The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ50 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ50AX290-40S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 290mm 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 SAIJ50X290-40-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster, allowing you to fine-tune the effective travel down from 290 mm to a 250-290 mm window during commissioning. It delivers a robust 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for moderate-load positioning tasks.
This SKU ships with a SUS420J2 stainless steel piston rod (code A) for enhanced corrosion resistance and includes a magnet (-S) for direct compatibility with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors. The extruded aluminum barrel integrates sensor grooves on both sides, and the rear adjuster acts purely as a travel stop to dial in end positions without adding external stops.

Dial in the 250-290 mm travel window during product size changes without physically swapping out the entire cylinder assembly.
Use the rear stopper to precisely set the retract distance, hitting a target location while the air cushion manages deceleration.
Accommodate varying package sizes on a line by adjusting the effective stroke back by up to 40 mm as needed.
Choose this 50 mm bore when a 40 mm bore falls short of the 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa, but you want to avoid the larger footprint of a 63 mm unit. The adjustable stroke is ideal for product changeovers where the end-stop needs slight trimming rather than swapping a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder. Because the rear adjuster and air cushions only decelerate the load, this plain SAIJ cannot hold position without live air; for true load-holding, select an SAIL or BSAI model. At 290 mm stroke, the 20 mm piston rod and M16x1.5 thread handle moderate side loads, but long unsupported strokes still require an external guide. To match this ISO 15552 replacement, verify the 290 mm stroke, 40 mm adjuster, PT tapered port, and -S magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, this 50 mm bore cylinder provides 982 N of push force and 825 N of pull force. At the maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa, it delivers up to 200 kgf.
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop, allowing you to shorten the 290 mm nominal stroke by up to 40 mm, creating a usable travel window of 250-290 mm. It sets the end position but does not lock the load without live air pressure.
