The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ50 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ50AX270-50S 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-S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster. It provides a usable travel window of 220-270 mm, letting you dial back the 270 mm nominal stroke by up to 50 mm during commissioning. Delivering 982 N of push thrust at 0.5 MPa, it handles mid-range actuation tasks with precision. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for flexible switch placement.
This SKU is equipped with a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (option A) for superior corrosion resistance and ships with a -S magnet for position sensing. It supports AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic solid-state switches. The PT tapered port threads ensure a tight, reliable pneumatic connection at the G1/8 port.

Fine-tune the 220-270 mm travel window during initial commissioning to perfectly align end-of-stroke positions without machining external stopper blocks.
Rapidly adapt the cylinder's effective stroke on packaging lines when product dimensions change, using the 50 mm rear adjustment screw to set new end stops.
Achieve precise end-position tuning on automated assembly equipment, leveraging the SUS420J2 stainless rod and CMSE/DMSE sensors for repeatable feedback.
Choose this 50 mm bore when your application requires 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If your load demands less power, stepping down to a 40 mm bore yields 628 N; for heavier payloads, a 63 mm bore provides 1559 N. The 50 mm adjustment range is ideal for product-size changeovers on a line, allowing variable end-stops without swapping the cylinder or adding external stops. Because the 270 mm stroke exceeds 300 mm? No, it is 270 mm, but long unsupported strokes still need an external guide to manage side load. The 16 mm rod and M12x1.25 thread handle moderate side loads well.
For load-holding without live air, note that the rear adjuster acts only as a travel stop, not a lock. The air cushions at both ends manage deceleration but will not hold the load. For secure positioning, consider the SAIL (air-released lock) or BSAI (clamp-lock) series. This cylinder is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 and uses the reduced SAIJ mounting set: 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 thrust and 825 N of pull thrust. At the maximum 1.0 MPa pressure, it delivers up to 200 kgf.
The rear adjuster screw lets you shorten the 270 mm nominal stroke by up to 50 mm, creating a 220-270 mm usable travel window. It acts as a mechanical stop to set the end position and does not lock the load without live air pressure.
