The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ80 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ80BX550-50S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 550mm stroke, G3/8 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 SAIJ80X550-50-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear mechanical adjuster that allows you to fine-tune the effective stroke length. With a 550 mm nominal stroke and a 50 mm adjustment range, you can dial the travel window down to 500 mm during commissioning without adding external stops. It delivers robust thrust, offering 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 4523 N at 0.9 MPa.
This variant uses a SUS304 stainless steel rod for corrosion resistance and includes a magnet for position sensing. The extruded aluminum barrel integrates sensor grooves on both sides, supporting AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic switches. The G3/8 PT tapered ports manage pneumatic flow, while the 25 mm rod and M20x1.5 thread provide high structural rigidity for demanding setups.

Dial in the exact retract distance between 500 and 550 mm to accommodate varying material thicknesses without changing the cylinder.
Quickly adjust the stroke end-position during packaging line format changes, saving downtime compared to physically swapping cylinders.
Leverage the 4523 N push force at 0.9 MPa to securely hold and form heavy metal or composite parts during machining.
Choose this 80 mm bore when an application requires heavy thrust (up to 4523 N at 0.9 MPa) that exceeds the 50 mm bore's 1767 N capacity, but falls short of the 100 mm bore's 7068 N output. The adjustable 500-550 mm travel window is ideal for product changeovers, allowing you to reposition the retract end-stop on the fly rather than physically swapping the cylinder for a different fixed-stroke SAI unit.
Because the 550 mm stroke is substantial, the unsupported piston rod is prone to deflection under gravity or side loads; always use an external guide to prevent premature seal wear. Remember that the rear adjuster acts only as a travel stop and the air cushions handle deceleration—neither will hold a load without live air pressure. For true load-holding without continuous air, integrate an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve, or select an AirTAC SAIL or BSAI series. Mounting options include Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, it provides 2513 N of push force and 2268 N of pull force. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 4523 N.
A rear adjusting screw allows you to shorten the 550 mm nominal stroke by up to 50 mm, creating a usable travel window of 500-550 mm. This stopper fine-tunes the end position but does not lock the load without live air pressure.
