The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX600-20S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 600mm 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 SAIJ40X600-20-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster that allows you to fine-tune the effective travel within a 580-600 mm window without swapping components. Equipped with a SUS304 stainless steel rod and a magnetic piston for position sensing, it delivers 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The integrated sensor grooves on both sides of the extruded aluminum barrel accept AirTAC CMSE reed or DMSE electronic solid-state switches.
This 40 mm bore model uses a G1/4 port and includes adjustable air cushions at both ends to manage deceleration over the long 600 mm travel. The rear stopper lets you dial in the exact retract position during commissioning or product changeovers, eliminating the need for external mechanical stops while preserving the standard ISO 15552 mounting footprint.

Dial in the 580-600 mm retract position during format size changes on packaging lines without adding external mechanical stops.
Fine-tune the exact end-of-stroke stopping point during machine commissioning to achieve precise mechanical alignment.
Adjust the travel window on sorting or diverting conveyors to accommodate different package lengths on the fly.
Choose this 40 mm bore when an application requires 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa, stepping up from a 32 mm bore that provides 402 N, or down from a 63 mm bore yielding 1559 N. The adjustable-stroke design is ideal for machinery requiring variable end-stops or precise retract tuning during setup, whereas a fixed SAI cylinder is sufficient for static, unchanging strokes. To replace an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 40 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, PT tapered port thread, and -S magnet.
Because the 600 mm stroke is substantial, the 16 mm rod should be guided externally to prevent excessive side-loading and premature seal wear. Remember that the rear adjuster acts only as a travel stop and does not hold the load without live air; for true load-holding without pressure, consider an AirTAC SAIL pneumatic lock, BSAI clamp-lock cylinder, or an external rod lock.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 40 mm bore cylinder provides 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force. At the maximum 1.0 MPa pressure, it can deliver up to 128 kgf.
The rear adjuster screw allows you to shorten the nominal 600 mm stroke by up to 20 mm, creating a usable travel window of 580-600 mm. The adjuster acts as a mechanical stop to set the retract end position and does not function as a lock.
