The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ200 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ200BX550-50 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø200mm bore and 550mm stroke, G3/4 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 SAIJ200X550-50 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear mechanical stroke adjuster. It provides a usable travel window of 500 to 550 mm, allowing you to dial back the nominal stroke by up to 50 mm during commissioning. This bore 200 unit generates a substantial push force of 15708 N at 0.5 MPa, extending to 21991 N at 0.7 MPa, making it suitable for heavy-duty press and lift operations.
This specific configuration uses a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for flexible switch placement. The rear adjuster functions purely as a travel stop to fine-tune the end position; it does not lock or hold the load without live air pressure, so an external rod lock or SAIL cylinder is required for static holding.

Dial in the exact 500-550 mm end-stop during heavy press commissioning to accommodate material thickness variations without swapping cylinders.
Adjust the retract position on automated assembly lines when switching between product sizes, saving setup time and eliminating external stop hardware.
Execute long linear positioning tasks using the 40 mm SUS304 rod, relying on the rear stop for fine-tuning while external guides handle the lateral loads.
Selecting this bore 200 adjustable cylinder makes sense when you need precise end-position tuning without adding external stops. If 15708 N at 0.5 MPa is excessive, stepping down to a bore 160 unit provides 10053 N. Because the 550 mm stroke is long and the rod diameter is 40 mm, an external guide is recommended to prevent side-loading damage on the unsupported rod. The G3/4 port and PT tapered threads ensure high flow for the 30-500 mm/s speed range.
For an ISO 15552 replacement match, verify the 200 mm bore, 550 mm stroke, 50 mm adjustment range, G3/4 port, and mounting set. SAIJ uses a reduced mounting set of Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, omitting the FB, CA, CB, and CR options. No magnet is specified for this SKU, so position sensing requires adding a magnetic piston or external sensors.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this bore 200 double-acting cylinder provides a push force of 15708 N and a pull force of 15080 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 21991 N.
The rear adjuster acts as a mechanical stop that lets you shorten the effective travel from 550 mm down to 500 mm. It only sets the end position and decelerates the stroke; it does not hold the load without live air pressure.
