The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ63 Adjustable Stroke Air Cylinder SAIJ63AX260-50 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 260mm 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 SAIJ63X260-50 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that allows you to trim the effective travel anywhere within a 210 to 260 mm window. Delivering 1559 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it is built with a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (option A) for enhanced corrosion resistance and features PT tapered port threads.
This adjustable-stroke design eliminates the need to swap cylinders or bolt on external stops during product changeovers. The rear screw acts purely as a travel stop to fine-tune the end position, not as a lock, meaning live air is required to hold the load. It supports a standard speed range of 30-800 mm/s and uses the standard SAIJ mounting set including Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.

Dial in the 210 to 260 mm stroke window during product size transitions to set new end positions rapidly without changing the cylinder.
Use the 50 mm rear adjustment screw to fine-tune the retract position precisely at commissioning for multi-format production lines.
Leverage the 1559 N push force and SUS420J2 stainless rod to dial in exact clamping or positioning distances in varied manufacturing setups.
Select this 63 mm bore cylinder when an application requires precise end-position tuning at commissioning without changing the cylinder, stepping up from a 50 mm bore that provides 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Because the 260 mm stroke exceeds 300 mm is not an issue here, but for any longer unsupported strokes, an external guide is recommended to handle side loads. To match this cylinder exactly for an ISO 15552 replacement, specify the 63 mm bore, 260 mm stroke, 50 mm adjustment, PT port threads, SUS420J2 rod material, and no magnet.
If your process requires the load to be held mechanically without continuous air pressure, a standard SAIJ will not suffice since its adjuster is only a stop. In those cases, consider the SAIL pneumatic lock or BSAI clamp-lock cylinder variants instead.
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. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 2182 N.
The rear adjuster screw allows you to shorten the nominal 260 mm stroke by up to 50 mm, providing an effective travel window of 210 to 260 mm. The adjuster functions as a mechanical stop and does not lock the load without live air pressure.
