The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ50 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ50BX270-20 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 270mm 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 SAIJ50X270-20 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster. It provides a nominal 270 mm stroke that can be fine-tuned down by up to 20 mm, giving you a precise 250-270 mm usable travel window during commissioning. Delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it handles mid-range automation tasks with ease.
This variant features a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance and uses PT tapered port threads with a G1/4 connection. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, allowing you to add CMSE or DMSE switches later if positioning feedback becomes necessary.

Dial in the 250-270 mm travel window on packaging lines to accommodate different carton sizes without changing cylinders.
Fine-tune the retract stop during machine setup to perfect seating pressure without adding bulky external stops.
Vary the stroke length on a diverter arm to route different product widths accurately down the line.
Choose this 50 mm bore when you need more power than a 40 mm cylinder (which provides 628 N push at 0.5 MPa) but want to avoid the bulk of a 63 mm unit. The adjustable stroke is perfect for applications requiring variable end-stops or product changeovers, saving you from swapping out a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder or adding external mechanical stops.
Because the 270 mm stroke is moderately long, ensure adequate external guiding to prevent excessive side-loading on the SUS304 rod. Remember that the rear adjuster acts only as a travel stop and does not hold the load without live air; for fail-safe load holding, consider an AirTAC SAIL or BSAI cylinder. To match this ISO 15552 replacement exactly, specify the 50 mm bore, 270 mm stroke, 20 mm adjustment, PT port, and your required mounting style from the SAIJ set (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2).
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. If you increase the pressure to 0.7 MPa, the push force rises to 1374 N.
The rear adjuster screw allows you to shorten the effective travel from the nominal 270 mm down to 250 mm. This creates a 250-270 mm usable window for fine-tuning the end position at commissioning, but it acts only as a stop and does not lock the load without air pressure.
