The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ50 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ50BX140-40 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 140mm 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 SAIJ50X140-40 is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster. It provides a nominal 140 mm stroke that can be fine-tuned backward by up to 40 mm, creating a 100-140 mm usable travel window for precise end-position calibration. Delivering 982 N of push thrust at 0.5 MPa, it is built with a SUS304 stainless steel rod (option B) for superior corrosion resistance.
This extruded aluminum profile barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for flexible switch mounting, though this specific SKU is configured without a magnet. Air enters via PT tapered port threads (G1/4), and the unit relies on variable air cushions at both ends to decelerate the load. The rear stopper mechanism sets the travel end without locking the load, meaning live air pressure is required to hold position.

Dial in the exact 100-140 mm travel distance during commissioning without adding external physical stops to the machine frame.
Quickly adjust the retract end-position by up to 40 mm to accommodate varying product sizes on a single conveyor line.
Leverage the SUS304 stainless steel rod option for light-duty pressing or positioning tasks in washdown or mildly corrosive environments.
Choose this 50 mm bore cylinder when an application requires 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (or 1374 N at 0.7 MPa). If your setup demands less force, stepping down to a 40 mm bore yields 628 N at 0.5 MPa, while a 63 mm bore provides 1559 N for heavier loads. The 40 mm adjustment range is ideal for machine setups requiring variable end stops during product changeovers, avoiding the need to physically swap out a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder.
For dimensionally interchangeable ISO 15552 replacements, match the 50 mm bore, 140 mm stroke, PT port thread, and the SAIJ mounting set (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2). Because this unit lacks a piston magnet, it cannot host CMSE or DMSE sensors. If position holding without live air pressure is required, consider the SAIL or BSAI series, as this rear adjuster acts only as a travel stop, not a brake.
Quick checklist
It features a rear external adjusting screw that allows you to shorten the effective stroke by up to 40 mm. This creates a usable travel window of 100 to 140 mm, letting you fine-tune the retract end position at commissioning without swapping the cylinder.
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, it provides 982 N of push force and 825 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 1374 N.
