The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ63 Adjustable Stroke Air Cylinder SAIJ63AX185-50 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 SAIJ63X185-50 is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster. It provides a nominal 185 mm stroke that can be dialed back by up to 50 mm, yielding a precise 135-185 mm usable travel window for product changeovers. In the 63 mm bore class, it delivers 1559 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa and up to 2805 N of push force at 0.7 MPa.
This unit is configured with an SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (option A) for improved corrosion resistance and features PT tapered port threads with a G3/8 connection. The rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop to fine-tune the retract end position; it does not lock the load without live air pressure. For load-holding requirements, an external rod lock or related SAIL cylinder is required.

Dial in the 135-185 mm travel window during format size changes on packaging lines without replacing the cylinder or adding external stops.
Fine-tune the retract stop at machine commissioning to achieve exact mechanical endpoints, absorbing minor variations in tooling length.
Provide adaptable retraction limits on automated assembly stations where multiple part heights are processed on the same fixture.
Select this 63 mm bore cylinder when an application requires 1559 N pull force at 0.5 MPa but demands variable end-position tuning without swapping physical components. If your setup needs less force, stepping down to a 50 mm bore yields 825 N of pull force; stepping up to an 80 mm bore provides 2268 N. The adjustable 135-185 mm window is ideal for commissioning fine-tunes and product-size changes on a line.
Because this is a 185 mm stroke, side-load risks are moderate, but always ensure external guiding for heavy loads. To match this exact configuration for an ISO 15552 replacement, specify the 63 mm bore, 185 mm stroke, 50 mm adjustment, PT port thread, and the SUS420J2 rod material. Note that SAIJ supports Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 mounts, omitting FB and CA/CB styles. Since no magnet is specified, position sensing via CMSE or DMSE switches is not enabled.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, this 63 mm bore cylinder provides 1559 N of pull force and 2182 N of push force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 2805 N.
The rear adjuster acts as a mechanical stop that shortens the effective stroke. For this 185 mm nominal stroke model, you can trim the travel back by up to 50 mm, creating a 135-185 mm usable window. It functions as a stop, not a lock, and cannot hold the load without live air.
