The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ50 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ50AX50-40S 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 SAIJ50X50-40-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, allowing you to dial back the 50 mm nominal travel to a precise 10-50 mm usable window. It delivers 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it a robust choice for mid-range actuation. The extruded aluminum barrel features sensor grooves on both sides, and this -S variant includes a magnet for direct switching via CMSE reed or DMSE solid-state sensors.
This model features a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (code A) for superior corrosion resistance compared to standard carbon steel. The PT tapered port threads are G1/4, and the 20 mm rod diameter with an M16x1.5 thread provides excellent resistance to side loads. The rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop to fine-tune end positions, meaning it will not hold a load without continuous air pressure.

Dial in the exact 10 to 50 mm end-position during a production line size changeover without swapping out the physical cylinder.
Fine-tune the retract stop during commissioning to perfect a 982 N press fit, avoiding the cost of custom external stops.
Adjust the travel window on the fly for testing different sensor trigger points using the integrated CMSE and DMSE switches.
Choose this 50 mm bore when an application requires a variable end-stop within a compact 50 mm stroke, delivering 982 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa. If your setup needs less force, stepping down to a 40 mm bore yields 628 N; if you need more power, a 63 mm bore provides 1559 N. The adjustable stroke is ideal for product-size changeovers on a production line, eliminating the need to physically swap cylinders or bolt on external stops.
When matching an ISO 15552 replacement, verify the 50 mm stroke, 40 mm adjustment range, PT G1/4 port, and the -S magnet requirement. The SAIJ mounting set includes Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 options, deliberately omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR. Because the rear adjuster is a travel stop and not a locking device, use an external pilot-operated check valve or an AirTAC SAIL/BSAI cylinder if the load must be held safely without live air.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, this 50 mm bore cylinder provides 982 N of push force and 825 N of pull force. At the maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa, it delivers up to 200 kgf.
The rear adjusting screw acts as a mechanical stop, allowing you to shorten the 50 mm nominal stroke by up to 40 mm, creating a usable travel window of 10 to 50 mm. It only sets the end position and does not lock or hold the load without live air pressure.
