The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ50 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ50BX425-50 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 SAIJ50X425-50 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster. It provides a 425 mm nominal stroke that can be dialed back by up to 50 mm, yielding a precise 375-425 mm usable travel window for exact end-position tuning during commissioning. At 0.5 MPa, it delivers 982 N of push force and 825 N of pull force.
This unit is built with a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance and includes sensor grooves on both sides of the extruded aluminum barrel. It uses PT tapered G1/4 ports and operates at speeds between 30 and 800 mm/s. The rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop to set the retract end, meaning it cannot hold a load without live air pressure.

Dial the stroke back by up to 50 mm to quickly adapt machinery for different package lengths without replacing the cylinder.
Fine-tune the retract position within the 375-425 mm window to precisely align pushers with changing conveyor lane widths.
Use the rear stopper to micro-adjust the end of travel during machine setup, avoiding the need for external shims.
Choose this 50 mm bore when a 40 mm bore (628 N push at 0.5 MPa) lacks sufficient thrust, but a 63 mm bore (1559 N push) is oversized. An adjustable stroke is selected over a fixed SAI when a machine requires variable end-stops to accommodate product changeovers without physically swapping the cylinder. For load-holding without continuous air pressure, this cylinder is inadequate since the adjuster is a stop not a lock; you should explore an AirTAC SAIL or BSAI series instead.
Because the 425 mm stroke exceeds 300 mm, an external guide is recommended to prevent excessive side-loading on the SUS304 piston rod. To achieve a direct ISO 15552 replacement match, ensure your specifications align with a 50 mm bore, 425 mm stroke, 50 mm adjustment range, PT G1/4 ports, and the Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2 mounting set (omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR).
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. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 1374 N.
The rear mechanical stopper allows you to shorten the 425 mm nominal stroke by up to 50 mm, creating a usable travel window of 375-425 mm. This adjuster only sets the end position and does not lock or hold the load without live air pressure.
