The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ50 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ50AX240-20 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 240mm 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 SAIJ50X240-20 is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. By dialing the external stopper at the rear, you can trim the effective travel back by up to 20 mm, creating a usable stroke window of 220-240 mm for precise end-position tuning during commissioning.
This 50 mm bore generates 982 N of push thrust and 825 N of pull thrust at 0.5 MPa. It features a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (option A) for enhanced corrosion resistance and uses PT tapered port threads. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, allowing direct mounting of CMSE reed or DMSE electronic solid-state switches if a magnet is specified later.

Dial in the 220-240 mm travel window during format changes without physically swapping out the entire cylinder.
Fine-tune the retract end-position to absorb mechanical tolerances and achieve precise machine setup.
Use the rear adjusting screw to set exact retraction limits for delicate positioning tasks.
Choose this adjustable-stroke model when a fixed 240 mm SAI cylinder cannot accommodate minor mechanical variances or product changeovers without adding external stops. If you need less force, stepping down to a 40 mm bore yields 628 N push at 0.5 MPa, while an 80 mm bore provides 2513 N for heavier loads. Because the stroke is 240 mm, ensure adequate guidance to prevent excessive side-loading on the 16 mm rod.
The rear adjuster acts strictly as a travel stop to set deceleration and end-position; it does not hold the load without live air pressure. For true fail-safe load holding, select an AirTAC SAIL (pneumatic lock) or BSAI (clamp-lock) cylinder. This SAIJ model shares the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface dimensions, utilizing a reduced accessory set of Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 mounts.
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. It can reach up to 1374 N push at 0.7 MPa.
The rear adjuster screw allows you to shorten the nominal 240 mm stroke by up to 20 mm, giving an effective travel window of 220 to 240 mm. It functions as a mechanical stop for end-position tuning, not as a load-holding lock.
