The AirTAC Airtac SAI125 Standard Air Cylinder SAI125AX165S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 165mm stroke, G1/2 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 SAI125X165-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation. Delivering a robust 6136 N push force and 5734 N pull force at 0.5 MPa, this 125 mm bore actuator handles substantial loads. The 165 mm stroke provides the extension needed for clamping, lifting, and pressing tasks in demanding environments.
This specific configuration features a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance compared to standard carbon steel. It includes a magnet for position sensing via CMSE or DMSE switches mounted in the dual sensor grooves. The barrel utilizes extruded aluminum and connects via PT tapered ports, ensuring a reliable, leak-free pneumatic seal.

Related SAI-family variants: SAID (double rod), SAIJ (adjustable stroke), SAIL (with lock), SAIF (with valve), BSAI (enclasp / clamp-lock), and SAI-S with built-in magnet. Rod material: carbon steel (blank) / SUS420J2 (A) / SUS304 (B); seals: TPU (blank) / Viton H / NBR N.
Provides the 6136 N push force required to operate mechanical stamping presses and form rigid materials securely.
Lifts and diverts heavy pallets along high-throughput conveyor lines using the 165 mm stroke and robust magnetic sensing.
Manipulates dense automotive subassemblies during machining cells, utilizing the SUS420J2 rod for coolant resistance.
Selecting this 125 mm bore over the smaller 100 mm variant is ideal when you need to step up from 3927 N to 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less force, the 100 mm bore offers a lighter footprint. Because this is a 165 mm stroke, side-load risks are minimal, but always ensure the load is guided to prevent rod-bearing wear.
This model is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, serving as a drop-in replacement for other ISO 15552 profile cylinders. To match this unit, specify a 125 mm bore, 165 mm stroke, G1/2 port, PT thread type, SUS420J2 rod, and the -S magnet option. Note that the standard adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston; they do not hold a load. If pressure drops, the rod will drift. For position holding without live air pressure, use the SAIL (air-released lock) or BSAI (clamp-lock) variant.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 125 mm bore cylinder generates 6136 N of push force and 5734 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 8590 N.
No, the standard SAI cylinder does not hold position without air pressure. The adjustable cushions only decelerate the piston at stroke ends. For fail-safe load holding, use the SAIL or BSAI locking variants.
