The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ50 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ50AX240-40 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 SAIJ50X240-40 is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster. It provides a nominal 240 mm stroke that can be fine-tuned down by up to 40 mm, creating a precise 200-240 mm usable travel window. Delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it is built to handle mid-range automation tasks with reliable variable air cushions at both ends.
This specific configuration 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, allowing for direct mounting of CMSE reed or DMSE electronic switches if a magnet is added later. Fluid must be filtered to 40 um, operating safely within a 0.15-1.0 MPa pressure range.

Quickly dial the retract stroke back by up to 40 mm to accommodate different package lengths on a packaging line without changing the cylinder.
Fine-tune the final resting position during machine commissioning to achieve exact alignment without machining external hard stops.
Set precise diverting distances on conveyor systems where product sizes vary, using the 200-240 mm travel window to adapt on the fly.
Choose this 50 mm bore when an application requires approximately 982 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa; stepping down to a 40 mm bore reduces push force to 628 N, while an 80 mm bore increases it to 2513 N. The 40 mm adjustment range is ideal for machine setups requiring product-size changeovers, allowing operators to dial in the retract end-position without swapping cylinders or adding external stops. Since the stroke is 240 mm, ensure adequate external guiding to prevent excessive rod side-loading on long unsupported loads.
When specifying a replacement, verify the 50 mm bore, 240 mm nominal stroke, 40 mm adjuster, PT tapered port threads, and the SUS420J2 rod material. Note that the rear adjuster acts strictly as a travel stop and does not hold the load without live air pressure; for fail-safe load holding, consider an AirTAC SAIL or BSAI cylinder. The SAIJ mounting set includes Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR options.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, this 50 mm bore cylinder provides 982 N of push force and 825 N of pull force. At a maximum 1.0 MPa operating pressure, it can deliver up to 200 kgf.
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop, allowing you to shorten the effective stroke from its nominal 240 mm down to 200 mm. It is a travel stop, not a lock, meaning the cylinder requires live air to maintain its position.
