The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ50 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ50AX250-50S 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-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster. It provides a usable travel window of 200 to 250 mm, allowing you to dial back the 250 mm nominal stroke by up to 50 mm during commissioning. Delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it handles mid-range automation tasks with precision.
This variant includes a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (option A) for improved corrosion resistance and accepts PT tapered port threads. The extruded aluminum barrel features sensor grooves on both sides, and the integrated magnet (-S) is fully compatible with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic solid-state switches for exact position feedback.

Quickly adapt the retract end-stop for varying package sizes on a packaging line without changing out the entire actuator assembly.
Fine-tune the 200-250 mm travel window during machine setup to perfect the seating force of delicate components.
Adjust the stroke dynamically on diverter mechanisms where the physical contact point shifts based on product width.
Select this 50 mm bore when an application requires fine-tuning the retract end-position without swapping cylinders or adding external stops. If your process demands less push force, stepping down to a 40 mm bore yields 628 N at 0.5 MPa. Conversely, a 63 mm bore provides 1559 N for heavier loads. Because the nominal stroke is 250 mm, external guiding is recommended to prevent excessive side-loading on the rod.
The rear adjuster acts strictly as a mechanical travel stop to set deceleration, not as a locking device. The cylinder cannot hold a load without live air pressure. For true fail-safe load-holding, consider the SAIL pneumatic lock series, the BSAI clamp-lock, or an external pilot-operated check valve. For ISO 15552 dimensionally interchangeable replacements, match the 50 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, 50 mm adjustment, PT port, and -S magnet.
Quick checklist
At an operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, this 50 mm bore cylinder provides 982 N of push force and 825 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 1374 N.
The rear adjuster screw allows you to shorten the effective travel from the 250 mm nominal stroke down to 200 mm. This creates a 50 mm adjustable window for setting exact end-positions without replacing the cylinder.
