The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ50 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ50AX270-50 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 SAIJ50X270-50 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, delivering 982N of push force at 0.5 MPa. By turning the external stopper screw, you can trim the nominal 270mm travel back by up to 50mm, creating a precise 220-270mm usable window. This allows exact end-position tuning at commissioning without swapping hardware. It features a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod for corrosion resistance and uses PT tapered ports.
Because this is a profile cylinder with an extruded aluminum barrel, it includes sensor grooves on both sides. Without a magnet specified, it runs blind, but the grooves remain ready for future CMSE reed or DMSE electronic switches if retrofitted. The rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop to set the travel end, meaning it will not hold a load without continuous live air pressure.

Related SAI-family variants: SAID (double rod), SAIJ (adjustable stroke), SAIL (with lock), SAIF (with valve), BSAI (enclasp / clamp-lock), and SAI-S with built-in magnet. Rod material: carbon steel (blank) / SUS420J2 (A) / SUS304 (B); seals: TPU (blank) / Viton H / NBR N.
Quickly dial the stroke back from 270mm to 220mm when running a shorter product variant on the line, avoiding physical cylinder swaps.
Fine-tune the retract position during machine commissioning to achieve exact seating without machining external spacers.
Accommodate multiple material lengths in a clamping station by adjusting the rear stopper within the 50mm window.
Choose this 50mm bore when you need more thrust than a 40mm cylinder (628N push at 0.5 MPa) but want to avoid the bulk of a 63mm unit (1559N). The 50mm adjustment range is ideal for product-size changeovers on a line, letting you dial in a new end-stop quickly instead of adding external stops. For load-holding without live air, this adjuster is not a lock; you would need an external pilot-operated check valve or a SAIL lock cylinder.
To match this ISO 15552 replacement exactly, specify: 50mm bore, 270mm stroke, 50mm adjustment, PT port thread, SUS420J2 rod material, and no magnet. Since the 270mm stroke is moderately long, ensure external guiding is used to prevent side-loading damage to the 20mm rod. Mounting options include Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 50mm bore cylinder provides 982N of push force and 825N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 1374N.
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop, allowing you to shorten the effective travel from the 270mm nominal stroke down to 220mm. It sets the end position but does not lock the load without live air pressure.
