The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ50 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ50AX260-40S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 260mm 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 SAIJ50X260-40-S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It delivers a solid 982N push force at 0.5 MPa, featuring a 20mm piston rod and a PT tapered G1/4 port. The integrated -S magnet enables precise position detection using AirTAC CMSE reed or DMSE solid-state sensors housed in the dual-side barrel grooves.
This specific SKU provides a 220-260mm usable travel window, allowing you to dial back the 260mm nominal stroke by up to 40mm during commissioning. Unlike fixed-stroke alternatives, this built-in rear stopper lets you fine-tune end positions without swapping cylinders or adding external stops. The rod is crafted from SUS420J2 stainless steel for enhanced durability against lateral stress.

Dial in the exact 220-260mm end position during commissioning or product size transitions without disassembling the line or adding external stopper blocks.
Fine-tune the retract stroke on the fly to accommodate different material thicknesses or tooling offsets using the 40mm rear adjustment screw.
Leverage the integrated -S magnet with DMSE electronic sensors in the profile grooves to confirm exact end-of-travel positions before triggering the next machine cycle.
Choose this 50mm bore when your application requires the 982N push force at 0.5 MPa, bridging the gap between the 40mm bore (628N) and the 63mm bore (1559N). The adjustable stroke is ideal for machine setups requiring variable end-stops or frequent product changeovers, providing exact positioning without physical hardware modifications.
For any stroke length of 260mm or more, external guidance is recommended to prevent excessive side-loading on the piston rod. Remember that the rear adjuster functions strictly as a travel stop, not a lock; the SAIJ will not hold a load without live air pressure. For true load-holding, consider the SAIL or BSAI series. This model uses the reduced SAIJ mounting set (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2) and is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, this 50mm bore cylinder provides a push force of 982N and a pull force of 825N. If you need higher force, stepping up to the 63mm bore yields 1559N of push force at the same pressure.
The rear adjuster acts as a mechanical stop that lets you shorten the 260mm nominal stroke by up to 40mm, providing a usable travel window of 220-260mm. It only sets the travel end and does not lock or hold the load without continuous air pressure.
