The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ63 Adjustable Stroke Air Cylinder SAIJ63AX180-20S 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 SAIJ63X180-20-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a rear stroke adjuster, featuring a 160-180 mm usable travel window. It delivers 1559 N of pull force and 2182 N of push force at 0.7 MPa. Equipped with a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (option A), it handles harsher environments better than standard carbon steel. The integrated magnet (-S) pairs directly with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE solid-state sensors in the dual-side barrel grooves.
The 20 mm rear adjustment screw lets you dial in the retract end-position during commissioning without adding external stops. This adjuster functions strictly as a travel stop, not a lock; it cannot hold a load without live air. For load-holding without pressure, consider the SAIL or BSAI series. The SAIJ mounting set includes Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR.

Dial in the exact 160-180 mm retract position during machine commissioning to perfect product seating without swapping cylinders.
Quickly adapt the stroke window on packaging lines when running different package sizes, minimizing downtime between batches.
Provide 1559 N pull force for pressing and clamping operations, using the rear stop to account for material thickness variations.
Choose this 63 mm bore when you need 1559 N pull force at 0.5 MPa and a variable end-stop for product changeovers. If your process requires less force, the 50 mm bore provides 825 N pull; if you need more, the 80 mm bore yields 2268 N. The PT tapered port threads match standard pneumatic fittings, while the M16x1.5 rod thread and 20 mm rod diameter provide robust side-load resistance for this 180 mm stroke.
Because the stroke is under 300 mm, side-load stress is manageable, but long unsupported loads still need an external guide. The SAIJ is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, making it a direct drop-in for matching ISO 15552 cylinders. Select this adjustable model over a fixed SAI when you need on-the-fly end-position tuning rather than a rigid stroke.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, it provides 1559 N of pull force and 2182 N of push force. At 0.7 MPa, the pull force is 1402 N and push force is 2182 N.
The rear adjuster screw allows you to shorten the 180 mm nominal stroke by up to 20 mm, creating a 160-180 mm usable travel window. It acts as a mechanical stop and does not lock the load without air pressure.
