The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ50 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ50AX230-40S 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-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a single rod and a rear stroke adjuster. It provides a 190-230 mm usable travel window, letting you dial back the nominal 230 mm stroke by up to 40 mm during commissioning. Delivering 982 N of push thrust at 0.5 MPa, it handles mid-range pneumatic motion with precision.
This variant features an SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (code A) for improved corrosion resistance and includes a built-in magnet for position sensing. It works seamlessly with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE solid-state switches fitted into the dual-side sensor grooves on the extruded aluminum barrel. The rear adjuster acts strictly as a travel stop to set end positions and does not hold the load without live air pressure.

Fine-tune the 190-230 mm travel window during machine commissioning to set exact retract positions without installing external mechanical stops.
Rapidly adjust the end-of-stroke position on packaging lines when handling different product sizes, using the 40 mm rear adjustment screw.
Leverage the built-in magnet with DMSE solid-state sensors to confirm intermediate positions within the adjustable travel range for automated clamping.
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 option (1559 N). The adjustable stroke is ideal for machine setup and product changeover, allowing variable end-stops without swapping the cylinder or adding external stops. For load-holding without continuous air pressure, consider the SAIL or BSAI series, as the SAIJ adjuster is not a lock.
This model uses PT tapered port threads (G1/4) and includes the -S magnet option. It supports the SAIJ mounting subset: Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. Because the 230 mm stroke exceeds 300 mm is not the case here, standard guiding is sufficient, but always account for side loads based on the 16 mm rod diameter. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 50 mm bore cylinder provides 982 N of push thrust and 825 N of pull thrust. At the maximum 1.0 MPa pressure, it delivers up to 200 kgf.
The rear adjuster screw allows you to shorten the effective stroke by up to 40 mm from the 230 mm nominal length, creating a 190-230 mm usable travel window. It functions as a mechanical stop for end-position tuning and requires live air to hold the load.
