The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ63 Adjustable Stroke Air Cylinder SAIJ63AX165-40 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 SAIJ63X165-40 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that allows you to fine-tune the effective travel down from 165 mm to a 125 mm minimum. Operating at 0.5 MPa, this 63 mm bore generates 1559 N of pull force and 2182 N of push force at 0.7 MPa, making it well-suited for moderate-duty positioning tasks.
This variant features a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (material code A) for improved corrosion resistance and utilizes PT tapered port threads with a G3/8 connection. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, allowing for the straightforward mounting of CMSE reed or DMSE electronic solid-state switches if position feedback is later required.

Quickly shift the end-stop from 165 mm down to 125 mm when adapting machinery to run a slightly shorter product size.
Fine-tune the retract position during initial setup to achieve precise mechanical alignment without external spacers.
Provide a flexible travel window for assembly stations that occasionally require slightly different stroke endings.
Selecting this adjustable model over a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder is ideal when you need to dial in a precise end-of-stroke position during commissioning or product changeovers without physically swapping the cylinder or adding external stops. The rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop; it does not lock or hold the load without live air pressure. If your application requires true fail-safe load holding, consider an AirTAC SAIL pneumatic lock or BSAI clamp-lock cylinder instead.
Because the 165 mm stroke is relatively short for the 63 mm bore, the 20 mm rod diameter and M16x1.5 thread handle side loads well without requiring an external guide. When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 63 mm bore, 165 mm stroke, 40 mm adjustment range, PT G3/8 port, and standard mounting options (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2).
Quick checklist
The rear adjuster screw allows you to shorten the nominal 165 mm stroke by up to 40 mm, providing an effective travel window of 125 to 165 mm. This stopper sets the end position but does not lock or hold the load without continuous air pressure.
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the SAIJ63X165-40 provides 1559 N of push force and 1402 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 2182 N.
