This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is SAIJ80X50-20 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the SAIJ80X50-20 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 SIJ80X50-20
The AirTAC Airtac SIJ80 Dual Axis Adjustable Cylinder SIJ80X50-20 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 50mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the SAIJ80X50-20, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SIJ80 Dual Axis Adjustable Cylinder SIJ80X50-20
The AirTAC SIJ80X50-20 is a discontinued double-acting single-rod ISO 15552 adjustable-stroke cylinder. An external stop screw lets you trim the extend stroke by up to 20 mm on-site, giving a usable 30-50 mm window from the 50 mm nominal maximum. The 80 mm bore delivers 2513 N push and 2268 N pull at 0.5 MPa via a G3/8 port. As this SKU lacks a -S suffix, it has no magnet and cannot accept a reed switch.
The direct drop-in replacement is the SAIJ80X50-20, retaining the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, M20x1.5 rod thread, and 36 mm adjustable cushions. The SAIJ upgrade utilizes a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for lower start-up pressure and longer life. For sizing, the safe working load is roughly 1508 N (60% of the 0.5 MPa push), equating to a 128 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Remember the stop screw sets end position only; it is not a load lock, so use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant 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 SAIJ80X50-20 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 SIJ80X50-20 Is Used
Press Fit Tuning
Light-duty press operations needing exact bottoming position adjusted on-site within the 30-50 mm extend window without swapping cylinders.
Diverter Gate Stroke
Calibrating a diverter gate endpoint by up to 20 mm on-site to accommodate varying package profiles on a packaging line.
Tooling Positioning
Fine-tuning the extend stop for multi-format tooling fixtures where the exact extend endpoint must be dialed in during machine commissioning.
Replacing the Airtac SIJ80 Dual Axis Adjustable Cylinder SIJ80X50-20 with the SAIJ80X50-20
To replace the discontinued SIJ80X50-20, order the drop-in SAIJ80X50-20, which preserves the 50 mm nominal stroke, 20 mm adjust window, and G3/8 port. 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 model provides 2518 N at 0.7 MPa if you up the pressure. Choose the 20 mm adjust window when you need precise field tuning of the extend endpoint. Mounting options include FA, LB, and TC brackets. Because this unit lacks the -S magnet, it cannot support legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. For strokes at or above 300 mm, verify your side-load limits to prevent guide failure.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAIJ80X50-20
- ✓ 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 SIJ80X50-20 FAQ
Yes, the SIJ80X50-20 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAIJ80X50-20. It shares the identical ISO 15552 interface, 80 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, 20 mm adjust window, and G3/8 port, but features an upgraded two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for longer life.
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 at 0.9 MPa, with a theoretical max of 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The external stop screw allows you to trim the extend stroke by up to 20 mm on-site, yielding a usable 30-50 mm stroke. The stop sets end position only and is not a load lock.
