The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX850-20 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 850mm 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 SAIJ40X850-20 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 830-850 mm without adding external stops. Delivering 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it is equipped with a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance in demanding environments.
Unlike a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder, this model uses an external rear screw to set the retract end-position precisely during commissioning. The adjustment mechanism acts purely as a travel stop to decelerate the load, so it cannot hold position without live air pressure. For load-holding without continuous air, an external rod lock or related SAIL and BSAI series should be specified.

Dial in the exact 830-850 mm end-stop during product size transitions without physically replacing the cylinder or adding external mechanical stops.
Leverage the SUS304 stainless steel rod for push operations in washdown or corrosive manufacturing environments requiring precise travel limits.
Actuate long-travel diverters on a production line, using the rear adjuster to synchronize end positions across multiple stations.
Choose this 40 mm bore cylinder when an application requires 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, or step up to a 50 mm bore if your setup demands 982 N. The adjustable stroke is ideal for product changeovers, letting operators dial in the exact end-stop without swapping the cylinder. This SKU uses a PT tapered G1/4 port and supports the reduced SAIJ mounting set: Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.
Because the 850 mm stroke is long, an external guide is strongly recommended to prevent side-loading damage to the rod. This configuration features a SUS304 stainless steel rod, a standard carbon steel barrel with dual sensor grooves, and no internal magnet. If position sensing is required, select a magnet-equipped variant for use with CMSE reed or DMSE electronic sensors.
Quick checklist
The rear adjuster screw lets you shorten the nominal 850 mm stroke by up to 20 mm, providing a usable travel window of 830-850 mm. It functions as a travel stop for end-position tuning and does not lock the load without live air pressure.
At 0.5 MPa, the 40 mm bore provides 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force. The standard speed range for this bore size is 30-800 mm/s, and the cylinder operates safely between 0.15 and 1.0 MPa.
