The AirTAC SAIJ80 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ80BX280-40S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 280mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its standardized mounting interface makes it interchangeable with other ISO 15552 cylinders at the mounting interface.
The AirTAC SAIJ80X280-40-S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. By turning the rear stopper screw, you unlock a usable travel window of 240 to 280 mm, allowing precise end-position tuning without swapping out the physical cylinder.
This adjustable-stroke model integrates seamlessly with existing setups using PT tapered G3/8 ports and a reduced mounting set (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2). The integrated magnet (-S) supports position sensing via AirTAC CMSE reed or DMSE electronic solid-state switches housed in the dual-side sensor grooves. Since the barrel is an extruded aluminum profile, it provides a rigid, lightweight structure distinct from traditional tie-rod designs.

Double-rod model: the rod passes through the rear cover, so both piston faces lose rod area and push is shown at the annular-area value. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

Use the rear stopper screw to precisely set the retraction end position during commissioning, ensuring perfect alignment of tooling.
Ideal for assembly stations where the effective retraction distance needs occasional adjustment to handle multiple part variants.
The 40 mm adjustment range is perfect for machine setups requiring variable end stops during product changeovers, eliminating the need to bolt on external stops or buy multiple fixed-stroke SAI cylinders. For exact ISO 15552 replacement matching, verify the 280 mm stroke, 40 mm adjuster, PT G3/8 port, and the -S magnet requirement.
Because the 280 mm stroke is substantial, the 25 mm rod and M20x1.5 thread provide robust support, but an external guide is still recommended to prevent excessive side-loading on long unsupported travels. Remember that the rear adjuster acts purely as a travel stop and the air cushions handle deceleration; neither will hold a load without live air pressure. For load-holding requirements, consider an AirTAC SAIL pneumatic lock, a BSAI clamp-lock cylinder, or an external rod lock.
Quick checklist
If operated at 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 3518 N.
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop, allowing you to shorten the nominal 280 mm stroke by up to 40 mm. This creates a usable travel window of 240 to 280 mm, which can be fine-tuned during commissioning without replacing the cylinder.
