The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ50 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ50AX450-100 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 450mm 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 SAIJ50X450-100 is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It provides a 982N push force at 0.5 MPa and features a PT tapered port thread alongside a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod. The built-in rear stopper allows you to trim the nominal 450mm travel back by up to 100mm, creating a highly flexible 350-450mm usable stroke window.
This adjustable design eliminates the need to swap cylinders or bolt on external stops during machine commissioning or product changeovers. It retains the standard extruded aluminum barrel with sensor grooves on both sides, but utilizes a reduced mounting subset (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2) omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR. Remember that the rear adjuster acts only as a travel stop and deceleration aid, not a lock; it cannot hold a load without live air pressure.

Dial in the exact 350-450mm travel distance during machine commissioning to accommodate different product sizes without physically replacing the cylinder.
Quickly shorten the retract stroke by up to 100mm when switching a production line to a new format, saving downtime on external mechanical stop adjustments.
Fine-tune the diverter arm endpoint on packaging lines to handle varying carton widths precisely using the rear stopper screw.
Choose this 50mm bore cylinder when your application requires a 982N push force at 0.5 MPa (or 1374N at 0.7 MPa) combined with a variable end-stop. If your process needs less force, the 40mm bore offers 628N at 0.5 MPa, whereas heavier loads might require the 63mm bore providing 1559N. The 100mm adjustment range is perfect for setups requiring frequent fine-tuning of the end position without changing hardware.
Because this 450mm stroke is relatively long, the 20mm diameter rod and M16x1.5 thread will experience greater side loads; an external guide is recommended to prevent premature wear. To replace this unit, match the 50mm bore, 450mm stroke, 100mm adjustment, PT port thread, SUS420J2 rod material, and the specified mounting style. For load-holding requirements without live pressure, consider the SAIL or BSAI series instead, as this adjuster is not a brake.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it provides a 982N push force and 825N pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 1374N. The operational speed range is 30-800 mm/s.
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop that lets you shorten the effective stroke from its nominal 450mm down to 350mm. It sets the travel end and deceleration point but does not lock the load without live air pressure.
