The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ63 Adjustable Stroke Air Cylinder SAIJ63AX145-40 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 SAIJ63X145-40 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster. It provides a usable travel window of 105 to 145 mm, allowing you to dial back the nominal 145 mm stroke by up to 40 mm during commissioning without swapping out the unit. Delivering a pull force of 1402 N at 0.5 MPa, it fits perfectly into mid-range pneumatic setups requiring precise end-position tuning.
This variant uses a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (option A) for enhanced durability against moisture and minor splash. It features PT tapered port threads (G3/8) and dual-sided sensor grooves on the extruded aluminum barrel. Note that the rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop to set the retract end; it does not hold the load without live air pressure.

Dial in the exact retract distance within the 105-145 mm window during machine commissioning to perfect product handling without adding external stopper blocks.
Quickly adapt the cylinder's travel end on the fly to accommodate different package sizes or part lengths running down the same conveyor line.
Leverage the 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa to press components, using the 40 mm adjustment to compensate for varying material thicknesses on the fly.
Choose this 63 mm bore when your application requires a pull force around 1402 N at 0.5 MPa, bridging the gap between the 50 mm bore (825 N pull) and the 80 mm bore (2268 N pull). An adjustable stroke is selected over a fixed SAI model when you need variable end-stops for product size changeovers or fine-tuning at machine setup. To match this ISO 15552 interchangeable cylinder, specify: 63 mm bore, 145 mm stroke, 40 mm adjustment, PT G3/8 port, no magnet, and SUS420J2 rod material.
Because the stroke is under 300 mm, side-load stress on the 20 mm rod and M16x1.5 rod thread is moderate, but an external guide is still recommended for heavy lateral loads. For applications that must hold a position mechanically without continuous air pressure, consider the SAIL (air-released lock) or BSAI (clamp-lock) series instead, as the SAIJ adjuster is not a brake.
Quick checklist
The rear adjuster screw lets you mechanically shorten the stroke by up to 40 mm. This creates a usable travel window of 105 to 145 mm, allowing you to fine-tune the end position at commissioning without replacing the cylinder.
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, it generates a push force of 1559 N and a pull force of 1402 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 2182 N.
