The AirTAC Airtac SAUJ50 Adjustable Stroke Cylinder SAUJ50X70-30S is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 70mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its hard-anodized aluminum-profile barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore, and it shares SC-series mounting accessories.
The AirTAC SAUJ50X70-30S is a double-acting single-rod profile cylinder with an on-site extend stroke adjustment. An external stop screw lets you shorten the 70 mm nominal stroke by up to 30 mm, yielding a usable 40-70 mm working distance. This prevents buying a custom cylinder when you need to fine-tune machine positioning. The 1/4" port and M16x1.5 rod end match the standard 50 mm bore specification.
This profile barrel is notably shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. It delivers 982 N push and 825 N pull at 0.5 MPa, peaking at 1767 N push at 0.9 MPa. For sizing, the safe working load is roughly 589 N, and it can vertically lift about 50 kg with a 2:1 margin. The -S suffix means a piston magnet is included for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.

Dialing in the exact open distance of a gripper is critical. The 30 mm stop screw window lets operators fine-tune jaw extension on-site to grasp varying part sizes without swapping cylinders.
Heat sealers often need micro-adjustments for different package thicknesses. This cylinder allows operators to shorten the extend stroke by up to 30 mm to set the precise sealing crush distance.
When diverting mixed product lengths on a conveyor, the external stop screw provides a quick mechanical adjustment for the diverter fence position, ensuring items route correctly without reprogramming.
Size this 50 mm bore against its neighbors: a 40 mm bore yields 628 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a 63 mm bore provides 1559 N. Choose the SAUJ over a fixed SAU when your assembly requires manual extend-length tuning without remachining hard stops. The 30 mm adjust window is ideal for minor mechanical timing shifts. Mounting options include Basic, FA flange, and LB foot, sharing compatibility with the AirTAC SC series. The included -S magnet supports CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. Because the 70 mm stroke is short, side-loading is minimal, but always guide the load externally for rigid stability.
Quick checklist
This 50 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4" port and provides 982 N push / 825 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 1374 N push at 0.7 MPa, and 1767 N at 0.9 MPa. The 70 mm nominal extend stroke can be shortened by up to 30 mm via the external stop screw, giving a 40-70 mm usable range.
The external stop screw physically limits the piston's extend travel, setting the end position without altering internal cushions. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for mounting CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic switches. Note that the stop screw sets position only; it does not lock the load on air loss.
