The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40BX900-50 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 900mm 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 SAIJ40X900-50 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that creates an 850-900 mm usable travel window. It delivers 879 N of push force at 0.7 MPa and uses a PT tapered port thread. The piston rod is constructed from SUS304 stainless steel, offering superior corrosion resistance for harsh or washdown environments.
Because the 900 mm stroke length is substantial for a 40 mm bore, the 16 mm rod diameter should be supported by an external guide to prevent sagging and excessive side-loading. The rear adjuster functions strictly as a mechanical stop to dial in the retract position during commissioning; it does not lock the load without live air pressure. For load-holding requirements, consider the SAIL or BSAI series instead.

Related SAI-family variants: SAID (double rod), SAIJ (adjustable stroke), SAIL (with lock), SAIF (with valve), BSAI (enclasp / clamp-lock), and SAI-S with built-in magnet. Rod material: carbon steel (blank) / SUS420J2 (A) / SUS304 (B); seals: TPU (blank) / Viton H / NBR N.
Dial in the exact retract position within the 850-900 mm window during machine commissioning without installing bulky external stopper blocks.
Quickly adapt the stroke length on a packaging line to accommodate different carton sizes by turning the rear adjustment screw.
Utilize the 900 mm travel for automated material transfer tasks, ensuring precise end-positioning with the built-in air cushion.
Choose this 40 mm bore model over the neighboring 32 mm bore when you need more than the 563 N push force (at 0.7 MPa) of the smaller variant, but do not require the 1374 N output of the 50 mm bore. The 50 mm adjustment range is ideal for machinery that requires variable end-stops or frequent product-size changeovers, eliminating the need to physically swap out a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder.
When integrating this ISO 15552 dimensionally interchangeable cylinder, note the available mounting set is limited to Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. Since no magnet is specified, position sensing requires adding an external sensor track or upgrading to an -S model to use CMSE reed or DMSE electronic switches in the dual-side sensor grooves.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, this 40 mm bore cylinder provides 879 N of push force and 528 N of pull force. The standard operating speed ranges from 30 to 800 mm/s.
The rear adjuster acts as a mechanical stopper, allowing you to shorten the effective travel from 900 mm down to 850 mm. It is used for fine-tuning end positions at commissioning but does not hold the load without live air pressure.
