The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ63 Adjustable Stroke Air Cylinder SAIJ63AX270-40 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 270mm 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 SAIJ63X270-40 is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It delivers a robust 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a 20 mm piston rod and G3/8 porting to handle demanding pneumatic tasks. By turning the rear screw, you achieve a usable travel window of 230 to 270 mm, enabling precise end-position tuning at commissioning without swapping out the entire unit.
This specific configuration features an SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (material code A) for enhanced corrosion resistance alongside PT tapered port threads. The extruded aluminum barrel incorporates sensor grooves on both sides, allowing for direct mounting of AirTAC CMSE reed or DMSE electronic sensors if position feedback is later required.

Quickly reconfigure the 230-270 mm retraction end-stop for varying product lengths on a packaging line without changing the cylinder.
Fine-tune the final end position during initial commissioning to achieve perfect alignment, avoiding the need for external shims.
Dial in the exact clamping depth on automated fixtures where slight adjustments are needed for different material thicknesses.
Selecting this 63 mm bore cylinder makes sense when your application requires the 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa, stepping up from a 50 mm bore that provides 982 N. The adjustable 230-270 mm window is ideal for product changeovers on a line, letting you dial in the exact retraction stop without adding external physical stops. For higher force needs, an 80 mm bore yields 2513 N. Since the 270 mm stroke is substantial, ensure you provide an external guide to support the load and mitigate side-loading on the rod.
This model uses the reduced SAIJ mounting set (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2), omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR brackets. The rear adjuster acts purely as a travel stop and does not hold the load without live air; for true load-holding without pneumatic pressure, consider an AirTAC SAIL or BSAI cylinder. To match this exact unit for an ISO 15552 replacement, specify the 63 mm bore, 270 mm stroke, 40 mm adjustment, PT ports, SUS420J2 rod, and no magnet.
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 its maximum 1.0 MPa pressure, it can deliver up to 318 kgf.
The rear adjuster screw allows you to trim the effective stroke within a 230 to 270 mm window. It functions as a mechanical stop to set the retraction end position, but it is not a lock and will not hold the load without continuous air pressure.
