The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ50 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ50X170-50 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 170mm 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 SAIJ50X170-50 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that provides a usable travel window of 120 to 170 mm. Delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it fits mid-range applications needing precise end-position tuning during commissioning. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for flexible mounting of CMSE or DMSE switches.
This model features a carbon steel piston rod with an M16x1.5 thread and G1/4 ports. The rear adjustment screw acts strictly as a mechanical stop to trim the retract stroke; it does not lock or hold the load without live air pressure. For load-holding requirements, consider the SAIL or BSAI series instead.

Adjust the stroke on the fly to accommodate different package lengths on a sorting conveyor line.
Fine-tune the clamping position during initial machine commissioning to ensure precise 982 N holding force alignment.
Choose this 50 mm bore cylinder when you need 982 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa and a highly variable end-stop, which is ideal for product changeovers on a packaging line. If your application requires less force, the 40 mm bore provides 628 N; for higher force, the 63 mm bore offers 1559 N. The SAIJ adjustable-stroke design allows you to fine-tune the 170 mm nominal travel down to 120 mm without swapping cylinders or adding external stops.
When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 50 mm bore, 170 mm stroke, 50 mm adjustment range, PT port thread, and mounting style. Supported mounts include Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. Because the nominal stroke is under 300 mm, side-load stress is moderate, but always guide the rod end to prevent premature seal 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. At the maximum 1.0 MPa pressure, it delivers up to 200 kgf.
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop that lets you trim the effective travel back by up to 50 mm. This creates a usable stroke window of 120 to 170 mm, allowing precise end-position tuning without adding external stops.
