The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ63 Adjustable Stroke Air Cylinder SAIJ63AX120-40 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 SAIJ63X120-40 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, allowing you to dial back the nominal 120 mm travel by up to 40 mm. This creates a usable end-position window of 80 to 120 mm, letting you fine-tune the retract distance at commissioning without swapping the cylinder or adding external stops. It delivers a robust 2182 N push force at 0.7 MPa, making it well-suited for medium-duty positioning tasks.
This unit features a SUS420J2 stainless steel piston rod (option A) for improved corrosion resistance compared to standard carbon steel. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for direct mounting of CMSE reed or DMSE electronic sensors. It uses PT tapered ports sized G3/8 and relies on adjustable air cushions at both ends to decelerate the load smoothly.

Dial in the exact retract distance from 80 to 120 mm during product size changes without replacing the cylinder or adding external stops.
Set precise end positions at commissioning to accommodate varying material lengths or tooling depths on the fly.
Leverage the 2182 N push force at 0.7 MPa to secure workpieces while tuning the travel to prevent overtravel damage.
Choose this 63 mm bore when your application requires around 2182 N of push force at 0.7 MPa; if you need less force, a 50 mm bore provides 1374 N, while an 80 mm bore steps up to 3518 N. The adjustable stroke is ideal for product changeovers or variable end-stops on a line, offering setup flexibility that a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder cannot match. When ordering a replacement, verify the 120 mm stroke, 40 mm adjustment range, PT G3/8 port, and your required mounting style. SAIJ supports a reduced mounting set including Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR brackets. Because the stroke is under 300 mm, side-load stress is moderate, but long unsupported loads should still use an external guide. Note that the rear adjuster acts only as a travel stop and does not hold the load without live air; for true load-holding, consider the SAIL or BSAI series.
Quick checklist
The 63 mm bore generates a push force of 2182 N and a pull force of 1402 N at 0.7 MPa. At the maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa, it delivers up to 318 kgf.
A rear stopper screw lets you shorten the nominal 120 mm stroke by up to 40 mm, creating an adjustable travel window of 80 to 120 mm. The adjuster is a mechanical stop that sets the end position and does not lock the load without continuous air pressure.
