The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ63 Adjustable Stroke Air Cylinder SAIJ63AX180-30 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 SAIJ63X180-30 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, enabling a usable travel window of 150-180mm. Delivering a 1559N pull force at 0.5MPa, it handles robust positioning tasks. The extruded aluminum barrel features sensor grooves on both sides for flexible switch mounting.
This variant incorporates an SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (code A) for enhanced durability against moisture and light corrosion. The rear adjustment screw acts as a mechanical stop to fine-tune the retract end position during commissioning without adding external stops. It is not a locking device; for load-holding without live air pressure, consider the SAIL or BSAI series.

Dial in the 150-180mm retract position during product size changes without physically swapping cylinders or adding external stopper blocks.
Fine-tune the final retract position at commissioning to absorb mechanical tolerances and achieve precise placement before tightening lock nuts.
Leverage the 1559N pull force and SUS420J2 rod to move and position heavier jigs or workpieces reliably in harsh environments.
Choose this 63mm bore cylinder when you need higher force than the 50mm bore (which provides 825N pull at 0.5MPa) but do not require the full output of the 80mm version. The 30mm adjustment range is ideal for product changeovers on automated lines, allowing you to dial in the exact end position without swapping the cylinder. The PT tapered port threads ensure a robust, sealed connection.
When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 63mm bore, 180mm nominal stroke, 30mm adjustment, PT port, and desired mounting style. SAIJ supports a reduced mounting set including Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR. For this 180mm stroke, the 20mm rod and M16x1.5 thread handle side loads well, though longer unsupported strokes require external guides.
Quick checklist
At 0.5MPa, it provides 1559N of push force and 1402N of pull force. At 0.7MPa, the push force increases to 2182N.
The rear adjuster screw lets you mechanically shorten the effective stroke within a 150-180mm window. It functions as a travel stop, not a lock, so it cannot hold the load without continuous air pressure.
