The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ63 Adjustable Stroke Air Cylinder SAIJ63AX180-10 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 180mm 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 SAIJ63X180-10 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that creates a 170-180 mm usable travel window. Delivering 1559 N of push thrust at 0.5 MPa, it handles mid-range actuation with precision. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for flexible mounting of CMSE or DMSE switches.
This SKU uses a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod for improved corrosion resistance and features a PT tapered port thread. The rear adjuster allows you to fine-tune the retract end-position at commissioning without bolting on external stops. It functions strictly as a travel stop to set deceleration, not as a lock, meaning the cylinder cannot hold a load without live air pressure.

Fine-tune the retract position during machine commissioning to perfect a pressing operation within a 10 mm tolerance.
Position components accurately using the rear stopper, leveraging the 1559 N thrust to move mid-weight jigs into place.
Choose this 63 mm bore when a 50 mm bore (982 N push at 0.5 MPa) is too weak but an 80 mm bore (2513 N) is oversized. The 10 mm adjustment range is ideal for machines requiring exact end-stop tuning during setup or product changeover, avoiding the need to swap out a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder. For ISO 15552 interchangeability, match the 180 mm stroke, 10 mm adjuster, PT G3/8 port, and your required mounting from the SAIJ set: Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2. Since this model lacks the -S magnet, it cannot host position-sensing switches without modification.
With a 180 mm stroke, the 20 mm diameter rod handles standard loads well, but long unsupported strokes on larger bores still require an external guide to prevent side-load damage. If your process requires true load-holding without continuous air, consider the SAIL or BSAI series instead.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 63 mm bore cylinder provides 1559 N of push thrust and 1402 N of pull thrust. The maximum thrust is 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The rear adjuster screw lets you shorten the 180 mm nominal stroke by up to 10 mm, creating a 170-180 mm travel window. It acts as a mechanical stop for end-position tuning and does not lock the load without live air pressure.
