The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ63 Adjustable Stroke Air Cylinder SAIJ63AX135-20 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 135mm 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 SAIJ63X135-20 is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It provides a 115-135 mm usable travel window, allowing you to dial back the nominal 135 mm stroke by up to 20 mm. Delivering 1559 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it fits medium-force applications perfectly. The extruded aluminum barrel features sensor grooves on both sides for flexible switch placement.
This specific configuration uses SUS420J2 stainless steel for the piston rod (material code A) and PT tapered port threads (G3/8). The rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop to fine-tune the retract end position during commissioning or product changeover, without requiring you to swap the cylinder or bolt on external stops. It is not a locking device and cannot hold a load without live air pressure.

Related SAI-family variants: SAID (double rod), SAIJ (adjustable stroke), SAIL (with lock), SAIF (with valve), BSAI (enclasp / clamp-lock), and SAI-S with built-in magnet. Rod material: carbon steel (blank) / SUS420J2 (A) / SUS304 (B); seals: TPU (blank) / Viton H / NBR N.
Dial in the exact 115-135 mm retract position during initial commissioning without machining custom spacers or changing the cylinder.
Quickly adjust the end-stop by up to 20 mm to accommodate a slightly shorter product variant running on the same conveyor line.
Fine-tune the clamping travel on a 63 mm bore fixture to ensure precise contact force (1559 N at 0.5 MPa) across different part tolerances.
Choose this 63 mm bore when your application requires roughly 1559 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, stepping up from a 50 mm bore (982 N) or down from an 80 mm bore (2513 N). An adjustable stroke is preferred over a fixed SAI cylinder when you need variable end-stops to accommodate minor product size changes on a line. For load-holding without live air, this cylinder is insufficient as the rear adjuster is only a travel stop; you would need to specify a SAIL (air-released lock) or BSAI (clamp-lock) cylinder instead.
To replace this exact ISO 15552 unit, match the 63 mm bore, 135 mm stroke, 20 mm adjustment range, G3/8 PT ports, and SUS420J2 rod material. The mounting interface supports Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 accessories. As a standard 135 mm stroke under the 1500 mm maximum, it operates efficiently within the 30-800 mm/s speed range.
Quick checklist
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop, letting you shorten the effective stroke from 135 mm down to 115 mm. This creates a 20 mm adjustable window for fine-tuning the end position at commissioning. The adjuster only sets the travel end; it does not lock or hold the load without live air pressure.
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the SAIJ63X135-20 provides 1559 N of push force and 1402 N of pull force. At its maximum rated pressure of 1.0 MPa, it delivers up to 318 kgf of push force.
