The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ50 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ50AX160-20S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 160mm 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 SAIJ50X160-20-S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It features a 50 mm bore and a 160 mm nominal stroke that can be dialed back by up to 20 mm, providing a usable travel window of 140 to 160 mm for fine end-position tuning. Delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it handles mid-range automation tasks with precision. The piston rod uses SUS420J2 stainless steel (code A) for superior corrosion resistance, and the integrated magnet (-S) enables direct mounting of CMSE reed or DMSE solid-state sensors along the extruded aluminum barrel grooves.
This model utilizes PT tapered port threads and includes adjustable air cushions at both ends to manage impact deceleration. It is important to note that the rear adjuster acts strictly as a mechanical travel stop, not a lock; the cylinder cannot hold a load or maintain position without live air pressure. For applications requiring true load-holding without continuous air, consider the related SAIL or BSAI series.

Related SAI-family variants: SAID (double rod), SAIJ (adjustable stroke), SAIL (with lock), SAIF (with valve), BSAI (enclasp / clamp-lock), and SAI-S with built-in magnet. Rod material: carbon steel (blank) / SUS420J2 (A) / SUS304 (B); seals: TPU (blank) / Viton H / NBR N.
Dial the rear adjuster up to 20 mm to quickly shift the 160 mm stroke end-position for different product sizes on the line without changing the cylinder.
Fine-tune the 140-160 mm travel window during commissioning to perfectly time the 982 N thrust without adding external stopper blocks.
Leverage the SUS420J2 stainless steel rod and 50 mm bore to push loads reliably in washdown or mildly corrosive manufacturing environments.
Choose this 50 mm bore when your application requires roughly 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, or step down to a 40 mm bore if 628 N is sufficient. The adjustable 140 to 160 mm travel window is ideal for machine setups requiring variable end-stops or product changeovers, eliminating the need to physically swap cylinders or add external stopper blocks. The 20 mm rod thread and SUS420J2 stainless rod offer good side-load capability, but any stroke over 300 mm requires an external guide. Mounting options include the reduced SAIJ set of Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR. To replace an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 50 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, 20 mm adjuster, PT port, and -S magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the 50 mm bore provides 982 N of push force and 825 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 1374 N.
The rear adjuster allows you to shorten the 160 mm nominal stroke by up to 20 mm, creating a usable travel window of 140 to 160 mm. It acts as a mechanical stop and does not lock the load without air pressure.
