The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX70-20 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 70mm 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 SAIJ40X70-20 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that allows you to fine-tune the effective travel window down to a 50-70 mm range. Delivering 879 N of push force and 528 N of pull force at 0.7 MPa, it fits neatly into the mid-force tier for pneumatics. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for flexible switch mounting.
This specific SKU is configured with a SUS304 stainless steel rod (option B) for superior corrosion resistance and features PT tapered port threads. Unlike a fixed-stroke SAI unit, the external rear stopper lets you dial in the exact retract position during commissioning or product changeover without adding external stops. The adjuster acts purely as a travel stop and does not hold the load without live air pressure.

Dial in the 50-70 mm travel window during product size changes on a packaging line, ensuring precise retract positions without swapping out the entire cylinder.
Fine-tune the final retract position during initial commissioning to perfect a pressing or clamping operation, avoiding the need to bolt on external mechanical stops.
Adjust the actuation length on the fly for a conveyor sorting gate that handles varying package sizes, using the rear screw to set the exact travel limit.
Choose this 40 mm bore when your application requires a nominal 70 mm stroke but demands precise end-positioning at setup. If you need less force, stepping down to a 32 mm bore yields 563 N of push force at 0.7 MPa; stepping up to a 50 mm bore provides 1374 N. The rear adjuster is ideal for variable end stops and machine changeovers, whereas a fixed SAI cylinder is better suited for set-and-forget rigid stops. Remember that the SAIJ adjuster and air cushions only decelerate the travel end—neither will hold a load dynamically. For true fail-safe load holding without live air, consider an SAIL pneumatic lock, a BSAI clamp-lock, or an external pilot-operated check valve.
This model uses a PT tapered port thread and a SUS304 stainless steel rod. It supports the reduced SAIJ mounting set: Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 (omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR). Because it lacks the -S magnet suffix, it does not support AirTAC CMSE reed or DMSE electronic sensors without modification. Dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, it operates at speeds of 30-800 mm/s.
Quick checklist
At a standard 0.7 MPa operating pressure, this 40 mm bore cylinder provides 879 N of push force and 528 N of pull force. At its maximum 1.0 MPa pressure, it can deliver up to 128 kgf.
The rear adjusting screw acts as a mechanical stopper that lets you shorten the 70 mm nominal stroke by up to 20 mm, creating a usable 50-70 mm travel window. It only sets the end position and does not lock the load without live air pressure.
