The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ50 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ50AX270-40S 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 SAIJ50X270-40-S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It provides a nominal 270 mm stroke that can be fine-tuned down by up to 40 mm, giving you a precise 230-270 mm usable travel window during commissioning. 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 features an SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (code A) for enhanced corrosion resistance and carries an internal magnet (-S) for position detection. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, supporting AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic solid-state switches. It uses PT tapered ports and offers adjustable air cushions at both ends to decelerate the load smoothly.

Dial in the 230-270 mm travel window during format size changes on packaging lines without physically replacing the actuator.
Fine-tune the retract position of sorting gates on a conveyor to accommodate varying package lengths at commissioning.
Set precise end-stops for secondary machining operations, relying on the 982 N thrust to feed materials accurately.
Select this 50 mm bore when an application requires moderate thrust, such as the 982 N push or 825 N pull force at 0.5 MPa, but does not need the full 1559 N capacity of a 63 mm cylinder. The adjustable 230-270 mm window is ideal for product changeovers on a line, allowing you to dial in the exact retract end-position without swapping the cylinder or adding external stops. Because the stroke is 270 mm, ensure adequate external guiding to prevent excessive side-loading on the rod.
For a direct ISO 15552 replacement, match the 50 mm bore, 270 mm stroke, 40 mm adjustment, PT port thread, and -S magnet. Remember that the rear adjuster acts only as a travel stop and the air cushions handle deceleration; neither will hold a load without live air pressure. For true load-holding, consider the SAIL or BSAI series. Mounting options include Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.
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 the maximum 1.0 MPa pressure, it achieves up to 200 kgf.
The rear adjuster screw allows you to shorten the 270 mm nominal stroke by up to 40 mm, creating a 230-270 mm usable travel window. The adjuster is a mechanical stop, not a lock, so the cylinder still requires live air to maintain position.
