The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ50 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ50BX40-40S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 40mm 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 SAIJ50X40-40-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that creates a usable travel window of 0 to 40 mm. It delivers 982 N of push thrust at 0.5 MPa and 1374 N at 0.7 MPa, making it a robust choice for mid-range actuation. The integrated -S magnet enables position sensing with CMSE reed and DMSE electronic switches.
This variant uses a SUS304 stainless steel rod (code B) for superior corrosion resistance in demanding environments. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, and the rear stopper allows you to fine-tune the end position at commissioning without adding external stops. Fluid supply connects via PT G1/4 tapered ports.

Dial in the 0-40 mm travel window during product size changes on a packaging line without swapping out the entire actuator.
Fine-tune the retract position during commissioning to dial out mechanical play and achieve exact positioning.
Leverage the SUS304 stainless steel rod for reliable pushing force in washdown or chemical processing areas.
Select 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) or down from a 63 mm bore (1559 N). The adjustable stroke is ideal for machine setups needing variable end-stops, whereas a fixed SAI cylinder locks you to a single 40 mm travel. The rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop and does not hold the load without live air; for true load-holding, consider an external rod lock or the SAIL series.
To match this ISO 15552 replacement exactly, specify: 50 mm bore, 40 mm nominal stroke, 40 mm adjustment range, PT G1/4 ports, SUS304 rod material, and the -S magnet option. The mounting interface supports Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 accessories.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it provides 982 N of push force and 825 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 1374 N.
The nominal stroke is 40 mm, but the rear mechanical stopper allows you to trim the effective travel back by up to 40 mm, yielding a usable 0-40 mm window. This adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock, so it will not hold the load without live air pressure.
