The AirTAC Airtac SAI125 Standard Air Cylinder SAI125AX290S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 290mm 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 SAI125X290-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation. Delivering a push force of 6136 N at 0.5 MPa, this 125 mm bore unit is built to handle substantial loads across its 290 mm stroke. The extruded aluminum barrel design omits tie-rods, providing a clean exterior that drops directly into standardized ISO 15552 mounting footprints.
This specific configuration includes a -S magnet for direct compatibility with CMSE and DMSE sensor switches, which seat neatly into the dual side grooves on the barrel. The piston rod is constructed from SUS420J2 stainless steel (material code A), offering excellent resistance to corrosion and moisture in demanding environments. Fluid ports feature PT tapered threading, and the cylinder integrates adjustable air cushions at both ends to decelerate the payload smoothly.

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 robust 6136 N push force required to actuate large pressing and stamping dies in metal fabrication lines.
The SUS420J2 stainless rod withstands high heat and resin off-gassing when extracting heavy molded parts from injection machinery.
Ideal for lifting and positioning heavy pallets or product totes, utilizing the integrated magnet for precise end-of-stroke confirmation.
Selecting this 125 mm bore is ideal when a 100 mm bore cylinder lacks sufficient thrust, as stepping up from a 100 mm bore (3927 N at 0.5 MPa) to this 125 mm size provides a significant jump to 6136 N at 0.5 MPa. Conversely, if your application only requires 2513 N at 0.5 MPa, dropping down to an 80 mm bore will save physical space and air consumption.
Because this model features a 290 mm stroke, the unsupported length of the piston rod during extension requires careful consideration. Side loads can cause rod-bearing bending and premature wear; utilizing an external guide rail or a fully guided cylinder is strongly recommended to keep the load perfectly aligned. Furthermore, standard double-acting cylinders drift when air pressure is removed, so if the machinery requires dead-load holding, specify the SAIL variant with an air-released lock or the BSAI bidirectional clamp-lock instead of relying on the air cushion.
Quick checklist
At a 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 125 mm bore cylinder generates a push force of 6136 N and a pull force of 5734 N. If pressure is increased to 0.7 MPa, the push force rises to 8590 N.
Yes, the SAI125X290-S is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 standards. It serves as a drop-in replacement for other ISO 15552 profile cylinders, matching the exact mounting interface and PT port locations.
