The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ63 Adjustable Stroke Air Cylinder SAIJ63AX160-40 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 160mm 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 SAIJ63X160-40 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster. It provides a 120-160 mm usable travel window by allowing you to dial back the 160 mm nominal stroke by up to 40 mm. This bore size delivers 1559 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa and 2805 N of push force at 0.9 MPa, making it well-suited for medium-duty handling tasks.
The piston rod is constructed from SUS420J2 stainless steel, offering enhanced corrosion resistance compared to standard carbon steel. The barrel is an extruded aluminum profile with sensor grooves on both sides. Because this is an adjustable-stop cylinder rather than a locking device, the rear screw sets the end position but will not hold the load without live air pressure.

Dial in the exact 120 to 160 mm end-stop during initial commissioning to perfect pressing positions without machining custom spacers.
Quickly adjust the retract distance up to 40 mm on packaging lines switching between different product widths.
Use the rear adjuster screw to set precise retraction limits for multi-stage assembly processes requiring flexible travel.
Select this 63 mm bore cylinder when your application requires 1559 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa and you need the flexibility to fine-tune the retract end-position during commissioning without swapping components. If your setup demands less force, the 50 mm bore provides 825 N of pull; if you need more clamping power, stepping up to the 80 mm bore yields 2268 N. The SAIJ63X160-40 uses a PT tapered G3/8 port and supports mounting options including Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.
When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 63 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, 40 mm adjustment range, PT G3/8 port, and SUS420J2 rod material. For load-holding applications without continuous air pressure, consider the AirTAC SAIL or BSAI series instead of relying on the rear stopper. Since the 160 mm stroke is below the 300 mm threshold, side-load stress is minimal, but external guides are still recommended for rigid loads.
Quick checklist
The rear adjuster screw allows you to shorten the 160 mm nominal stroke by up to 40 mm, providing an adjustable travel window of 120 to 160 mm. It acts as a mechanical stop to set the end position and does not lock the load without live air pressure.
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, it provides 1559 N of pull force and 2182 N of push force. At the maximum 1.0 MPa pressure, the push force reaches 2805 N.
