 to 55mm. This allows you to set the exact retract end-position without replacing the cylinder.
