The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ50 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ50BX290-10S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 290mm 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 SAIJ50X290-10-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster. It provides a usable travel window of 280-290 mm, allowing you to dial in the retract end-position precisely during commissioning. Delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (and up to 1767 N at 0.9 MPa), it handles mid-range actuation tasks with ease.
This variant includes a SUS304 stainless steel rod (option B) for superior corrosion resistance and a magnetic piston for position sensing. The extruded aluminum barrel integrates dual sensor grooves compatible with CMSE reed and DMSE electronic switches. The rear adjuster acts purely as a travel stop to fine-tune deceleration, not as a lock.

Quickly adjust the 280-290 mm travel window to accommodate slightly different product lengths on the same conveyor line without changing cylinders.
Fine-tune the retract position during machine setup to ensure precise mechanical alignment without fabricating custom external spacers.
Dial in the exact 10 mm adjustment range for laboratory or testing equipment where stroke endpoints must be micro-adjusted between runs.
Select this 50 mm bore cylinder when you need 982 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa but require exact end-position tuning without adding external stops. If your application needs less force, the 40 mm bore offers 628 N; for heavier loads, the 63 mm bore provides 1559 N. The adjustable rear screw is perfect for product changeovers on a shared machine base.
Because the 290 mm stroke is over 300 mm when fully extended, ensure you use an external guide to prevent excessive side-loading on the M16x1.5 rod thread. This cylinder uses PT tapered ports and supports SAIJ mounting options Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. For applications requiring load-holding without live air pressure, consider the SAIL or BSAI series instead.
Quick checklist
The rear adjuster allows you to shorten the nominal 290 mm stroke by up to 10 mm, creating a 280-290 mm usable travel window. It functions as a mechanical stop to fine-tune the end position and deceleration, but it does not lock or hold the load without continuous air pressure.
At 0.5 MPa, the SAIJ50X290-10-S provides 982 N of push force and 825 N of pull force. At 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 1767 N.
