The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ50 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ50AX425-50 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 425mm 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 SAIJ50X425-50 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that allows you to trim the effective travel back by up to 50 mm. This creates a usable 375-425 mm stroke window, enabling precise end-position tuning at commissioning without swapping the barrel or adding external stops. It delivers 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa.
This variant features a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (code A) for improved corrosion resistance and uses PT tapered port threads. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, though this specific SKU is supplied without a magnet. The rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop to set the travel end and does not hold the load without live air pressure.

Dial in the exact retract distance within the 375-425 mm window during product size changes on a packaging line without replacing the cylinder.
Fine-tune the final resting position at commissioning using the rear stopper, compensating for mechanical tolerance stack-ups in the fixture.
Use the built-in stroke adjustment to set variable retract limits for multi-product tooling setups, eliminating the need for bolt-on external stops.
Choose this 50 mm bore when your application requires the 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa. If your setup demands less force, the 40 mm bore offers 628 N; if you need more clamping power, stepping up to the 63 mm bore provides 1559 N. An adjustable stroke is selected over a fixed SAI model when machine changeovers require variable end stops or fine-tuning of the retract position. For load-holding without live pressure, this cylinder is insufficient as the adjuster is not a lock; consider an AirTAC SAIL or BSAI model instead.
When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, match these exact attributes: 50 mm bore, 425 mm stroke, 50 mm adjustment range, PT port threads, and no magnet. Because the 425 mm stroke is long, the 20 mm rod diameter and M16x1.5 thread will carry some side load, but an external guide is strongly recommended for any unsupported length to prevent premature seal wear.
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. At the maximum 1.0 MPa pressure, it can deliver up to 200 kgf.
The rear adjusting screw acts as a mechanical stop, allowing you to shorten the 425 mm nominal stroke by up to 50 mm. This creates a usable travel window of 375-425 mm so you can fine-tune the end position without changing the cylinder.
