The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ50 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ50AX270-30S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 270mm 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 SAIJ50X270-30-S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster. It provides a nominal 270 mm stroke that can be fine-tuned down by up to 30 mm, creating a precise 240-270 mm usable travel window. Delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it bridges the gap between smaller 40 mm bores and heavier 63 mm units.
This variant includes a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (code A) for improved corrosion resistance and ships with a magnetic piston (-S) for position detection. The extruded aluminum barrel features sensor grooves on both sides, accepting AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic solid-state switches. Mounting options include Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.

Dial in the 240-270 mm travel window during format size changes on packaging lines without replacing the cylinder or adding external shims.
Fine-tune the exact retract position during machine commissioning to perfect part ejection or clamping depth on the fly.
Adjust the stroke end-point for diverter gates or pushers handling different carton lengths on a shared conveyor system.
Select this 50 mm bore when an application requires approximately 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa but needs on-machine adjustability rather than a fixed 270 mm SAI cylinder. The rear screw stopper allows you to trim the end position during commissioning or product changeover without swapping hardware. For lower force needs, a 40 mm bore provides 628 N; for higher loads, a 63 mm bore yields 1559 N. Because the total stroke is 270 mm, ensure external guiding is used to prevent excessive side-loading on the M16x1.5 rod thread.
The rear adjuster acts purely as a travel stop and does not hold the load without live air pressure. If your setup requires true load-holding in the event of air loss, consider an AirTAC SAIL pneumatic lock, a BSAI clamp-lock cylinder, or an external rod lock. This SAIJ50X270-30-S uses PT tapered port threads and a G1/4 air connection, making it dimensionally interchangeable with other ISO 15552 cylinders.
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. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 1374 N.
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop, allowing you to shorten the effective stroke from its 270 mm nominal length down to 240 mm. It decelerates the travel end but does not lock the load without continuous air pressure.
