The AirTAC Airtac SAI125 Standard Air Cylinder SAI125X240S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 240mm 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 SAI125X240-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation. Delivering a robust 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this 125 mm bore unit is built to handle substantial loads across its 240 mm stroke. The extruded aluminum barrel design omits tie-rods, providing a clean profile that drops directly into standardized ISO 15552 mounting footprints.
Configured with a magnetic piston (-S), this model supports position detection via CMSE or DMSE reed switches fitted into the sensor grooves on both sides of the barrel. It utilizes a standard carbon steel piston rod and a PT tapered port thread. For environments requiring flame resistance or chemical stability, the seal configuration can be upgraded from standard TPU to NBR or high-temperature Viton (H).

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 high thrust necessary for pressing, forming, and stamping rigid metal components in automated fabrication lines.
Actuates heavy injection molds or tooling fixtures, utilizing the magnetic piston for precise end-of-stroke confirmation.
Drives robust routing arms or stops to redirect heavy pallets along high-capacity material handling conveyors.
Selecting this 125 mm bore is ideal when a 100 mm bore (offering 3927 N at 0.5 MPa) cannot generate sufficient thrust, but you want to avoid the mass and air consumption of a 160 mm cylinder. Because this model features a 240 mm stroke, it remains well within standard structural limits without requiring external guide rods to prevent rod-bearing bending.
As a true ISO 15552 cylinder, it serves as a seamless, dimensionally interchangeable replacement for competing brands utilizing the same standard. To integrate this unit, specify the G1/2 port, select your preferred mounting accessory (such as LB foot or TC trunnion), and ensure the -S magnet option is paired with appropriate CMSE or DMSE sensors. Note that the adjustable air cushions decelerate the piston at stroke ends but do not function as a locking mechanism; if pneumatic pressure is lost, the load will drift. Use the SAIL or BSAI variant if dead-end holding is required.
Quick checklist
At a 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 125 mm bore cylinder generates 6136 N of push force and 5734 N of pull force. If pressure is increased to 0.7 MPa, the push force rises to 8590 N.
Yes. The SAI125X240-S is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 standards. You can drop it into existing mounts matching that interface, provided you accommodate the G1/2 port size.
