The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX70-20S 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-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster that allows you to fine-tune the effective travel window down to 50-70 mm from its 70 mm nominal length. Delivering 628N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it bridges the gap between smaller 32mm bores and larger 50mm units. The integrated adjustment screw lets you dial in the retract end position at commissioning without swapping hardware.
This specific SKU is built with a SUS304 stainless steel rod (code B) for superior corrosion resistance in washdown or humid settings. It includes a magnetic piston (-S) for direct compatibility with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors. Unlike fixed-stroke SAI cylinders, this adjustable variant omits FB, CA, CB, and CR mounts, retaining a focused set of Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 mounting interfaces.

Dial in the exact 50 to 70mm travel needed for new jigs during machine changeover without adding external stopper blocks.
Adjust the retract distance on the fly to handle varying package widths on a packaging line without changing the cylinder.
Leverage the SUS304 stainless steel rod to clamp parts reliably in humid or lightly corrosive manufacturing environments.
Select this 40mm bore when an application demands precise end-stop tuning during product changeovers, providing 879N of thrust at 0.7 MPa. If your process requires less force, stepping down to a 32mm bore yields 402N; stepping up to a 50mm bore provides 982N. The PT tapered port threads ensure a tight, leak-free pneumatic connection.
Because the rear adjuster acts strictly as a mechanical stop and the air cushions handle deceleration, this cylinder cannot hold a load without live air pressure. For fail-safe load holding on vertical strokes, consider an AirTAC SAIL pneumatic lock, a BSAI clamp-lock cylinder, or an external pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 40mm bore cylinder provides 628N of push force and 528N of pull force. If operated at 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 879N.
The rear adjuster screw allows you to shorten the 70mm nominal stroke by up to 20mm, creating a usable travel window of 50-70mm. This stopper sets the end position but does not lock the load without air pressure.
