The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ50 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ50BX165-100S 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-S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster. It provides a broad usable travel window of 65 to 165 mm, enabling precise end-position tuning during commissioning without swapping out the barrel or adding external stops. It delivers 982N of push force and 825N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, fitting neatly into the mid-range thrust class.
This specific configuration features a SUS304 stainless steel rod (code B) for superior corrosion resistance and a PT tapered port thread. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, and because this unit includes a magnet (-S), it directly supports AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE solid-state electronic switches. The rear adjuster acts purely as a travel stop for deceleration and does not hold the load without live air pressure.

Dial in the exact retract position between 65 and 165 mm during machine setup, avoiding the need to physically swap cylinders or bolt on external mechanical stops for different jigs.
Quickly adapt a packaging line to varying carton lengths by turning the rear adjuster, shifting the end-of-stroke position to match new product dimensions without changing the pneumatic footprint.
Leverage the SUS304 stainless steel rod for light assembly and pressing tasks in washdown or chemical-adjacent environments where carbon steel rods would degrade.
Choose this 50mm bore when a 40mm bore (offering 628N push at 0.5 MPa) is too weak, but a 63mm bore (1559N push) would overcomplicate your footprint and energy use. The 100mm adjustment range is ideal for machines running multiple product sizes, letting you dial back the stroke by up to 100mm on the fly. For load-holding without continuous air pressure, this cylinder is not a lock; you would need to step up to an SAIL (air-released lock) or BSAI (clamp-lock) variant, or use an external pilot-operated check valve. When matching an ISO 15552 replacement, verify the 50mm bore, 165mm stroke, 100mm adjuster, PT port, Basic/FA/LB/TC/FTC/TCM1/TCM2 mounting set, and the -S magnet requirement.
Quick checklist
The rear adjusting screw acts as an external stopper, allowing you to shorten the effective stroke by up to 100 mm. This creates a usable travel window of 65 to 165 mm. The adjuster only sets the travel end and provides deceleration; it does not lock or hold the load without live air pressure.
At a standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the SAIJ50X165-100-S generates 982N of push force and 825N of pull force. If you increase the pressure to 0.7 MPa, the push force rises to 1374N.
