The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ50 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ50AX85-50S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 85mm 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 SAIJ50X85-50-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that allows you to fine-tune the effective travel down to a 35-85 mm window. It delivers 982 N of push thrust at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for moderate-force positioning tasks. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, and this variant is equipped with a magnet for CMSE reed and DMSE electronic switches.
This model uses a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (code A) for improved corrosion resistance and features PT tapered port threads. The rear adjustment mechanism acts purely as a travel stop to dial in end positions during commissioning; it does not function as a lock and will not hold the load without live air pressure. For load-holding requirements without continuous air, consider the SAIL or BSAI series.

Dial in the exact 35-85 mm travel window during machine commissioning to accommodate varying product lengths without swapping cylinders.
Rapidly adjust the retract end-position on packaging lines handling different carton sizes, ensuring precise spacing on the fly.
Fine-tune the stroke limit on a 982 N thrust assembly press to guarantee components are seated to the exact required depth.
Choose this adjustable-stroke model over a fixed SAI when you need to dial in exact end-of-stroke positions during machine setup or product changeovers without adding external stops. If your application requires less force, stepping down to a 40 mm bore yields 628 N of push thrust at 0.5 MPa; if you need more power, stepping up to a 63 mm bore provides 1559 N. To match this exact ISO 15552 replacement, specify a 50 mm bore, 85 mm stroke, 50 mm adjustment, PT ports, SUS420J2 rod, and a magnet (-S). Because the 16 mm rod and M12x1.25 thread handle side loads well, it integrates reliably into standard mounting setups using Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2 brackets.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 50 mm bore cylinder provides 982 N of push thrust and 825 N of pull thrust. At the maximum 1.0 MPa pressure, it can deliver up to 200 kgf.
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop that lets you shorten the nominal 85 mm stroke by up to 50 mm, creating a usable travel window of 35-85 mm. It only sets the end position and does not lock the load without live air pressure.
