The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ50 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ50BX55-30S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 55mm 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 SAIJ50X55-30-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, delivering 982N of push force at 0.5 MPa. With a nominal 55mm stroke and a 30mm adjustment range, it provides a highly customizable usable travel window of 25-55mm. This allows precise end-position tuning at commissioning without swapping out the entire cylinder. The extruded aluminum barrel features sensor grooves on both sides, and this configuration includes a SUS304 stainless steel rod and a magnet for position sensing.
Because the rear adjuster acts strictly as a mechanical stop and works alongside the standard air cushions to manage deceleration, it does not hold the load without live air pressure. For applications requiring true load-holding without continuous pressure, consider the SAIL or BSAI variants. This -S model supports AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic solid-state sensors, while the PT tapered ports ensure a secure pneumatic connection.

Quickly dial in the 25-55mm travel window during format changes on packaging lines without adding external stopper blocks.
Fine-tune the retract end-point during machine commissioning to achieve precise seating of components under the 982N thrust.
Leverage the integrated magnet with DMSE electronic sensors to confirm part ejection positions across the adjusted stroke range.
Selecting this 50mm bore cylinder makes sense when you need the 982N push force at 0.5 MPa but require variable end-stops for product changeovers on a line. If your setup only requires 528N of pull force, a 40mm bore might suffice, but stepping up to this 50mm profile provides a stiffer 20mm rod and M16x1.5 thread to better handle side loads. The adjustable stroke is chosen over a fixed SAI cylinder when fine-tuning the retract position is necessary during machine setup. To match this exact ISO 15552 replacement, specify a 50mm bore, 55mm stroke, 30mm adjustment, PT ports, SUS304 (B) rod material, and the -S magnet option.
Since the nominal stroke is 55mm, external guides are less critical than on long-stroke models, but always ensure the load is adequately supported to prevent binding. The SAIJ mounting set includes Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 options, deliberately omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR configurations.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 50mm bore cylinder provides 982N of push force and 825N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 1374N.
The rear adjuster screw allows you to mechanically shorten the effective stroke from its 55mm nominal length down to 25mm, creating a 25-55mm usable travel window. It functions as a stop for end-position tuning and does not lock the load without live air.
