The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ63 Adjustable Stroke Air Cylinder SAIJ63X270-40S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 270mm 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 SAIJ63X270-40-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that allows you to fine-tune the effective travel window between 230 and 270 mm without adding external stops. Delivering a push force of 1559 N at 0.5 MPa (or 2805 N at 0.9 MPa), it provides robust performance for mid-range automation tasks. The integrated -S magnet enables precise end-position detection using CMSE reed or DMSE electronic sensors.
This model uses a carbon steel piston rod with an M16x1.5 thread, paired with a G3/8 PT port to handle the required air volume. It features variable air cushions at both ends (36 mm cushion length) to absorb kinetic energy. The rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop to set the end position; it does not lock the load, so live air pressure must be maintained to hold a position.

Dial in the 230-270 mm travel window during format changes on a packaging line without physically replacing the cylinder.
Fine-tune the retract end position during machine commissioning to perfect the seating of a 1559 N press operation.
Adjust the stroke dynamically for parts of varying heights on an assembly conveyor without adding external mechanical stops.
Choose this 63 mm bore when your application requires the 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa, stepping up from a 50 mm bore (982 N) for heavier payloads, or down from an 80 mm bore (2513 N) to save space and air volume. The 40 mm adjustment range is ideal for machine setups requiring frequent product-size changeovers, allowing you to dial in the exact end-stop without swapping out the entire cylinder for a fixed-stroke SAI variant.
Because the 270 mm stroke exceeds the 250 mm threshold, the M16x1.5 carbon steel rod will experience higher leverage forces if subjected to off-axis loads; an external guide rail is recommended to prevent premature seal wear. For load-holding without live air pressure, this cylinder is insufficient as the adjuster is only a stop, so you should explore the SAIL (air-released lock) or BSAI (clamp-lock) series instead. This SAIJ model shares the standard ISO 15552 mounting interface but supports a reduced set of accessories: Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.
Quick checklist
At a 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 63 mm bore cylinder generates a push force of 1559 N and a pull force of 1402 N. If you increase the pressure to 0.9 MPa, the push force reaches 2805 N.
The rear adjusting screw acts as a mechanical stopper that lets you shorten the nominal 270 mm stroke by up to 40 mm, providing a usable travel window of 230 to 270 mm. It is a travel stop, not a lock, so the cylinder requires live air to hold its position.
