The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ50 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ50AX50-30 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 50mm 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 SAIJ50X50-30 is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It features a 50mm bore and a 50mm nominal stroke that can be dialed back by up to 30mm, providing a usable travel window of 20-50mm for precise end-position tuning. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 982N of push force and 825N of pull force, making it well-suited for moderate-duty positioning tasks.
This variant features an SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (option A) for enhanced corrosion resistance compared to standard carbon steel. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, ready to accept CMSE reed or DMSE electronic solid-state switches if a magnet is added later. It uses a PT tapered port thread and relies on variable air cushions at both ends to decelerate the piston.

Dial in the exact 20-50mm stroke end-stop during machine setup or product size changeovers without replacing the entire cylinder.
Fine-tune the retract end position on the fly to compensate for mechanical wear or sensor drift in automated assembly lines.
Adjust the effective travel window on packaging equipment where multiple product formats require different stroke lengths.
Choose this 50mm bore adjustable-stroke cylinder when your application requires exact end-position tuning at commissioning or during product changeover without swapping the physical cylinder or adding external stops. If your force requirements are lower, stepping down to a 40mm bore yields 628N of push force at 0.5 MPa; if you need significantly more power, stepping up to a 63mm bore provides 1559N. The 20mm M16x1.5 rod thread handles side loads well, though any long unsupported travel still requires an external guide.
When specifying a replacement, ensure you match the 50mm bore, 50mm stroke, 30mm adjustment range, PT port, and the reduced SAIJ mounting set (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2). Note that the rear adjuster acts only as a travel stop and the air cushions manage deceleration; neither will hold a load without live air pressure. For true fail-safe load holding, consider the SAIL or BSAI series instead.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the SAIJ50X50-30 provides 982N of push force and 825N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 1374N.
The rear adjuster allows you to shorten the 50mm nominal stroke by up to 30mm, creating a usable travel window of 20-50mm. It acts as a mechanical stop to set the end position, but it does not lock or hold the load without continuous air pressure.
