The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ80 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ80X260-50 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 260mm 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 SAIJ80X260-50 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It delivers a robust 2513N pull force at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a 25mm carbon steel piston rod and G3/8 PT ports. By turning the external rear stopper, you can trim the nominal 260mm travel back by up to 50mm, creating a precise 210-260mm usable window. This allows fine-tuning of the end position during commissioning without adding external stops.
The extruded aluminum barrel features sensor grooves on both sides for CMSE reed or DMSE electronic switches if a magnet is later specified. SAIJ supports a reduced mounting subset of Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, omitting FB and CA options. The standard carbon steel rod handles high side-load stress well, though a 260mm stroke still benefits from an external guide rail to prevent premature wear.

Quickly adjust the 210-260mm travel window to accommodate different package sizes on a packaging line without swapping cylinders.
Fine-tune the retract end-position during machine setup to dial in exact pressing or locating distances without external stopper blocks.
Set precise variable end-stops for assembly stations where the rear stroke must be occasionally trimmed to prevent over-travel.
Select this 80mm bore when an application demands high thrust (up to 2513N pull at 0.5 MPa) alongside variable end-stop positioning. If you need less force, step down to the 50mm bore offering 825N pull; if your load requires more, the 100mm bore provides 3681N pull. The SAIJ80X260-50 is chosen over a fixed SAI when a machine handles multiple product sizes, allowing operators to dial in the 210-260mm travel window on the fly.
Because the 260mm stroke exceeds 300mm? No, but at 260mm, an external guide is still recommended for heavy loads. Remember that the rear adjuster functions strictly as a travel stop, not a lock. The cylinder cannot hold a load without live air pressure; for true pneumatic locking, select the SAIL or BSAI series instead. This model is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, featuring PT ports and a non-magnetic standard rod.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 80mm bore cylinder provides 2513N of pull force and 3518N of push force. It operates at speeds between 30-800 mm/s.
The rear external stopper allows you to shorten the 260mm nominal stroke by up to 50mm, creating an adjustable travel window of 210-260mm. The adjuster acts as a mechanical stop and does not lock the load without live air pressure.
