The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ50 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ50BX135-40S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 135mm 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 SAIJ50X135-40-S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It provides a nominal 135 mm stroke that can be fine-tuned backward by up to 40 mm, yielding a usable travel window of 95-135 mm to perfectly dial in end positions during commissioning. Delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it bridges the gap between lighter 40 mm bores and heavier 63 mm units.
This specific SKU is built with a SUS304 stainless steel rod (code B) for superior corrosion resistance and ships with a magnet (-S) for position sensing. The extruded aluminum barrel features sensor grooves on both sides, directly accepting AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic solid-state switches. It uses PT tapered ports and offers the standard SAIJ mounting set, including Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.

Fine-tune the 95-135 mm stroke on the fly during product size transitions without swapping out the entire cylinder assembly.
Dial in the exact retraction point during commissioning using the rear screw, avoiding the need for external mechanical stops.
Leverage the SUS304 stainless steel rod and 982 N force for reliable actuation in washdown or mildly corrosive manufacturing environments.
Select this 50 mm bore when an application requires approximately 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, stepping up from the 40 mm bore (628 N) without the bulk of a 63 mm cylinder (1559 N). The adjustable 95-135 mm travel window is ideal for machine setups requiring variable end stops or frequent product-size changeovers, eliminating the need to physically swap cylinders or bolt on external stoppers. To replace an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 50 mm bore, 135 mm stroke, 40 mm adjustment, PT G1/4 port, and the -S magnet requirement.
Because the nominal stroke is 135 mm, side-loading is less severe than on longer strokes, but an external guide is still recommended for heavy off-center loads. Remember that the rear adjuster acts strictly as a travel stop, not a lock; the SAIJ cannot hold a load without live air pressure. For true load-holding, consider the SAIL or BSAI series instead.
Quick checklist
At a 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 50 mm bore cylinder generates 982 N of push force and 825 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 1374 N.
The rear adjuster screw allows you to shorten the effective travel by up to 40 mm from the 135 mm nominal stroke, creating a 95-135 mm usable window. It acts as a mechanical stop and does not lock the load without live air.
