The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ63 Adjustable Stroke Air Cylinder SAIJ63AX290-20 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 290mm 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 SAIJ63X290-20 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that allows you to fine-tune the effective travel window down to 270-290 mm without swapping the unit. Built with a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod and PT tapered ports, it delivers 2182 N of push force at 0.7 MPa. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for flexible mounting of CMSE reed or DMSE electronic switches.
This adjustable-stroke model uses a rear mechanical stopper to set the end position, meaning the adjuster and the variable air cushions control travel deceleration but do not function as a lock. For load-holding without live air pressure, consider the related SAIL or BSAI series. The SAIJ mounting set includes Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR.

Dial in the exact retract distance within the 270-290 mm window during machine commissioning to perfect product handling without adding external stopper blocks.
Quickly adjust the stroke end-stop on automated lines when switching between product sizes, saving downtime on mechanical retooling.
Fine-tune the travel distance on automated assembly presses to accommodate varying component heights and ensure consistent clamping force.
Choose this 63 mm bore when you need more thrust than the 50 mm version (1374 N push at 0.7 MPa) but want to avoid the larger footprint of the 80 mm option. An adjustable stroke is ideal for machine setup and product changeover, letting you dial in the exact end-stop during commissioning rather than machining external stops. When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 63 mm bore, 290 mm stroke, 20 mm adjustment, PT ports, and your required mounting accessory.
Because the 290 mm stroke is relatively long, the 20 mm piston rod is subject to increased side-loading leverage; an external guide rail is recommended to prevent binding. Remember that a plain SAIJ cylinder will not hold its load statically without live air pressure.
Quick checklist
The SAIJ63X290-20 delivers a push force of 2182 N and a pull force of 1402 N at 0.7 MPa operating pressure, with a maximum thrust of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The rear adjuster acts as a mechanical stopper, allowing you to shorten the nominal 290 mm stroke by up to 20 mm, creating an effective travel window of 270-290 mm for fine-tuning end positions.
