The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ50 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ50AX40-20 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 40mm 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 SAIJ50X40-20 is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It features a 40 mm nominal stroke that can be fine-tuned down by up to 20 mm, creating a highly flexible 20-40 mm usable travel window. Delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it is built with a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod and PT tapered ports.
This adjustable-stop design allows you to dial in the exact retract end position during commissioning without swapping hardware. The rear screw acts purely as a travel stop and works alongside the standard variable air cushions to decelerate the load; it does not hold the load without live air. For load-holding requirements, consider the SAIL or BSAI series instead.

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 adjust the 20-40 mm travel window to accommodate slight variations in part sizes on a manufacturing line without changing the cylinder.
Fine-tune the retract stop during machine setup to achieve exact positioning, preventing hard mechanical crashes.
Ideal for clamping delicate components where the 982 N force and a precisely dialed-back stroke prevent over-travel damage.
Choose this 50 mm bore when you need more thrust than the 40 mm version (628 N push at 0.5 MPa) but want a compact footprint. The adjustable 20-40 mm travel window is perfect for applications requiring variable end stops during product changeovers, eliminating the need to bolt on external stops or buy a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552.
When ordering, confirm the 50 mm bore, 40 mm stroke, 20 mm adjustment, PT ports, and SUS420J2 rod material. Mounting options include Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. Since it lacks a magnet, it does not support CMSE or DMSE sensors without modification.
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. It can reach up to 1767 N push force at 0.7 MPa.
The rear adjuster screw allows you to shorten the 40 mm nominal stroke by up to 20 mm, providing a usable travel window of 20 to 40 mm. The adjuster acts as a mechanical stop and does not lock the load without air pressure.
