The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ50 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ50AX280-10 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 280mm 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 SAIJ50X280-10 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster. It provides a 270-280 mm usable travel window, allowing you to dial back the nominal 280 mm stroke by up to 10 mm. This fine-tuning capability is ideal for setting precise end positions during commissioning without swapping the cylinder or adding external stops. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for flexible switch mounting.
Delivering 982 N of push force and 825 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, this 50 mm bore actuator handles moderate loads effectively. It features a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod for enhanced durability against moisture and wear. The adjustable stopper acts purely as a travel end-deceleration device and does not hold the load without live air pressure. For load-holding requirements without continuous air supply, consider the SAIL or BSAI series instead.

Dial in the exact end position within the 270-280 mm window during product size changes on a packaging line without installing external physical stops.
Fine-tune the retract stroke at commissioning to absorb mechanical tolerances and achieve precise seating for machining fixtures.
Set the exact travel distance for a sorting gate on a conveyor to accommodate varying package dimensions on the fly.
Choose this SAIJ50X280-10 variant when your application requires exact end-position tuning during machine setup or product changeover. If your process demands less force, stepping down to a 40 mm bore yields 528 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. Conversely, scaling up to a 63 mm bore provides 1402 N of pull force for heavier payloads. Since the 280 mm stroke exceeds 300 mm is not met here, standard mounting guidance applies, but always ensure adequate guidance for long unsupported loads.
This cylinder uses a PT tapered port thread and supports the reduced SAIJ mounting set: Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, omitting the FB, CA, CB, and CR options. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552. Without the -S magnet option specified, it will not support AirTAC CMSE or DMSE position sensors.
Quick checklist
At a 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 delivers up to 200 kgf.
The rear adjuster screw lets you shorten the effective travel from the nominal 280 mm down to 270 mm, creating a 270-280 mm adjustable window. This stopper only sets the travel end and decelerates the piston; it does not lock or hold the load without live air pressure.
