The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ40 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ40X225-50S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 225mm 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 SAIJ40X225-50-S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It delivers 628 Newtons of push force at 0.5 MPa and features a built-in magnet for position sensing. By turning the external stopper screw, you can trim the effective travel back by up to 50 mm, creating a precise 175-225 mm usable stroke window without needing external stops.
This bore size utilizes a G1/4 port and a 16 mm carbon steel rod with an M12x1.25 thread, providing a robust interface for moderate loads. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, allowing you to easily mount CMSE reed or DMSE electronic switches along the entire travel path. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 standards while retaining AirTAC's specific SAIJ mounting set (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2).

Quickly fine-tune the 175-225 mm end position during format size changes on a packaging line without adding physical shims.
Dial in the exact clamping depth during machine commissioning using the rear screw, avoiding the cost of machining custom spacers.
Provide an adjustable mechanical stop for assembly presses that need to accommodate slight variations in incoming part heights.
Choose this 40 mm bore when an application demands more power than a 32 mm cylinder (402N push at 0.5 MPa) but lacks the space for a 50 mm unit (982N). The 50 mm adjustment range is ideal for production lines running mixed product sizes, letting operators dial in the exact end position during changeover rather than swapping hardware. The PT tapered port threads ensure a tight, leak-free pneumatic connection.
Because the nominal stroke is 225 mm, the 16 mm rod remains well-supported, but always verify side-load conditions against your external guide rails. Remember that the rear adjuster acts strictly as a travel stop and the air cushion only handles deceleration; neither will hold a load without live air pressure. For dead-load holding, select an AirTAC SAIL or BSAI cylinder instead.
Quick checklist
The rear stopper screw allows you to shorten the nominal 225 mm stroke by up to 50 mm. This creates a usable travel window of 175-225 mm, which can be fine-tuned during commissioning or product changeover without replacing the cylinder.
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, it provides 628 Newtons of push force and 528 Newtons of pull force. If you increase the pressure to 0.7 MPa, the push force rises to 879 Newtons.
