The AirTAC Airtac SAI125 Standard Air Cylinder SAI125AX40 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 40mm 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 SAI125X40 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for high-force tasks, delivering a push force of 6136 N at 0.5 MPa and 8590 N at 0.7 MPa. Its 40 mm stroke provides rapid, short-travel actuation for heavy-duty clamping or holding tasks. The extruded aluminum barrel design omits tie rods, offering a clean exterior that is dimensionally interchangeable with other ISO 15552 cylinders.
This specific configuration features a SUS420J2 stainless steel piston rod (material code A) for superior corrosion resistance and mechanical durability. It utilizes PT tapered port threads and lacks a magnet (-S omitted), making it ideal for environments where magnetic sensing is not required. For high-temperature environments up to 70 C, the standard TPU seals can be swapped for Viton (H) alternatives.

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 8590 N force at 0.7 MPa needed for short-stroke metal stamping and forming operations in fabrication lines.
Ideal for securing heavy workpieces during machining, utilizing the 125 mm bore's high thrust in a compact 40 mm travel distance.
Drives short-travel press assemblies where substantial impact force must be applied quickly and reliably.
Choose this 125 mm bore when 100 mm (offering 3927 N at 0.5 MPa) cannot generate enough thrust for your heavy-load application. If you require less force and faster cycling, stepping down to the 100 mm bore is recommended. The 40 mm stroke is optimal for compact, high-force movements where a longer piston travel is unnecessary.
Because the standard SAI cylinder does not hold its position pneumatically when air pressure is removed, the piston will drift if a load is suspended. For applications requiring fail-safe load holding without live pressure, integrate the SAIL (air-released lock) variant or an external pilot-operated check valve. This model is a direct drop-in replacement per ISO 15552 mounting dimensions, utilizing a G1/2 port, PT threads, and standard FA/FB flange or TC trunnion accessories.
Quick checklist
The SAI125X40 generates a push force of 6136 N at 0.5 MPa and 8590 N at 0.7 MPa, with a pull force of 5734 N at 0.5 MPa.
Yes, the SAI125X40 is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 standards. It uses a G1/2 port and standard mounting interfaces, allowing it to serve as a drop-in replacement for other ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
