The AirTAC Airtac SAUJ40 Adjustable Stroke Cylinder SAUJ40X700-40S is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 700mm 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 SAUJ40X700-40S is a double-acting, single-rod profile cylinder with an on-site extend-stroke adjustment window of 40 mm. You can trim the usable forward travel down from the 700 mm maximum to 660 mm via an external stop screw. It features a 1/4" port, an M12x1.25 rod thread, and a piston magnet for position sensing.
This 40 mm bore generates 628 N push and 528 N pull at 0.5 MPa, yielding a safe working load of roughly 377 N and a vertical lift capacity of about 32 kg with a 2:1 margin. The extruded aluminum profile is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. It includes 21 mm adjustable air cushions and a high-temp Viton H seal option up to 150 C.

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.
Acts as an adjustable end-stop on a machining line, allowing operators to dial in the 40 mm window for different material lengths.
Provides tunable reach on a sorting conveyor where box sizes vary, letting technicians fine-tune the extend endpoint on-site.
Feeds products into testing cells, using the stop screw to set precise push distances without reprogramming the motion controller.
When sizing this unit, step down to a 32 mm bore for lighter loads (402 N push at 0.5 MPa) or up to a 50 mm bore for heavier tasks (982 N push). Choose this SAUJ over a fixed SAU cylinder when your machine assembly requires final end-position tuning of up to 40 mm without buying new hardware. Mounting options include Basic, FA flange, and LB foot, sharing compatibility with the AirTAC SC series. The -S suffix means a magnet is built-in for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. Because the 700 mm stroke is long, use external guides to prevent rod bending and manage side loads.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore cylinder pushes 628 N and pulls 528 N at 0.5 MPa, pushes 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 extend stroke by up to 40 mm, giving a usable forward travel of 660-700 mm.
The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for mounting CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic or reed switches. Note that the stop screw only sets the end position; it is not a load lock. The cylinder will drift without live air, so use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding.
