The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ63 Adjustable Stroke Air Cylinder SAIJ63AX165-20S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 165mm 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 SAIJ63X165-20-S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It provides a 145-165 mm usable travel window by allowing you to trim up to 20 mm from the 165 mm nominal stroke during commissioning. In the 63 mm bore class, it delivers 1559 N of pull force and 2182 N of push force at 0.7 MPa. This variant includes a magnet for position sensing and features an SUS420J2 stainless steel piston rod for enhanced corrosion resistance.
The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for direct mounting of CMSE reed or DMSE electronic switches. It uses a G3/8 port and offers variable air cushions at both ends to manage deceleration. The rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop to fine-tune the end position without needing external stops, but it does not hold the load without live air pressure.

Dial in the 145-165 mm travel window during product size transitions without swapping out the entire cylinder or adding external mechanical stops.
Fine-tune the retract stroke by up to 20 mm at commissioning to achieve exact positioning accuracy for varying workpiece lengths.
Utilize the rear adjuster screw to set precise retraction limits on automated assembly lines where multiple end-stop distances are required.
Choose this 63 mm bore adjustable-stroke cylinder when your assembly requires precise end-position tuning during setup or product changeover, stepping up from a 50 mm bore that provides 1374 N of push force. The 20 mm adjustment range is ideal for dialing in exact clamping or positioning distances on the fly. The SUS420J2 rod and M16x1.5 rod thread handle moderate side loads well, though any stroke exceeding 300 mm would require an external guide.
This SAIJ model supports a reduced mounting set including Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, omitting the FB, CA, CB, and CR options. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552. For applications requiring the load to be held without continuous air pressure, consider the SAIL or BSAI series, as the SAIJ rear adjuster functions only as a travel stop and not a lock.
Quick checklist
The rear adjusting screw allows you to shorten the effective stroke by up to 20 mm from the 165 mm nominal length, providing a usable travel window of 145-165 mm. The adjuster acts as a mechanical stop and does not lock the load without live air pressure.
At 0.5 MPa, it provides 1559 N of pull force and 1559 N of push force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 2182 N, with a maximum push force of 2805 N at 0.9 MPa.
