The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ63 Adjustable Stroke Air Cylinder SAIJ63AX120-100S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 120mm 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 SAIJ63X120-100-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that allows you to fine-tune the effective travel anywhere within a 20 to 120 mm window. Delivering 1559 N of push force and 1402 N of pull force at a 0.5 MPa operating pressure, it provides robust actuation for mid-range tasks. The barrel is extruded aluminum with sensor grooves on both sides, and this -S variant includes a magnet for use with CMSE reed and DMSE solid-state sensors.
This SKU is configured with an SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (option A) for enhanced durability against surface wear and light moisture. The rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop to set the retract end position during commissioning or product changeover without swapping the cylinder. It is not a locking device, so live air pressure is required to hold the load in place. Mounting options include the reduced SAIJ set: Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.

Dial in the exact retract distance on the fly when switching between different package sizes on a packaging line, utilizing the full 20-120 mm travel window.
Fine-tune the end-of-stroke position during initial commissioning without adding external physical stops or changing out the entire actuator.
Adjust the mechanical stopper to accommodate varying material thicknesses or positioning requirements in mid-force assembly operations.
Choose this 63 mm bore cylinder when your application demands a wide variable end-stop range (up to 100 mm of adjustment) on a 120 mm nominal stroke, which is ideal for machines running multiple product sizes. If your process requires less force, stepping down to a 50 mm bore yields 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If you need more power, stepping up to an 80 mm bore provides 2513 N at the same pressure. Because this model features a 120 mm stroke, side-load risks are minimal, but always ensure the M16x1.5 rod thread is aligned correctly during installation.
When matching this ISO 15552 cylinder for a replacement, verify the 63 mm bore, 120 mm stroke, 100 mm adjustment range, PT tapered port threads, and the -S magnet option. For applications that must hold a position mechanically without continuous air supply, select a related SAIL (air-released lock) or BSAI (clamp-lock) cylinder instead of relying on the rear adjuster or the standard air cushions.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, this 63 mm bore cylinder provides 1559 N of push force and 1402 N of pull force. It operates at speeds between 30 and 800 mm/s.
The rear adjuster screw lets you mechanically shorten the effective stroke by up to 100 mm from the 120 mm nominal length, giving a usable travel window of 20 to 120 mm. The adjuster is a stop, not a lock, so it cannot hold the load without live air pressure.
