The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ50 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ50X250-50S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 250mm 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 SAIJ50X250-50-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, providing a usable travel window of 200 to 250 mm. It features a carbon steel piston rod and a built-in magnet for position sensing. Delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it handles mid-range automation tasks with precision.
Unlike a fixed-stroke SAI unit, this model lets you dial in the retract end-position during commissioning without adding external stops. The rear adjuster acts purely as a travel stop to set the end of stroke, so it does not hold the load without live air pressure. For load-holding requirements, consider the SAIL or BSAI series instead.

Fine-tune the 200-250 mm retract distance on the fly when switching product sizes on a packaging line, avoiding physical cylinder swaps.
Set precise rejection distances for mixed-product conveying without bolting on external stopper blocks.
Dial in the exact end-of-stroke position during machine setup to perfect timing and avoid mechanical crashes.
Choose this 50 mm bore when 40 mm falls short (628 N at 0.5 MPa) and 63 mm is excessive (1559 N at 0.5 MPa). The 50 mm bore uses a G1/4 port and a 16 mm rod, offering a balanced footprint for general conveying and assembly. The -S magnet works seamlessly with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors fitted into the dual-side barrel grooves.
To replace an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 50 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, 50 mm adjustment, PT tapered port threads, and your required mounting from the SAIJ subset: Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2. Because the stroke is 250 mm, ensure adequate guidance for the load to prevent excessive rod side-loading.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, it provides 982 N of push force and 825 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 1374 N.
The rear adjuster allows you to shorten the 250 mm nominal stroke by up to 50 mm, creating a 200-250 mm travel window. It acts as a physical stop and does not lock the load without air pressure.
