The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ63 Adjustable Stroke Air Cylinder SAIJ63X135-50 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 135mm 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 SAIJ63X135-50 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster. It provides a usable travel window of 85 to 135 mm, allowing you to dial back the nominal 135 mm stroke by up to 50 mm during commissioning without adding external stops. This 63 mm bore generates 2182 N of push force and 1402 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, matching the standard SAI output class.
The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for direct mounting of CMSE reed or DMSE electronic switches if a magnet is specified later. Unlike fixed-stroke SAI units, this adjustable variant uses a reduced mounting subset (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2) and omits FB, CA, CB, and CR brackets. The rear stopper screw merely sets the end position; it does not lock the load, so you must maintain live air pressure to hold position.

Fine-tune the retract end-stop within the 85-135 mm window during format size changes on a packaging line, eliminating the need to physically swap cylinders between product runs.
Dial in the exact retraction distance required for feeding different material lengths into a press, using the 50 mm adjustment range to adapt the stroke on the fly.
Set precise end-of-stroke positions during initial commissioning to accommodate varying part tolerances, ensuring perfect clamping force without adding bulky external stopper blocks.
Choose this 63 mm bore over the smaller 50 mm option (which yields 1374 N push at 0.5 MPa) when your process needs extra force margin, or step up to the 80 mm class (3518 N push) if moving heavier pallets. The 50 mm adjustment range is highly effective for product changeovers on packaging lines, letting operators fine-tune the retract end-position rapidly rather than swapping out an entire cylinder for a new fixed-stroke SAI unit.
When ordering, confirm the 135 mm stroke, 50 mm adjuster, G3/8 PT tapered ports, and carbon steel rod. Because the stroke here is 135 mm, an external guide is recommended to manage side loads. If your application requires true load-holding without continuous air pressure, this cylinder will not suffice; look to the SAIL pneumatic lock or BSAI clamp-lock series instead.
Quick checklist
At an operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, this 63 mm bore cylinder generates 2182 N of push force and 1402 N of pull force. It can reach a maximum push force of 2805 N at 0.9 MPa.
A rear-mounted adjusting screw acts as a mechanical stop, allowing you to shorten the effective travel from the 135 mm nominal stroke down to a minimum of 85 mm. This stopper only sets the end position and does not lock or hold the load without continuous air pressure.
