The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ50 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ50BX550-30 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 550mm 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 SAIJ50X550-30 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, allowing you to dial back the nominal 550 mm travel by up to 30 mm for a precise 520-550 mm usable window. Delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it handles mid-range automation tasks with ease. The extruded aluminum barrel features sensor grooves on both sides for flexible switch placement.
This specific configuration utilizes a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance and features PT tapered port threads. Because the 550 mm stroke is relatively long, the 16 mm rod diameter should be paired with an external guide to prevent excessive side-loading. The rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop for end-position tuning, not a load-holding lock.

Quickly fine-tune the 520-550 mm end-stop during format size changes on packaging lines without changing the cylinder.
Dial in the exact retraction point for diverter gates handling varying package lengths on a conveyor system.
Precisely set the rear stopper during commissioning to perfect tooling alignment without adding external shims.
Choose this 50 mm bore when you need more force than a 40 mm cylinder (528 N pull at 0.5 MPa) but want a smaller footprint than a 63 mm unit (1402 N pull). The 30 mm adjustment range is ideal for machine setups requiring variable end-stops during product changeovers, eliminating the need to physically swap cylinders or bolt on external stops. For true load-holding without continuous live air pressure, consider an AirTAC SAIL or BSAI cylinder instead of relying on the adjuster.
When matching this ISO 15552 interchangeable cylinder, verify the 550 mm stroke, 30 mm adjustment range, PT port threads, and your required mounting style. SAIJ supports a specific mounting subset: Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 (omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR). As the stroke exceeds 300 mm, ensure your mounting configuration properly supports the rod to mitigate deflection and side-load wear.
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 reach up to 1767 N push force at 0.7 MPa.
The rear mechanical screw allows you to shorten the 550 mm nominal stroke by up to 30 mm, creating a 520-550 mm travel window. It functions as a hard stop for position tuning and does not lock the load without air pressure.
