The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ50 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ50BX425-30 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 425mm 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 SAIJ50X425-30 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear mechanical adjuster that allows you to fine-tune the stroke length. With a nominal travel of 425 mm and a 30 mm adjustment range, you get a usable end-position window of 395-425 mm. This bore size delivers 982 N of push force and 825 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for medium-duty handling tasks.
This specific configuration uses a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod (option B) for superior corrosion resistance and features PT tapered port threads. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for flexible mounting of CMSE reed or DMSE electronic solid-state switches. The rear adjuster functions purely as a travel stop for deceleration and positioning; it does not hold the load pneumatically without live air pressure.

Dial in the end-stop up to 30 mm during format changes on a packaging line, avoiding the need to swap physical spacers or cylinders for different carton sizes.
Set precise retract distances for diverters or gates on a conveyor, using the 395-425 mm travel window to adapt to varying product lengths on the fly.
Fine-tune the final approach position of a medium-duty assembly tool at commissioning, using the rear screw to compensate for mechanical tolerances without external stops.
Choose this adjustable-stroke model over a fixed SAI cylinder when your machine setup requires variable end-stops or precise product-changeover tuning without physically swapping out the actuator. If you need higher force, stepping up to a 63 mm bore yields 1559 N at 0.5 MPa; if your load is lighter, a 40 mm bore provides 628 N.
Because the 425 mm stroke is substantial, the 20 mm rod diameter and M16x1.5 rod thread will still experience some deflection under heavy side loads, so an external guide rail is recommended for rigid transport. To replace an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 50 mm bore, 425 mm stroke, 30 mm adjuster, PT G1/4 ports, and your required mounting interface (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2). Note that SAIJ omits the FB, CA, CB, and CR mountings. For fail-safe load holding without live air, select an SAIL or BSAI cylinder instead, as this adjuster is not a lock.
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. It can deliver up to 1767 N of push force at 0.9 MPa.
The rear adjuster acts as an external stopper that shortens the effective stroke by up to 30 mm, giving you a usable travel window of 395-425 mm. It sets the end position but does not lock or hold the load without live air pressure.
