The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ63 Adjustable Stroke Air Cylinder SAIJ63AX230-40S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 230mm 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 SAIJ63X230-40-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster that allows you to trim the nominal 230 mm travel back by up to 40 mm, creating a precise 190-230 mm usable end-position window. Delivering 1559 N of push thrust and 1402 N of pull thrust at 0.5 MPa, it is dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 cylinders without relying on tie-rod construction. This specific SKU is configured with a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (code A) for enhanced corrosion resistance and includes a standard magnet (-S) for position sensing.
The extruded aluminum barrel integrates sensor grooves on both sides, directly supporting AirTAC CMSE reed switches and DMSE solid-state electronic sensors. You can fine-tune the retract end-position directly at commissioning or during product changeovers without swapping out the entire cylinder or adding bulky external stops. The rear adjuster functions purely as a mechanical travel stop to set the end-of-stroke deceleration point alongside the built-in air cushions, and it will not hold the load if air pressure is removed.

Dial in the exact retract position within the 190-230 mm window during product size transitions without machining new stopper blocks.
Fine-tune the final end-of-stroke position during machine commissioning to compensate for mechanical wear or sensor drift.
Adjust the stroke length on the fly for batch-specific forming or pressing tasks that require slightly different travel distances.
Choose this 63 mm bore adjustable model when your setup requires a variable end-stop within a 190-230 mm travel window, stepping up from a 50 mm bore that provides 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa, or down from an 80 mm bore yielding 2513 N. The integrated magnet works seamlessly with CMSE and DMSE sensors for exact positioning feedback, and the PT tapered port threads (G3/8) ensure a tight pneumatic connection. Because the nominal stroke is 230 mm, you should evaluate the load for potential side-loading and utilize an external guide if the rod is subjected to lateral forces.
This SAIJ configuration uses a reduced mounting subset—Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2—omitting the FB, CA, CB, and CR brackets found on some standard lines. If your application requires true load-holding without live air pressure, this cylinder is not a lock; you should instead look at the AirTAC SAIL (air-released lock) or BSAI (clamp-lock) series, or implement an external pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 63 mm bore cylinder provides 1559 N of push force and 1402 N of pull force. It supports a standard operating speed range of 30-800 mm/s, controlled by the built-in variable air cushions at both ends.
The rear external adjuster screw allows you to shorten the effective stroke by up to 40 mm from the 230 mm nominal length, giving a usable travel window of 190 to 230 mm. It acts as a mechanical stop to set the end position and does not function as a lock or brake to hold the load without air pressure.
