The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ63 Adjustable Stroke Air Cylinder SAIJ63AX170-100 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 170mm 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 SAIJ63X170-100 is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster. It provides a nominal 170 mm stroke that can be dialed back by up to 100 mm, creating a wide 70 to 170 mm usable travel window for high-flexibility tooling setups. Delivering a push force of 2182 N at 0.7 MPa, it handles substantial actuation loads while allowing precise end-position tuning without swapping out the physical barrel.
This variant uses a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (material code A) for superior corrosion resistance compared to standard carbon steel. It features PT tapered port threads (G3/8) and omits the FB, CA, CB, and CR mounting accessories, utilizing a focused mounting set of Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, ready for future automation upgrades.

Rapidly dial in the 70-170 mm travel window during packaging line format changes to accommodate different carton sizes without replacing the actuator.
Fine-tune the retract end-stop at machine commissioning to perfect the seating pressure of a 2182 N assembly tool without adding external stopper blocks.
Adjust the effective stroke on the fly for automated test fixtures that need to probe components at multiple depths within the 100 mm adjustment range.
Select this 63 mm bore when your application requires a push force around 2182 N at 0.7 MPa, but you need to frequently alter the end-stop position for varying product sizes. The massive 100 mm adjustment range allows you to trim the effective stroke down to 70 mm during commissioning or product changeovers without bolting on external stops. If your process requires less force, stepping down to a 50 mm bore yields 1374 N of push thrust at 0.7 MPa.
Because the 170 mm stroke is below the 300 mm threshold, standard side-load concerns are minimal, though an external guide is still recommended for heavy lateral loads. Remember that the rear adjuster acts purely as a travel stop and does not hold the load without live air pressure; for fail-safe load holding, consider the AirTAC SAIL or BSAI clamping cylinders. To match this ISO 15552 dimensionally interchangeable cylinder, specify a 63 mm bore, 170 mm stroke, 100 mm adjustment, PT G3/8 ports, and no magnet.
Quick checklist
The rear-mounted adjusting screw acts as a mechanical stopper that trims the retract end position. For this model, you can shorten the 170 mm nominal stroke by up to 100 mm, giving an adjustable usable travel window of 70 to 170 mm.
At a standard operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, this 63 mm bore cylinder generates a push force of 2182 N and a pull force of 1402 N. It can deliver up to 2805 N of push force at its maximum rated pressure of 0.9 MPa.
