The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ63 Adjustable Stroke Air Cylinder SAIJ63AX180-50 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 SAIJ63X180-50 is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, allowing you to dial back the nominal 180 mm travel by up to 50 mm. This creates a precise 130-180 mm usable stroke window, allowing exact end-position tuning at commissioning without swapping hardware. It delivers 1559 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to 2805 N at 0.9 MPa.
Built with a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (material code A) and PT tapered port threads, this extruded aluminum profile cylinder handles speeds of 30-800 mm/s. The rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop to set the travel end alongside the standard air cushions; it does not hold the load without live air pressure. For load-holding requirements, consider the SAIL or BSAI series instead.

Dial in the exact retract distance within the 130-180 mm window during machine setup, eliminating the need for custom spacer blocks.
Quickly adapt a packaging line to different carton depths by rotating the rear adjuster screw to shift the end-of-stroke position.
Fine-tune the clamping reach on a 63 mm bore actuator delivering up to 2805 N of push force at 0.9 MPa without changing the cylinder body.
Select this 63 mm bore cylinder when an application requires intermediate force—stepping down to a 50 mm bore yields 825 N pull at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to an 80 mm bore provides 2268 N. The generous 50 mm adjustment range is ideal for product-size changeovers on a line, providing variable end-stops without adding external stops. To replace an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 63 mm bore, 180 mm nominal stroke, 50 mm adjuster, G3/8 port, and mounting choice (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2). Since this is a non-magnet version, add an -S suffix if CMSE reed or DMSE electronic sensors are needed.
Quick checklist
The rear adjuster screw allows you to mechanically shorten the 180 mm stroke by up to 50 mm, providing a usable travel range of 130-180 mm. This stopper sets the end position but does not lock the load without continuous air pressure.
At 0.5 MPa it provides 1559 N pull and 2182 N push. At the maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa, it delivers a peak push force of 318 kgf.
