The AirTAC Airtac SAI125 Standard Air Cylinder SAI125AX40S 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-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for high-force tasks, delivering a push force of 6136 N and a pull force of 5734 N at 0.5 MPa. Its short 40 mm stroke provides rapid, high-impact actuation for heavy clamping or pressing duties.
This specific configuration includes a SUS420J2 stainless steel piston rod (material code A) for superior corrosion resistance and structural rigidity. It is factory-fitted with a magnet (-S), allowing seamless integration with CMSE and DMSE sensor switches housed in the dual-side grooves of the extruded aluminum barrel.

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.
Executes high-force, short-stroke stamping and marking operations on thick metal sheets, utilizing 6136 N of thrust at just 0.5 MPa.
Drives large-scale robotic clamping jaws that require rapid, heavy-duty actuation to secure bulky industrial components during machining.
Delivers concentrated impact force to press bearings, bushings, and pins into heavy housings without requiring a full hydraulic system.
Choose this 125 mm bore when 100 mm (3927 N push at 0.5 MPa) is insufficient for your workload, but before stepping up to the massive 160 mm class. The short 40 mm stroke minimizes rod-bearing bending under heavy eccentric loads, though external guides are always recommended for precise pressing alignment.
As a dimensionally interchangeable ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it serves as a direct drop-in replacement for other ISO 15552 standard cylinders. It utilizes a PT tapered G1/2 port, supports TC or FA mounting accessories, and requires no special adapters for standardized ISO footprints. Note that this standard cylinder relies on air pressure to maintain position; it will drift if pressure is lost, so consider the SAIL variant if your application requires a mechanical lock.
Quick checklist
At a 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the SAI125X40-S generates a push force of 6136 N and a pull force of 5734 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 8590 N.
No, the standard SAI cylinder uses adjustable air cushions to decelerate the piston at stroke ends, but it cannot hold a load without live air pressure. For vertical load-holding, use the SAIL (air-released lock) variant or an external rod lock.
