The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ50 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ50AX250-50 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 250mm 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 SAIJ50X250-50 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster that allows you to fine-tune the effective travel anywhere within a 200 to 250 mm window. This on-machine adjustability eliminates the need to physically swap cylinders or engineer external hard stops when dialing in final end positions during commissioning. Driven by a 50 mm bore, it provides 982 N of push thrust and 825 N of pull thrust at 0.5 MPa operating pressure.
This specific SKU is configured with a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod for enhanced corrosion resistance and utilizes PT tapered port threads. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for flexible mounting of CMSE reed or DMSE electronic solid-state switches. It supports a standard mounting set including Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, and features variable air cushions at both ends to decelerate the piston smoothly.

Rapidly reconfigure the retract end-stop within the 200-250 mm travel window to accommodate varying package lengths on a packaging line without changing hardware.
Fine-tune the final retract position during machine setup to perfectly align tooling, using the 50 mm adjustment range instead of adding external stopper blocks.
Leverage the 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa to consistently push or eject parts to a dialed-in end position that can be tweaked on the factory floor.
Selecting this 50 mm bore over a smaller 40 mm bore increases your 0.5 MPa push force from 628 N up to 982 N, providing a robust margin for mid-range actuation. Conversely, stepping up to a 63 mm bore would yield 1559 N if your application demands heavier loads. The 50 mm bore uses G1/4 ports and an M16x1.5 rod thread, balancing airflow capacity with structural rigidity.
The 50 mm adjustment range is ideal for machinery requiring frequent product-size changeovers, allowing operators to reposition the retract stop without altering the fixed 250 mm nominal stroke. Because the 250 mm stroke exceeds the 300 mm threshold, it is important to guide the load externally to prevent excessive side-loading on the rod. Remember that the rear adjuster and air cushions act only as travel stops and deceleration devices; they do not hold the load without live air pressure. For secure load-holding, consider the SAIL or BSAI series. When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 50 mm bore, 250 mm nominal stroke, 50 mm adjuster, PT port threads, and the specified SUS420J2 rod material.
Quick checklist
At a 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 50 mm bore cylinder generates 982 N of push force and 825 N of pull force. If you need higher force, stepping up to a 63 mm bore provides 1559 N of push at the same pressure.
The rear adjuster acts as a mechanical stop that lets you shorten the effective stroke by up to 50 mm from the 250 mm nominal length, providing a usable travel window of 200 to 250 mm. It only sets the end position and does not lock or hold the load without continuous air pressure.
