The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ50 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ50AX550-75S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 550mm 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 SAIJ50X550-75-S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It delivers a 982N push force at 0.5MPa and provides a usable travel window of 475-550mm, letting you trim up to 75mm off the 550mm nominal stroke during machine setup. The extruded aluminum barrel features sensor grooves on both sides for direct mounting of position switches.
This unit includes a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (option A) for improved corrosion resistance and uses PT tapered port threads. Because the stroke is 550mm, the 20mm piston rod and M16x1.5 thread require external guiding to prevent excessive side-loading on the seals. The rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop to set the end position and does not hold the load without live air pressure.

Dial in the exact retract distance between 475 and 550mm during commissioning without adding external physical stops to the machine bed.
Quickly adapt the stroke length on packaging lines when running different package lengths, using the 75mm adjustment range to accommodate new formats.
Utilize the 982N force over a 550mm travel to drive long-stroke assembly operations, fine-tuning the final lower position via the rear screw.
Choose this 50mm bore if your application needs the 982N push force at 0.5MPa but requires an adjustable end-stop for product changeovers, avoiding the need to physically swap a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder. If your process demands less force, stepping down to a 40mm bore yields 628N; if you need more clamping power, stepping up to a 63mm bore provides 1559N.
When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 50mm bore, 550mm stroke, 75mm adjustment range, PT port threads, and the -S magnet option. For any stroke of 300mm or more, such as this 550mm travel, always support the load with an external guide rail to prevent rod deflection. To hold a load securely without continuous air pressure, select a SAIL locking cylinder or an external rod lock, as the SAIJ adjuster only decelerates travel and cannot hold position.
Quick checklist
The rear of the cylinder features an external adjusting screw that acts as a mechanical stopper. It allows you to shorten the effective stroke by up to 75mm, giving you a usable travel window of 475-550mm without changing the cylinder's physical mounting.
At 0.5MPa operating pressure, it generates a push force of 982N and a pull force of 825N. The standard operating speed range for this bore size is 30-800mm/s, depending on the load and air flow.
