The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ50 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ50BX400-40 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 400mm 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 SAIJ50X400-40 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that allows you to fine-tune the effective travel within a 360-400 mm window. Delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it is built with a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance and uses PT tapered port threads. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for flexible switch placement.
Because the rear screw acts as a travel stop rather than a lock, the cylinder requires live air to maintain its position during operation. You can fine-tune the end position at commissioning without swapping the cylinder or bolting on external stops. The standard air cushion at both ends handles deceleration, while the 20 mm rod thread provides robust mounting for moderate side loads.

Dial in the 360-400 mm travel window during line changeovers to accommodate different product lengths without replacing the actuator.
Fine-tune the retract stop during machine commissioning to achieve exact positioning without adding external mechanical stops.
Adjust the stroke on the fly for sorting or diverting items of varying dimensions on a conveyor system.
Choose this 50 mm bore when you need 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa, stepping up from a 40 mm bore (628 N) or down from a 63 mm bore (1559 N). An adjustable stroke is ideal for machine setups requiring variable end-stops or product-size changeovers, giving you precise control that a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder cannot provide. For a direct ISO 15552 replacement match, verify the 400 mm stroke, 40 mm adjustment, PT port threads, and required mounting style.
With a 400 mm stroke, the unsupported rod extension increases the risk of side-loading; ensure you use an external guide to prevent premature seal wear. Remember that the rear adjuster only sets the travel end and does not hold the load without continuous air pressure. If your application requires true load-holding without live air, consider an AirTAC SAIL or BSAI cylinder instead. This model supports a speed range of 30-800 mm/s.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, this 50 mm bore cylinder provides 982 N of push force and 825 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 1374 N.
The rear adjuster screw allows you to shorten the 400 mm nominal stroke by up to 40 mm, providing a usable travel window of 360-400 mm. It functions as a mechanical stop and does not lock the load without live air pressure.
