The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ50 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ50AX900-20S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 900mm 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 SAIJ50X900-20-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that dials back the 900mm nominal travel by up to 20mm, creating an 880-900mm usable end-position window. It generates 982N of push thrust and 825N of pull thrust at 0.5 MPa, making it suitable for medium-force tasks. This variant includes a piston magnet for position detection and uses a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (code A) for improved corrosion resistance compared to standard carbon steel.
Equipped with PT tapered ports (G1/4) and variable air cushions at both ends, it safely decelerates loads across its 30-800mm/s speed range. The extruded aluminum barrel integrates sensor grooves on both sides for direct mounting of CMSE reed or DMSE electronic switches. Because the 900mm stroke is long, an external guide is recommended to prevent excessive rod side-loading and premature seal wear.

Dial in the 880-900mm stroke window during product format changes on automated lines, avoiding the need to physically swap out the entire cylinder.
Drives extended conveyor sorting or push-off mechanisms where 900mm of travel is required, using the rear stopper to fine-tune the resting position.
Moves medium-force fixtures along a 900mm path, relying on the DMSE solid-state sensors to confirm the adjusted end-of-stroke location.
Choose this 50mm bore when an application requires 982N of push force at 0.5 MPa, which sits neatly below the 63mm bore (1559N) and above the 40mm bore (628N). An adjustable stroke is preferred over a fixed SAI cylinder when you need to fine-tune the exact end position during commissioning or accommodate minor product size changes without adding external physical stops. To match this ISO 15552 replacement exactly, specify the 50mm bore, 900mm stroke, 20mm adjustment, PT port thread, and the -S magnet option.
Remember that the rear adjuster acts purely as a travel stop to set the 880-900mm window and the air cushions handle deceleration; neither function will hold a load in place without live air pressure. For genuine load-holding requirements without continuous air supply, select an AirTAC SAIL (pneumatic lock) or BSAI (clamp-lock) cylinder instead.
Quick checklist
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop that shortens the 900mm nominal stroke by up to 20mm, providing a usable travel window of 880-900mm. It allows you to fine-tune the end position during setup without changing the cylinder.
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the 50mm bore generates 982N of push force and 825N of pull force. It supports a standard operating speed range of 30-800 mm/s when properly regulated.
