The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ63 Adjustable Stroke Air Cylinder SAIJ63AX280-30 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 SAIJ63X280-30 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that allows you to fine-tune the travel window from 250 to 280 mm during commissioning. It delivers a robust 2182 N push force at 0.7 MPa, making it well-suited for mid-range industrial actuation. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for flexible positioning of CMSE reed or DMSE electronic switches.
This variant uses a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (option A) for improved corrosion resistance compared to standard carbon steel. The rear adjuster functions strictly as a travel stop to dial in the end position without swapping the cylinder, while the variable air cushions at both ends manage end-of-stroke deceleration. Neither the adjuster nor the cushion holds the load without live air pressure.

Dial in the 250-280 mm travel window during product size changes to set exact end positions without adding external mechanical stops.
Leverage the 2182 N push force at 0.7 MPa to press or position components, using the rear screw to fine-tune the final resting point.
Adjust the actuation length on the fly to accommodate different package sizes on a sorting line, ensuring precise physical contact.
Choose this 63 mm bore if you need higher thrust than the 50 mm option (1374 N push at 0.7 MPa) but want to avoid the bulk of the 80 mm version (3518 N). The 30 mm adjustment window is ideal for product changeovers where exact end-positioning matters, saving the downtime of physically swapping a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder. Because the 280 mm stroke is substantial, always use an external guide to support the load and mitigate side-load stress on the M16x1.5 rod thread. If your application requires true load-holding without continuous air pressure, step up to the SAIL (air-released lock) or BSAI (clamp-lock) series instead of relying on the adjuster. This model is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 and uses a PT tapered G3/8 port, with mounting options limited to Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.
Quick checklist
At a 0.7 MPa operating pressure, this 63 mm bore cylinder generates 2182 N of push force and 1402 N of pull force. It can reach up to 2805 N push at 0.9 MPa.
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop, allowing you to shorten the effective travel from the nominal 280 mm down to 250 mm. This enables precise end-position tuning at commissioning without replacing the cylinder.
