The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ50 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ50AX260-50 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 SAIJ50X260-50 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, allowing you to dial back the nominal 260 mm travel by up to 50 mm for a usable window of 210-260 mm. It delivers 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it a solid mid-range choice for precise positioning tasks.
This SKU features a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (option A) for improved corrosion resistance and PT tapered port threads. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, ready for CMSE reed or DMSE electronic switches if a magnet is added later. It supports a speed range of 30-800 mm/s and uses the standard SAIJ mounting set: Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2.

Quickly adjust the end-of-stroke position by up to 50 mm when switching between product sizes on a packaging line, avoiding mechanical rebuilds.
Fine-tune the 210-260 mm travel window during commissioning to perfectly time the 982 N push force against varying mechanical stops.
Dial in the exact retraction point for sorting or diverting tasks on a conveyor without adding external hard stops to the frame.
Choose this 50 mm bore when you need more thrust than the 40 mm version (628 N push at 0.5 MPa) but want a smaller footprint than the 63 mm option (1559 N). The 50 mm adjustment range is perfect for machines handling frequent product size changeovers, letting you set exact end positions at commissioning without swapping hardware.
Because the 260 mm stroke exceeds 300 mm is not the case here, but always ensure external guides support side loads on longer strokes. Remember that the rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock; the cylinder will not hold a load without live air. For load-holding without pressure, consider the SAIL or BSAI series. To replace an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 50 mm bore, 260 mm stroke, 50 mm adjust, PT G1/4 port, and mounting style.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 50 mm bore cylinder provides 982 N of push force and 825 N of pull force. It can reach up to 1767 N push force at 0.9 MPa.
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop, allowing you to shorten the effective travel from the 260 mm nominal stroke down to as little as 210 mm. It sets the end position but does not lock the load without continuous air pressure.
