This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is SAIJ80X480-50S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the SAIJ80X480-50S in place of this model. The SAI replacement keeps the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, output force and accessories, so it drops straight into existing fixtures. It is the current-production version of this cylinder with an upgraded piston seal.
Airtac SIJ80 Dual Axis Adjustable Cylinder SIJ80X480-50S
The AirTAC Airtac SIJ80 Dual Axis Adjustable Cylinder SIJ80X480-50S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 480mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the SAIJ80X480-50S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SIJ80 Dual Axis Adjustable Cylinder SIJ80X480-50S
The AirTAC SIJ80X480-50S is a double-acting single-rod ISO 15552 adjustable-stroke cylinder, now discontinued and replaced by the drop-in SAIJ80X480-50S. Its external stop screw lets you trim the extend stroke by up to 50 mm on-site, giving a usable 430-480 mm window from the 480 mm nominal maximum. The 80 mm bore uses a G3/8 port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and 36 mm adjustable cushions, delivering 2513 N push and 2268 N pull at 0.5 MPa.
The SAIJ replacement retains the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, force, and adjust window, but upgrades the piston seal to two Y-shaped one-way elements for lower start-up pressure and longer life. Computed buyer insight: safe working load is ~1508 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa push), yielding a ~128 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The stop screw sets end position only; it is not a load lock, so use an external rod lock for held loads.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø80mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 2513 N | 2268 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 3519 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 513 kgf | |
The SAIJ80X480-50S produces the same force from the same bore — a true drop-in on output. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

Where the Airtac SIJ80 Dual Axis Adjustable Cylinder SIJ80X480-50S Is Used
Variable Pitch Push Operations
Tuning the extend stroke on-site by up to 50 mm allows operators to change the push distance for varying material thicknesses without swapping the entire cylinder.
Adjustable Transfer Diverter
A 480 mm extend stroke can be dialed back to 430 mm to accommodate different pallet sizes on a transfer line, using the external stop screw to set the exact end position.
Dynamic End-Stop Positioning
Useful in warehousing actuators where the exact extend endpoint must be shifted slightly for different package profiles, leveraging the 50 mm adjustment window.
Replacing the Airtac SIJ80 Dual Axis Adjustable Cylinder SIJ80X480-50S with the SAIJ80X480-50S
To replace the discontinued SIJ80X480-50S, map directly to the SAIJ80X480-50S, keeping the 480 mm stroke, 50 mm adjust window, and -S magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. When sizing both ways, the neighboring 63 mm bore yields 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 100 mm bore yields 3927 N; this 80 mm bore provides 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa and 4523 N at 0.9 MPa. Choose the 50 mm adjust window if your extend stroke needs field tuning between 430 and 480 mm. Mounting options include FA, LB, and TC brackets. Because the 480 mm stroke is long, ensure external guides to prevent rod bending and side loads. For load holding without live air, select the SAIL or BSAI lock variant instead of relying on the stop screw.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAIJ80X480-50S
- ✓ Same bore / stroke / force
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/G/NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Mounting reused (FA/FB/CA/CB/CR/LB/TC)
Airtac SIJ80 Dual Axis Adjustable Cylinder SIJ80X480-50S FAQ
Yes, the SIJ80X480-50S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAIJ80X480-50S. It shares the same ISO 15552 interface, 80 mm bore, 480 mm stroke, 50 mm adjust window, G3/8 port, and mounting options, but features an upgraded piston seal.
The 80 mm bore provides 2513 N push and 2268 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 3518 N push at 0.7 MPa, and 4523 N push at 0.9 MPa, with a theoretical max of 513 kgf. The external stop screw offers a 50 mm adjustment window, allowing the extend stroke to be shortened from the 480 mm maximum down to 430 mm on-site.
