The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ50 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ50BX165-100 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 165mm 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 SAIJ50X165-100 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that trims the nominal 165 mm travel back by up to 100 mm, yielding a usable window of 65 to 165 mm. Built with a SUS304 stainless steel rod and PT tapered ports, it delivers 982 N of push force and 825 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. This bore size uses a 20 mm rod and M16x1.5 thread, providing a robust interface that handles moderate side loads well.
Unlike a fixed-stroke SAI, this adjustable variant lets you dial in the exact retract end-position during commissioning or product changeovers without swapping the cylinder or adding external stops. The rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical travel stop to set the end position and works alongside the variable air cushions at both ends; it is not a lock and cannot hold a load without live air pressure. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for adding CMSE reed or DMSE electronic switches if needed.

Dial in the retract position from 65 to 165 mm during machine commissioning to hit the exact stroke needed for a new fixture without machining new spacers.
Quickly adjust the travel window on a packaging line when switching to a different carton size, using the 100 mm trim range to accommodate varying product lengths.
Fine-tune the clamping reach on an assembly press by turning the rear adjuster, ensuring the 982 N force is applied at the precise depth required.
Choose this 50 mm bore when your application requires the 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa, stepping up from a 40 mm bore that provides 628 N, or stepping down from a 63 mm bore delivering 1559 N. The 100 mm adjustment range is ideal for machinery that processes varying product sizes, allowing operators to reposition the retract stop quickly. For load-holding without continuous air pressure, this cylinder is insufficient as the adjuster is only a stop; consider the SAIL or BSAI series, or use an external pilot-operated check valve.
As a true ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it is dimensionally interchangeable with other ISO 15552 cylinders. The correct mounting set for this SAIJ model includes Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 (omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR). Because the 165 mm stroke is under the 300 mm threshold, side-load stress is manageable, but long unsupported strokes still require an external guide.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the 50 mm bore provides 982 N of push force and 825 N of pull force. At the maximum 1.0 MPa pressure, it can deliver up to 200 kgf.
The rear adjuster screw mechanically stops the piston before the standard 165 mm end cap, allowing you to shorten the effective travel down to 65 mm. It functions as an end-position stop, not a load-holding lock.
