The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ63 Adjustable Stroke Air Cylinder SAIJ63AX250-40S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 250mm 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 SAIJ63X250-40-S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster. It delivers a robust 2805N push force at 0.9 MPa and provides a usable travel window of 210 to 250 mm, letting you trim the nominal 250 mm stroke by up to 40 mm. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, and this variant includes a magnet for position detection.
Equipped with a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (option A) and PT tapered ports, it is built for durability. The rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop to fine-tune the end position during commissioning without adding external stops. It is not a lock; the cylinder cannot hold a load without live air pressure, so for fail-safe load holding, consider the SAIL or BSAI series.

Dial in the exact retract position within the 210-250 mm window during machine setup, eliminating the need to machine custom spacers for every new product size.
Quickly adjust the stroke stopper when switching product families on a conveyor line, reducing downtime and ensuring precise mechanical positioning.
Fine-tune the end-of-stroke position during commissioning to control pressing or clamping forces accurately without replacing the entire ISO 15552 cylinder.
Choose this 63 mm bore when you need significantly more thrust than the 50 mm bore (which provides 1767N push at 0.9 MPa) but want to avoid the larger footprint of the 80 mm option. The adjustable stroke is ideal for product changeovers on a line, allowing you to dial in the exact end-stop without swapping the cylinder. Since this is a 250 mm stroke, the 20 mm rod and M16x1.5 thread handle moderate side loads, but for long unsupported strokes, an external guide is recommended to prevent rod wear.
For a true ISO 15552 replacement match, ensure your setup uses a 63 mm bore, 250 mm nominal stroke, 40 mm adjustment range, PT ports, and a magnet for CMSE or DMSE sensors. The SAIJ mounting set includes Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 options, omitting the FB, CA, CB, and CR styles found on some other series.
Quick checklist
At an operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, this 63 mm bore cylinder generates a push force of 2805N and a pull force of 1402N. The maximum push force is 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The rear adjusting screw allows you to shorten the effective travel from the 250 mm nominal stroke by up to 40 mm, providing a usable window of 210 to 250 mm. This stopper only sets the travel end and does not lock the load without air pressure.
