The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ50 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ50BX100-40 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 100mm 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 SAIJ50X100-40 is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It provides a 100 mm nominal stroke that can be dialed back by up to 40 mm, creating a precise 60-100 mm usable travel window for exact end-position tuning at commissioning. Delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it fits perfectly into mid-range pneumatic setups.
This variant features a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance and uses PT tapered port threads with a G1/4 connection. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, allowing you to add CMSE reed or DMSE electronic switches later if positioning feedback becomes necessary.

Dial in the exact 60-100 mm travel distance during machine commissioning to perfect part ejection without adding external mechanical stops.
Quickly adjust the cylinder's stroke on the fly to accommodate varying package sizes on a single production line.
Leverage the SUS304 stainless steel rod for reliable actuation in washdown or mildly corrosive manufacturing environments.
Choose this 50 mm bore when an application requires around 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa; stepping down to a 40 mm bore drops that output to 628 N, while an 80 mm bore jumps to 2513 N. The adjustable 60-100 mm travel window is ideal for machine setups requiring variable end stops or product-size changeovers without swapping cylinders. For a direct ISO 15552 replacement match, ensure you specify the 100 mm stroke, 40 mm adjustment, PT port thread, and the SUS304 (B) rod material.
Because the nominal stroke is 100 mm, side-load risks are minimal, but always guide the load externally for optimal seal life. Remember that the rear adjuster acts only as a travel stop and does not hold the load without live air; for true pneumatic locking without pressure, consider the AirTAC SAIL or BSAI series instead.
Quick checklist
At a 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 50 mm bore cylinder provides 982 N of push force and 825 N of pull force. If you increase the pressure to 0.7 MPa, the push force rises to 1374 N.
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop, allowing you to shorten the 100 mm nominal stroke by up to 40 mm. This creates a 60-100 mm usable travel window for fine-tuning the retract end position without replacing the cylinder.
