The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ63 Adjustable Stroke Air Cylinder SAIJ63AX400-20 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 400mm 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 SAIJ63X400-20 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster. It provides a 380-400 mm usable travel window, allowing you to dial back the nominal 400 mm stroke by up to 20 mm during commissioning. Delivering 2182 N of push force at 0.7 MPa, it fits mid-range automation tasks perfectly.
This variant uses a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod for enhanced corrosion resistance and features PT tapered port threads. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for flexible mounting of CMSE reed or DMSE electronic switches. The rear adjuster acts purely as a travel stop for end-position tuning, not as a lock to hold the load without live air pressure.

Fine-tune the 380-400 mm travel window during product size transitions without physically replacing the cylinder or adding external mechanical stops.
Dial in the exact retract position on automated machining lines to compensate for mechanical wear or tooling offsets.
Adjust the stroke end-point on sorting conveyors to handle different package sizes accurately on the fly.
Select this 63 mm bore when an application requires 2182 N push force at 0.7 MPa (or 2805 N at 0.9 MPa) and exact end-position tuning without swapping cylinders. If you need less force, the 50 mm bore offers 1374 N at 0.7 MPa; for heavier loads, the 80 mm bore provides 3518 N. Because the 400 mm stroke is relatively long, an external guide is recommended to prevent excessive side-loading on the 20 mm rod and M16x1.5 rod thread.
An adjustable stroke is ideal for machine setups requiring variable end-stops during product changeovers. For load-holding without continuous air pressure, this cylinder is not suitable—consider the SAIL (air-released lock) or BSAI (clamp-lock) series instead. To match this ISO 15552 replacement, specify: 63 mm bore, 400 mm stroke, 20 mm adjustment, PT ports, Basic/FA/LB/TC/FTC/TCM1/TCM2 mountings, and no magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, this 63 mm bore cylinder generates 2182 N of push force and 1402 N of pull force. At 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 2805 N.
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop that lets you shorten the effective travel from the 400 mm nominal stroke down to 380 mm. It only sets the end-position and does not lock or hold the load without live air pressure.
