The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ50 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ50BX280-75 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 280mm 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 SAIJ50X280-75 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster. It delivers 982N of push force and 825N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, with a nominal 280mm stroke that can be dialed back by up to 75mm. This yields a usable travel window of 205-280mm, allowing precise end-position tuning at commissioning without adding external stops. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for direct mounting of CMSE reed or DMSE electronic switches.
This model is configured with a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance and a PT tapered port thread. The 20mm rod diameter and M16x1.5 rod thread provide robust resistance to side loads, though the 280mm stroke length still warrants an external guide for heavy loads. It uses a reduced mounting subset of Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, omitting FB and CA options.

Dial in the exact retract position from 205 to 280mm during machine commissioning to accommodate different product lengths without changing hardware.
Quickly adjust the stroke window on packaging lines when switching between product variants, using the rear screw to set new physical limits.
Achieve precise mechanical end-positioning during automated assembly by trimming the effective stroke to match exact fixture dimensions.
Choose this 50mm bore over a 40mm version when you need to step up thrust from 628N to 982N at 0.5 MPa, or drop down from a 63mm bore (1559N) if your application requires a lighter footprint. The 75mm adjustment range is ideal for product-size changeovers on a line, letting operators fine-tune the retract end without swapping the cylinder. For any stroke of 280mm or more, an external guide is recommended to prevent excessive rod deflection.
The rear adjuster acts strictly as a travel stop and works alongside the standard air cushions to decelerate the load. It does not hold the load without live air pressure. For true load-holding without continuous air, select the SAIL lock or BSAI clamp-lock series instead. This cylinder is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, featuring a PT port thread and no integrated magnet.
Quick checklist
The rear adjusting screw allows you to shorten the effective stroke by up to 75mm. This creates a usable travel window of 205 to 280mm, enabling fine-tuning of the end position at commissioning without replacing the cylinder.
At 0.5 MPa, it provides 982N of push force and 825N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 1374N.
