The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ63 Adjustable Stroke Air Cylinder SAIJ63AX185-20S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 185mm 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 SAIJ63X185-20-S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It features a 63mm bore and a 185mm nominal stroke that can be fine-tuned backward by up to 20mm, creating a precise usable travel window of 165-185mm. This built-in adjuster allows you to dial in the retract end-position at commissioning without swapping out the cylinder or adding external stops. Delivering 2182N of push force at 0.7MPa, it handles robust actuation tasks while utilizing self-lubricating variable air cushions at both ends to decelerate the piston smoothly.
This variant includes a piston magnet for position sensing and is compatible with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic solid-state switches. It features a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod for enhanced corrosion resistance and uses PT tapered port threads. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for flexible switch mounting. Mounting options include the standard SAIJ subset of Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, omitting the FB, CA, CB, and CR brackets.

Dial in the 165-185mm travel window during product size changes without replacing the cylinder or adding external stopper blocks.
Fine-tune the retract end-position at commissioning to absorb mechanical tolerances and achieve precise positioning of the tooling.
Provides 2182N of thrust at 0.7MPa for pressing or lifting tasks, with variable air cushions ensuring smooth deceleration.
Choose this 63mm bore cylinder when your application requires 2182N of push force at 0.7MPa and on-the-fly end-stop tuning. If your process demands less force, stepping down to a 50mm bore yields 1374N of push force; if you need heavier thrust, an 80mm bore provides 3518N. The adjustable stroke is ideal for product changeovers or fine-tuning a machine setup without machining external stopper blocks. Remember that the rear adjuster acts only as a mechanical travel stop and does not hold the load without live air; for true fail-safe load holding, consider an AirTAC SAIL pneumatic lock or BSAI clamp-lock cylinder. For an exact ISO 15552 replacement, match the 63mm bore, 185mm stroke, 20mm adjustment, PT ports, SUS420J2 rod, and -S magnet specifications.
Quick checklist
The rear adjuster screw allows you to shorten the 185mm nominal stroke by up to 20mm, providing a usable travel window of 165-185mm. It acts as a mechanical stop to set the end position and does not lock the load without live air pressure.
At a 0.7MPa operating pressure, the SAIJ63X185-20-S generates 2182N of push force and 1402N of pull force. The maximum thrust is 318 kgf at 1.0MPa.
