The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ50 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ50AX120-40S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 120mm 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 SAIJ50X120-40-S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It provides a nominal 120 mm stroke that can be fine-tuned down by up to 40 mm, creating an exact 80-120 mm usable travel window. Delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it fits perfectly into mid-range pneumatic setups requiring precision end-position tuning.
This variant features a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (code A) for enhanced corrosion resistance and includes a magnet (-S) for direct compatibility with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, and the mounting set supports Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 options.

Quickly dial the stroke back from 120 mm to 80 mm via the rear screw when adapting the line to different product sizes, avoiding physical cylinder swaps.
Fine-tune the retraction point during machine commissioning to achieve exact clamping or positioning without machining custom external spacers.
Provides 982 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa for pressing or lifting tasks, while the SUS420J2 rod resists washdown environments in food or packaging plants.
Select this 50 mm bore when an application requires 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa, stepping up from a 40 mm bore (628 N) or down from a 63 mm bore (1559 N). The adjustable stroke is chosen over a fixed SAI cylinder when you need to dial in the exact end-stop during commissioning or product changeovers without adding external stops. If your machine requires holding the load without live air pressure, note that the rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock; you should use an SAIL or BSAI cylinder instead.
For this 120 mm stroke, the 16 mm rod thread handles standard side loads adequately, but any setup exceeding 300 mm of travel requires an external guide. To match this ISO 15552 interchangeable cylinder, specify: 50 mm bore, 120 mm stroke, 40 mm adjustment, PT tapered port threads, and the -S magnet option.
Quick checklist
The rear adjuster acts as a mechanical stop that trims the effective travel. For this model, you can shorten the 120 mm nominal stroke by up to 40 mm, providing an adjustable travel window of 80 to 120 mm. It only sets the end position; it does not lock the load.
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the SAIJ50X120-40-S generates 982 N of push force and 825 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 1374 N.
