The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ63 Adjustable Stroke Air Cylinder SAIJ63AX140-40S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 140mm 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 SAIJ63X140-40-S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It delivers a robust 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa and features a 140 mm nominal stroke that can be fine-tuned down by up to 40 mm, yielding a precise 100-140 mm usable travel window. This built-in adjustability allows you to dial in the retract end position during commissioning without adding external stops.
This specific configuration includes a SUS420J2 stainless steel piston rod (material code A) for enhanced corrosion resistance and a built-in magnet (-S) for position sensing. It operates at speeds of 30-800 mm/s and uses a PT G3/8 port. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, seamlessly accommodating AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic solid-state switches.

Quickly adjust the 100-140 mm travel window to accommodate different product lengths on a packaging line without swapping hardware.
Fine-tune the retract stop during machine commissioning to achieve exact clamping or pressing depths, avoiding costly mechanical shimming.
Use the 40 mm adjustment range to vary the retract position dynamically for automated assembly stations requiring flexible spacing.
Choose this 63 mm bore when an application requires more thrust than a 50 mm cylinder (which provides 982 N push at 0.5 MPa) but does not warrant the bulk of an 80 mm unit (2513 N). The adjustable stroke is ideal for machine setups requiring frequent product changeovers, allowing you to shift the end-stop by up to 40 mm on the fly. For fixed-position tasks without variance, a standard SAI cylinder is sufficient. When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 63 mm bore, 140 mm stroke, 40 mm adjustment, PT G3/8 port, and the -S magnet requirement.
Because the nominal stroke is 140 mm, side-load risks are moderate, but always ensure adequate external guiding for optimal seal longevity. Remember that the rear adjuster acts strictly as a travel stop to set deceleration, not as a locking device; the cylinder cannot hold a load without live air. For true load-holding without pneumatic pressure, consider an AirTAC SAIL or BSAI series cylinder instead.
Quick checklist
The rear adjuster acts as a mechanical stop that shortens the effective stroke. For this model, the 140 mm nominal stroke can be trimmed back by up to 40 mm, providing a usable travel window of 100-140 mm.
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the SAIJ63X140-40-S provides 1559 N of push force and 1402 N of pull force. At its maximum 1.0 MPa pressure, it can deliver up to 318 kgf.
