The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX850-20S 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-S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It provides a usable travel window of 830-850 mm, letting you fine-tune the retract end-position by up to 20 mm directly at the machine without swapping out the unit. Delivering 879 N of push force at 0.7 MPa, it handles mid-range actuation reliably.
This variant features a SUS304 stainless steel rod for corrosion resistance and includes a magnet for CMSE or DMSE sensors. It uses PT tapered ports (G1/4) and relies on variable air cushions at both ends to decelerate the payload. The rear adjuster acts strictly as a travel stop for commissioning flexibility, not a load-holding lock.

Dial in the exact 830-850 mm retract position during format changeovers without physically replacing the cylinder or bolting on external stoppers.
Fine-tune the stroke end on a conveyor diverter arm by up to 20 mm to compensate for package size variations on the fly.
Adjust the final end-position of a long 850 mm travel assembly press to perfectly seat components without reprogramming the machine cycle.
Choose this 40 mm bore when you need 879 N of push force at 0.7 MPa, stepping up from a 32 mm bore (563 N) for higher work demand, or down from a 50 mm bore (1374 N) to save space. An adjustable stroke is ideal for product changeovers, allowing you to dial in the exact 830-850 mm end-stop without adding external physical stops. For a fixed end-position, the standard SAI cylinder is a simpler alternative.
Because the 850 mm stroke is long, the 16 mm rod and M12x1.25 thread will still carry a side-load limit; always use an external guide rail to prevent rod binding. To replace this unit with another ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 40 mm bore, 850 mm stroke, 20 mm adjustment, PT G1/4 port, Basic/FA/LB/TC/FTC/TCM1/TCM2 mounting, and the -S magnet. Note that the plain SAIJ does not hold loads without live air; for pilot-operated holding, use a SAIL or BSAI series.
Quick checklist
It delivers 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 879 N.
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop, allowing you to shorten the effective travel from 850 mm down to 830 mm. This provides a 20 mm tuning window for precise end-position setup without changing the cylinder.
