The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ50 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ50AX400-40S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 400mm 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 SAIJ50X400-40-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, enabling a usable travel window of 360 to 400 mm. It delivers 982 N of push force and 825 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for moderate-load positioning tasks. This variant includes a magnet for position sensing and features a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod for enhanced corrosion resistance.
The external adjusting screw acts as a mechanical stop to fine-tune the retract end-position during commissioning or product changeovers without swapping the cylinder. It is important to note that this adjuster and the variable air cushions only decelerate the travel end; neither will hold a load without live air pressure. For load-holding requirements without continuous air, consider the SAIL or BSAI series instead.

Dial in the stroke from 360 to 400 mm during line format changes to accommodate varying package sizes without replacing hardware.
Fine-tune the retract position during machine commissioning using the rear adjuster to achieve exact mechanical spacing.
Adjust the travel end on a sorting diverter arm to handle different product profiles on the fly without adding external stops.
Choose this 50 mm bore model when an application requires a 400 mm stroke that needs precise end-position tuning within a 360-400 mm window. If your process demands higher force, stepping up to the 63 mm bore yields 1559 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Conversely, lighter duties can drop to the 40 mm bore providing 628 N. Because the 400 mm stroke is relatively long, an external guide is recommended to prevent excessive side-load on the rod.
An adjustable-stroke SAIJ is selected over a fixed SAI when machine setups require variable end-stops or product-size changeovers. This specific SKU is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 mounting interfaces and ships configured with a PT tapered port, SUS420J2 rod material, and a magnet (-S) compatible with CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors. Mounting options include 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 force and 825 N of pull force. It can reach up to 1767 N of push force at 0.9 MPa.
The rear adjusting screw acts as a mechanical stop that allows you to trim the effective travel back by up to 40 mm. This creates a usable stroke window of 360 to 400 mm, which can be fine-tuned during commissioning without swapping the cylinder.
