The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ63 Adjustable Stroke Air Cylinder SAIJ63X550-50S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 550mm 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 SAIJ63X550-50-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, enabling you to fine-tune the retract end position by up to 50 mm. This yields a usable travel window of 500 to 550 mm, letting you dial in the exact end-of-stroke stop during commissioning without adding external stops. It delivers a robust push force of 2182 N at 0.7 MPa, making it well-suited for mid-range actuation tasks.
This variant includes a standard -S magnet for position sensing with AirTAC CMSE reed or DMSE electronic solid-state switches fitted into the dual-side sensor grooves on the extruded aluminum barrel. It uses a G3/8 port and a 20 mm carbon steel rod with an M16x1.5 thread. The rear adjuster acts purely as a travel stop and works alongside the standard adjustable air cushions at both ends; it is not a lock and will not hold a load without live air pressure.

Dial in the 500-550 mm retract stop during product size changes without swapping the cylinder or bolting on external physical stops.
Fine-tune the exact end-of-stroke contact point at commissioning to absorb mechanical tolerances across the tooling layout.
Adjust the travel window on a sorting line to push varying package lengths accurately without reprogramming the entire machine.
Choose this 63 mm bore when you need higher thrust than a 50 mm bore (which provides 1374 N at 0.7 MPa) but want to avoid the bulk of an 80 mm bore (3518 N at 0.7 MPa). The adjustable 500-550 mm travel window is ideal for product changeovers or fine-tuning end positions on the fly, offering flexibility a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder cannot match. For applications requiring the load to be held safely without continuous air pressure, this cylinder is not sufficient; consider the SAIL (air-released lock) or BSAI (clamp-lock) series instead.
When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 63 mm bore, 550 mm nominal stroke, 50 mm adjustment range, G3/8 PT tapered port, and the -S magnet requirement. Because the 550 mm stroke is long, the 20 mm rod can experience leverage forces; ensure you use an external guide rail to prevent side-load damage to the seals and rod bearing.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, this 63 mm bore cylinder generates a push force of 2182 N and a pull force of 1402 N. It can deliver up to 2805 N at its maximum 0.9 MPa pressure.
The rear adjuster screw lets you shorten the effective stroke by up to 50 mm, providing a usable travel window of 500 to 550 mm. The adjuster is a mechanical stop for end-position tuning and does not lock or hold the load without live air pressure.
