The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ50 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ50BX500-50 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 500mm 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 SAIJ50X500-50 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that creates a 450-500mm usable travel window. Delivering 982N of push thrust at 0.5 MPa, it handles robust linear motion. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for flexible switch placement.
This unit uses a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance and features PT tapered port threads. The rear mechanical stopper allows precise end-position tuning during commissioning without adding external stops. Remember the adjuster only sets the travel end; it does not function as a lock to hold the load without live air pressure.

Dial in the exact 450-500mm end-stop during initial machine commissioning to perfectly position a large workpiece without machining custom spacers.
Quickly adjust the stroke length on a packaging line when switching to a different box size, saving minutes of reconfiguration time per shift.
Set precise retraction points for automated assembly presses, allowing operators to tweak the travel limit as tooling wear occurs over time.
Select this 50mm bore cylinder when an application requires 982N push force at 0.5 MPa and exact end-position dialing. The 50mm adjustment range is ideal for product changeovers. If your setup needs less force, the 40mm bore provides 628N. For higher loads, the 63mm bore yields 1559N. Because the 500mm stroke is long, an external guide is recommended to prevent excessive side loading on the rod.
This model is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552. To match this replacement exactly, verify the 50mm bore, 500mm stroke, 50mm adjustment range, PT G1/4 port, and the SUS304 rod material. It supports the reduced SAIJ mounting set: Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. For load-holding without live pressure, consider an AirTAC SAIL or BSAI cylinder instead.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 50mm bore cylinder provides 982N of push thrust and 825N of pull thrust. At the maximum 1.0 MPa pressure, it can deliver up to 200 kgf.
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop, letting you shorten the 500mm nominal stroke by up to 50mm, creating a 450-500mm travel window. It only sets the end position and does not lock the load without live air.
