The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ50 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ50BX180-20S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 180mm 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 SAIJ50X180-20-S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It provides a 160-180 mm usable travel window, letting you dial back the 180 mm nominal stroke by up to 20 mm during commissioning. Delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it fits medium-duty tasks perfectly.
This variant features a SUS304 stainless steel rod (option B) for superior corrosion resistance and uses PT tapered port threading. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, and the integrated magnet supports CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors for precise position feedback.

Dial in the exact end-position during machine setup for new product sizes, trimming the stroke within the 160-180 mm window without adding external stopper blocks.
Leverage the 982 N push force and SUS304 stainless steel rod for reliable clamping in environments where standard carbon steel rods would rust.
Fine-tune the travel end on automated assembly lines, using the DMSE electronic sensors to confirm the adjusted end-position for precise component placement.
Choose this 50 mm bore when an application requires 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, stepping up from a 40 mm bore (628 N) for heavier clamping or stepping down from a 63 mm bore (1559 N) to save space. The 20 mm rear adjuster is selected over a fixed SAI cylinder when you need variable end-stops for product changeovers without swapping components. Because the stroke is 180 mm, side-load risks are manageable, but an external guide is recommended for heavy lateral loads. For load-holding without live air pressure, use an SAIL or BSAI cylinder, as this adjuster is a stop, not a lock. To match this ISO 15552 replacement exactly, verify the 180 mm stroke, 20 mm adjustment, PT G1/4 port, and the -S magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 50 mm bore cylinder provides 982 N of push force and 825 N of pull force. It can reach up to 1767 N push force at 0.9 MPa.
The rear adjuster acts as a mechanical stop that lets you shorten the 180 mm nominal stroke by up to 20 mm, creating a 160-180 mm usable travel window. It only sets the end position and does not lock the load without live air pressure.
