The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ50 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ50AX70-40 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 70mm 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 SAIJ50X70-40 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster. It provides a nominal 70 mm stroke that can be dialed back by up to 40 mm, creating a precise 30-70 mm usable travel window for commissioning without external stops. Delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it fits perfectly into mid-range pneumatic setups.
This variant uses a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (code A) for enhanced durability against side loads and features PT tapered port threads. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, allowing for direct mounting of AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic switches. It supports the standard SAIJ mounting set, including Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.

Dial in the exact end position from 30 to 70 mm during machine setup, accommodating different product sizes on the same line without physically swapping cylinders.
Fine-tune the retract stop during commissioning to perfect the seating of parts, eliminating the need to bolt on external mechanical stops.
Adjust the travel window on the fly for conveyor sorting gates that need to handle varying package dimensions dynamically.
Select this 50 mm bore when an application requires 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, or 1374 N at 0.7 MPa, making it a solid step up from the 40 mm bore which provides 628 N. The 40 mm adjustment range is highly valuable here, effectively allowing you to trim more than half of the nominal stroke. This makes it ideal for product changeovers where the exact end-of-stroke position varies significantly, replacing the need to swap out a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder.
Remember that the rear adjuster functions only as a travel stop and does not hold the load without live air pressure; for true load-holding, consider the SAIL or BSAI series. To match this cylinder exactly for an ISO 15552 replacement, specify the 50 mm bore, 70 mm stroke, 40 mm adjustment, PT G1/4 port, SUS420J2 rod material, and no magnet.
Quick checklist
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop that lets you shorten the effective travel from the nominal 70 mm down to as little as 30 mm, providing a 40 mm adjustment window. It sets the end position but does not lock or hold the load without continuous air pressure.
At 0.5 MPa, it provides 982 N of push force and 825 N of pull force. If you increase the operating pressure to 0.7 MPa, the push force rises to 1374 N.
