The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ50 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ50AX165-20 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 165mm 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 SAIJ50X165-20 is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It features a 165 mm nominal stroke that can be dialed back by up to 20 mm, providing a usable travel window of 145-165 mm for precise end-position tuning during commissioning. Driven by a 50 mm bore, it delivers 982 N of push force and 825 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa.
This variant utilizes a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (material code A) for enhanced corrosion resistance compared to standard carbon steel. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for flexible switch mounting, while fluid is supplied via PT tapered ports sized at G1/4. The rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop to set the travel end and does not lock the load without live air pressure.

Dial in the 145-165 mm travel window during format size changes on a packaging line without swapping out the entire actuator.
Fine-tune the retract end-position at commissioning to perfectly seat components, eliminating the need for external stopper blocks.
Adjust the effective stroke on the fly for automated assembly tooling that must accommodate slight variations in part dimensions.
Select this 50 mm bore cylinder when an application requires 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa but demands variable end-stops for product changeovers, rather than relying on a fixed-stroke SAI model. If your setup requires less force, stepping down to a 40 mm bore yields 628 N; if more force is needed, stepping up to a 63 mm bore provides 1559 N. Because the rear screw only trims travel, remember that load-holding without live air requires a SAIL pneumatic lock or external rod lock.
For a direct ISO 15552 replacement match, verify a 50 mm bore, 165 mm stroke, 20 mm adjustment range, PT port threads, and your desired mounting style. SAIJ supports a reduced mounting set of Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR options. Since this unit lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot host CMSE reed or DMSE electronic sensors without modification.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 50 mm bore cylinder 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 adjusting screw acts as a mechanical stop that allows you to shorten the 165 mm nominal stroke by up to 20 mm, creating a usable travel window of 145-165 mm. It decelerates the travel end but does not lock the load without continuous air pressure.
