The AirTAC Airtac SAUJ40 Adjustable Stroke Cylinder SAUJ40X210-20S is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 210mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its hard-anodized aluminum-profile barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore, and it shares SC-series mounting accessories.
The AirTAC SAUJ40X210-20S is a double-acting, single-rod profile cylinder with an on-site adjustable extend stroke. An external stop screw lets you shorten the 210 mm nominal travel by up to 20 mm, yielding a usable 190-210 mm window without buying a new actuator. The extruded aluminum profile barrel makes it shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same 40 mm bore. It features a 1/4" port, an M12x1.25 rod thread, and 21 mm adjustable air cushions.
This bore delivers 628 N push and 528 N pull at 0.5 MPa, peaking at 1130 N push at 0.9 MPa. A practical computed insight: the safe working load is roughly 377 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa push force), translating to a 32 kg vertical lift capacity with a 2:1 safety margin. The -S suffix means a built-in piston magnet is present for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensing.

Related SAU-family variants: SAUD (double rod), SAUJ (adjustable stroke), SAUF (with built-in solenoid valve), and SAU-S with built-in magnet. Seals: TPU (blank) / Viton H / NBR N. Sensor switches: CMSG / DMSG / EMSG.
Trimming the extend stroke by up to 20 mm on-site allows operators to dial in the exact clamping force on variable-thickness workpieces without swapping actuators.
Adjusting the pusher end position precisely matches the diverter angle for different package sizes on a packaging line.
Fine-tuning the 210 mm downstroke ensures delicate parts are seated to the correct depth without bottoming out and causing damage.
Size this 40 mm bore against its neighbors: a 32 mm bore gives 402 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a 50 mm bore yields 982 N. Choose the 40 mm when your load requires the 628 N @0.5 MPa output. Pick the SAUJ over a fixed SAU when you need final end-position tuning during machine commissioning or to accommodate part variance without machining external stops. The -20 adjust window is ideal for fine-tuning within a 20 mm range. Basic, FA flange, and LB foot mountings are available (sharing SC series hole patterns). The -S magnet enables electronic or reed sensors. Because the 210 mm stroke is under 300 mm, side-load risks are lower, but always guide the load for optimal seal life.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it provides 628 N push and 528 N pull. Push force is 879 N at 0.7 MPa and 1130 N at 0.9 MPa, with a theoretical max of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The external stop screw allows you to shorten the 210 mm extend stroke by up to 20 mm on-site, giving a usable 190-210 mm range.
The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for mounting CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors for position detection. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold load on air loss; the piston drifts and the cushion only decelerates. The stop screw sets end position but is not a load lock. For held loads, use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
