The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ50 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ50AX185-30S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 185mm 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 SAIJ50X185-30-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, allowing you to dial back the nominal 185 mm travel to a precise 155-185 mm window during commissioning. Fitted with a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod and a PT tapered port, it delivers 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. This variant includes a magnet for non-contact position sensing using CMSE reed or DMSE electronic switches.
The rear adjuster acts purely as a travel stop to fine-tune end positions without adding external stops or swapping the cylinder. The extruded aluminum barrel features sensor grooves on both sides, and the mounting set includes Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 options. Note that the adjuster and air cushions decelerate the load but do not hold it without live air pressure.

Dial in the 155-185 mm travel window on the fly to accommodate different package sizes on a packaging line without physically swapping out the actuator.
Fine-tune the retract stroke during machine commissioning to perfectly time the picking or placing of components, avoiding the need for external mechanical stops.
Utilize the 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa for light-duty pressing operations while adjusting the travel end to account for material thickness variations.
Choose this 50 mm bore when an application requires 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa, stepping up from a 40 mm bore that provides 628 N. The 30 mm adjustment range is ideal for machine setups requiring variable end-stops during product changeovers rather than relying on a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder. Because the stroke is 185 mm, an external guide is recommended if side loads are present.
For load-holding without continuous air pressure, the SAIJ adjuster is not a lock; consider an AirTAC SAIL pneumatic lock, BSAI clamp-lock, or an external pilot-operated check valve. To replace an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 50 mm bore, 185 mm stroke, 30 mm adjuster, PT port, and the -S magnet requirement.
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 the maximum 1.0 MPa pressure, it can deliver up to 200 kgf.
The rear adjuster screw allows you to shorten the effective travel from the nominal 185 mm down to 155 mm. It acts as a mechanical stop to set the end position precisely, but it is not a lock and will not hold the load without live air pressure.
