The AirTAC Airtac SAUJ63 Adjustable Pneumatic Cylinder SAUJ63X55-20S is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 55mm stroke, 3/8" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its hard-anodized aluminum-profile barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore, and it shares SC-series mounting accessories.
The AirTAC SAUJ63X55-20S is a double-acting, single-rod profile cylinder with an on-site extend stroke adjustment window of 20 mm. You can trim the nominal 55 mm stroke down to a 35 mm working length via the external stop screw. It features a 63 mm bore, a 3/8" port, and a built-in piston magnet for position sensing.
This compact extruded-aluminum body is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. It delivers a 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa, giving a safe working load of roughly 935 N or a 79 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The -S suffix enables CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches, while Viton H seals can raise the operating temperature to 150 C.

Related SAU-family variants: SAUD (double rod), SAUJ (adjustable stroke), SAUF (with built-in solenoid valve), and SAU-S with built-in magnet. Seals: TPU (blank) / Viton H / NBR N. Sensor switches: CMSG / DMSG / EMSG.
Allows operators to dial in the exact 35 to 55 mm extend position for inserting delicate bearings without bottoming out the tooling.
Provides adjustable pusher length for routing varying package sizes on a packaging line without swapping the entire actuator.
Sets a precise physical end-stop for pallets on a roller bed, fine-tuning the halt position by up to 20 mm during commissioning.
Size this 63 mm bore against its neighbors: a 50 mm bore gives 982 N push at 0.5 MPa, while an 80 mm bore yields 2513 N. Choose the SAUJ over a fixed SAU when your assembly requires minor extend length tuning without buying a new cylinder. The 20 mm adjust window is ideal for final machine timing. It supports basic, FA, and LB mounts compatible with the AirTAC SC series. The -S magnet allows electronic sensor mounting. For this 55 mm stroke, side-load is minimal, but always guide the load externally on longer strokes.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 1559 N and pulls 1402 N. Push force is 2182 N at 0.7 MPa and 2805 N at 0.9 MPa, with a theoretical max of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The nominal extend stroke is 55 mm, and the external stop screw lets you shorten it by up to 20 mm on-site, yielding a usable range of 35 to 55 mm.
The external stop screw physically limits the piston extension to set the end position, but it is not a load lock. The cylinder drifts on air loss, and the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end. For load holding, use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. The -S suffix denotes a built-in magnet for mounting CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
