The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX90-20 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 90mm 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 SAIJ40X90-20 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that lets you dial back the nominal 90 mm travel by up to 20 mm, creating a precise 70-90 mm usable window. Delivering 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, it bridges the gap between smaller 32 mm bores and heavier 50 mm units. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, though this specific configuration omits the magnet option, meaning position sensing via CMSE reed or DMSE electronic switches is not enabled out of the box. The piston rod is constructed from SUS304 stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance, and the PT tapered port threads ensure a robust pneumatic connection.
Unlike a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder, this adjustable model allows you to fine-tune the retract end-position directly at commissioning or during product changeover without swapping the barrel or bolting on external stops. It is important to note the rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical travel stop and works alongside the standard variable air cushions at both ends; it does not hold the load without live air pressure. For applications requiring true fail-safe load holding, consider the SAIL or BSAI series instead.

Dial in the exact 70-90 mm travel during initial setup to perfect end-of-stroke positioning without machining custom spacers.
Quickly adjust the retract stop by up to 20 mm when switching the production line to a different package or part size.
Use the rear stopper screw to set precise mechanical limits for repetitive clamping or pressing tasks within the 90 mm window.
Choose this 40 mm bore when you need higher force than a 32 mm bore (402 N push at 0.5 MPa) but want to avoid the bulk of a 50 mm bore (982 N push). The 90 mm nominal stroke combined with a 20 mm adjustment range is ideal for setups requiring exact end-position tuning, such as accommodating varying part sizes on a single machine. The SAIJ mounting set includes Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, deliberately omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR options. To replace an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 40 mm bore, 90 mm stroke, 20 mm adjustment, PT port thread, and SUS304 rod material. Because the stroke is under 300 mm, side-load stress on the 16 mm rod is minimal, though external guides are always recommended for optimal cylinder longevity.
Quick checklist
At a standard 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 acts as a mechanical stop that lets you shorten the effective travel from the nominal 90 mm down to as little as 70 mm. This provides a 70-90 mm usable window for fine-tuning the end position without replacing the cylinder.
