The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ63 Adjustable Stroke Air Cylinder SAIJ63AX145-100 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 145mm 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 SAIJ63X145-100 is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster. It provides a nominal 145 mm stroke that can be dialed back by up to 100 mm, creating a highly versatile 45-145 mm usable travel window for precise positioning. Delivering 2182 N of push force at 0.7 MPa, it handles demanding actuation tasks.
This variant uses a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (option A) for improved corrosion resistance and features PT tapered port threads (G3/8). The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for flexible mounting of CMSE or DMSE switches. The rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop to set the end position, meaning it will not hold a load without continuous live air pressure.

Dial in the exact 45 to 145 mm travel distance during machine commissioning to accommodate varying material thicknesses without adding external mechanical stops.
Quickly reset the cylinder's effective stroke on automated lines processing different package lengths, leveraging the 100 mm adjustment range to handle multiple formats.
Utilize the SUS420J2 stainless steel rod in environments with higher humidity or washdown needs, ensuring reliable positioning over a wide adjustable travel window.
Choose this 63 mm bore cylinder when an application requires a wide variable stroke window during commissioning or frequent product changeovers, avoiding the need to physically swap out a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder. If your process requires less force, stepping down to a 50 mm bore yields 1374 N of push force at 0.5 MPa; for heavier loads, an 80 mm bore provides 3518 N at 0.7 MPa.
Because the 145 mm nominal stroke is under 300 mm, side-load stress on the M16x1.5 rod thread is manageable without an external guide. To replace this unit, match the 63 mm bore, 145 mm stroke, 100 mm adjustment range, PT G3/8 port, and Basic/FA/LB/TC/FTC/TCM1/TCM2 mounting interface. Note that for any load-holding requirements without live air, a separate SAIL or BSAI locking cylinder is required, as the adjuster here is strictly a travel stop.
Quick checklist
It features a rear adjusting screw that mechanically limits the piston's retract travel. For this model, you can trim the 145 mm nominal stroke back by up to 100 mm, resulting in a usable travel window of 45 to 145 mm. The adjuster is a stop, not a lock, and requires live air to maintain position.
At a standard operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, this 63 mm bore double-acting cylinder generates 2182 N of push force and 1402 N of pull force. It can deliver a maximum push force of 2805 N at 0.9 MPa.
