The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ50 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ50AX230-40 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 230mm 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 SAIJ50X230-40 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that allows you to fine-tune the travel window from 190 to 230 mm. It delivers 982 N of push thrust at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to 1767 N at 0.9 MPa, making it well-suited for moderate-force positioning tasks. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for straightforward detection mounting.
This unit is built with a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod for enhanced corrosion resistance and uses PT tapered port threads. The rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop to set the retract end position; it does not hold the load without live air pressure. For applications requiring true load-holding, an external rod lock or the AirTAC SAIL series is required.

Quickly adapt the retract distance for different package sizes on a packaging line without replacing the cylinder or bolting on external stops.
Fine-tune the 190-230 mm travel window during machine commissioning to achieve exact mechanical positioning without physical shimming.
Vary the ejection stroke length on an assembly press to accommodate different part depths while maintaining a consistent base stroke.
Choose this 50 mm bore when you need more force than the 40 mm version (628 N at 0.5 MPa) but want a smaller footprint than the 63 mm bore (1559 N). The 40 mm adjustment range is ideal for machine changeovers, letting you dial in the exact end-stop without swapping cylinders or adding external stops. Because the total stroke is 230 mm, which exceeds the 300 mm threshold, ensure your setup handles side loads—use an external guide to prevent rod binding.
When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, match these exact parameters: 50 mm bore, 230 mm nominal stroke, up to 40 mm adjustment, PT ports, and the SAIJ mounting subset (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2). Note that FB, CA, CB, and CR mounts are omitted from this adjustable series. This SKU does not include a magnet; if you need position sensing, select the -S version to use with AirTAC CMSE reed or DMSE electronic sensors.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, this 50 mm bore cylinder provides 982 N of push thrust and 825 N of pull thrust. If you increase the operating pressure to 0.9 MPa, the push force reaches 1767 N.
The rear adjuster screw lets you shorten the effective travel from the nominal 230 mm down to 190 mm. This stopper only sets the end position and deceleration; it does not lock the load without continuous air pressure.
