The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ50 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ50BX450-20 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 450mm 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 SAIJ50X450-20 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that allows you to trim the effective travel back by up to 20 mm. This creates a usable stroke window of 430 to 450 mm, letting you dial in the exact end position during commissioning without swapping out the unit or adding external stops. It delivers 982 N of push thrust at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for medium-force handling tasks.
This specific SKU is configured with a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance and includes PT tapered port threads. The extruded aluminum barrel features sensor grooves on both sides for direct mounting of position switches. Note that the rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical travel stop for deceleration and positioning; it does not hold the load without live air pressure, so applications requiring true fail-safe holding should utilize a SAIL or BSAI series cylinder instead.

Fine-tune the 430-450 mm travel window during product size changeovers to set precise end positions without machining new hard stops.
Adjust the retract position on the fly for conveyor sorting tasks where the physical stopping point must match varying package dimensions.
Leverage the SUS304 stainless steel rod for medium-force clamping or positioning in environments where standard carbon steel rods would rust.
Choose this 50 mm bore when your application requires around 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, stepping up from a 40 mm bore that provides 628 N, or down from a 63 mm bore offering 1559 N. The adjustable stroke is specifically beneficial for machine setups requiring variable end-stops or fine-tuning during product changeovers, rather than relying on a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder. Because the nominal stroke is 450 mm, an external guide is recommended to prevent excessive side-loading on the rod and thread.
To achieve a true ISO 15552 replacement match, verify the 50 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, 20 mm adjustment range, PT G1/4 port, and the required mounting interface. The SAIJ mounting set includes Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 options, deliberately omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR brackets. This model uses a SUS304 stainless steel rod and does not include a magnet for sensors.
Quick checklist
At a 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 50 mm bore cylinder provides 982 N of push force and 825 N of pull force. At the maximum 1.0 MPa pressure, it can deliver up to 200 kgf of push force.
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop that lets you shorten the nominal 450 mm stroke by up to 20 mm, providing a usable travel window of 430 to 450 mm. It is a travel stop for end-position tuning, not a lock, and will not hold the load without live air pressure.
