The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ63 Adjustable Stroke Air Cylinder SAIJ63AX185-40S 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 SAIJ63X185-40-S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It provides a nominal 185 mm stroke that can be fine-tuned backward by up to 40 mm, creating a precise 145-185 mm usable travel window. Delivering 2182 N of push force at 0.7 MPa, it is built with a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (code A) for enhanced corrosion resistance.
This model includes a magnetic piston (-S) for position detection and uses PT tapered ports sized G3/8. The extruded aluminum barrel features sensor grooves on both sides, accepting AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic solid-state switches. The rear stopper allows you to dial in the retract end position during commissioning without adding external stops, though it acts only as a travel stop and does not hold the load without live air pressure.

Dial in the 145-185 mm travel window during format size changes on packaging lines, using the rear screw to set new end positions without replacing hardware.
Fine-tune the retract position during machine commissioning to prevent mechanical crashes, relying on the 40 mm adjustment range for exact positioning.
Apply 2182 N of thrust at 0.7 MPa for pressing tasks, using the adjustable stopper to accommodate varying part heights on the fly.
Choose this 63 mm bore when an application requires roughly 2182 N push force at 0.7 MPa; step down to a 50 mm bore (1374 N push at 0.7 MPa) for lighter loads, or up to an 80 mm bore (3518 N push at 0.7 MPa) for heavier demands. The adjustable 145-185 mm travel window is ideal for product changeovers on a line, letting you reposition the end stop in minutes rather than swapping the entire cylinder for a fixed-stroke SAI unit.
For a direct ISO 15552 replacement match, verify the 63 mm bore, 185 mm nominal stroke, 40 mm adjustment range, PT G3/8 port thread, and the -S magnet requirement. Mounting options include Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. Because the stroke is under 300 mm, side-load stress is moderate, but the 20 mm rod diameter still requires external guiding for heavy lateral loads. Note that neither the rear adjuster nor the air cushions function as a lock; for load-holding without live air, consider an external rod lock, SAIL, or BSAI cylinder.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, this 63 mm bore cylinder provides 2182 N of push force and 1402 N of pull force. At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 1559 N.
The rear adjuster screw lets you shorten the 185 mm nominal stroke by up to 40 mm, providing a usable travel window of 145-185 mm. It acts as a mechanical stop to set the end position and does not lock the load without continuous air pressure.
