The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ63 Adjustable Stroke Air Cylinder SAIJ63AX280-20S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 280mm 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 SAIJ63X280-20-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster. It provides a 260-280mm usable travel window, allowing you to dial back the nominal 280mm stroke by up to 20mm during commissioning. Delivering a 1559N pull force at 0.5MPa, it is built with a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod and includes a magnet for position sensing.
This model uses PT tapered ports and supports AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors via its dual-side barrel grooves. The rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop to set the end position; it does not hold the load without live air. For load-holding requirements, consider the SAIL or BSAI series instead.

Fine-tune the 260-280mm travel window during product size transitions without swapping the cylinder or bolting on external stoppers.
Dial in the exact retract position on packaging lines to accommodate different carton sizes on the fly.
Set precise end-of-stroke positions during initial commissioning to perfectly time part placement and pressing operations.
Choose this 63mm bore cylinder when your application requires 1559N pull force at 0.5MPa and on-the-fly end-position tuning without adding external stops. If your setup demands less force, the 50mm bore provides 825N pull; if you need more, the 80mm bore offers 2268N pull. The adjustable stroke is ideal for machine changeovers, whereas a fixed SAI cylinder suits dedicated single-purpose lines.
Because the 280mm stroke is relatively long, the 20mm piston rod and M16x1.5 thread provide robust support, but an external guide rail is recommended to prevent excessive side loading. Ensure your ISO 15552 replacement matches the 63mm bore, 280mm stroke, PT G3/8 ports, and the SAIJ mounting set (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2).
Quick checklist
The rear adjuster screw lets you shorten the effective stroke by up to 20mm, creating a 260-280mm usable travel window. It acts as a mechanical stop for end-position tuning and does not lock or hold the load without continuous air pressure.
At 0.5MPa it provides 1559N pull force and 2182N push force. At 0.7MPa, the push force increases to 2805N. The maximum operating pressure is 1.0MPa.
