The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125AX160-30 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 160mm 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 SAIJ125X160-30 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster. It delivers 6136N of push force at 0.5MPa and provides a usable travel window of 130-160mm, allowing you to trim up to 30mm of the nominal stroke during commissioning without adding external stops. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, and this specific configuration uses a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance.
This model operates at 30-500mm/s and uses PT tapered G1/2 ports. The rear adjuster acts purely as a travel stop to fine-tune the retract end position and is not a lock, meaning the cylinder cannot hold a load without live air pressure. It supports a reduced mounting set of Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, omitting FB and rear pivot options.

Dial in the exact 130 to 160mm clamping depth during machine setup to accommodate different part lengths without swapping cylinders.
Quickly fine-tune the retract position by up to 30mm on a packaging line when switching between product sizes.
Precisely set the bottoming force and travel distance for press-fit operations, relying on the rear stopper for exact end-position tuning.
Choose this 125mm bore when a 100mm bore (providing 3927N push at 0.5MPa) is insufficient, but a 160mm bore (delivering 10053N) would be overkill. The adjustable 130-160mm travel window is ideal for product changeovers where exact end-of-stroke positioning varies slightly between batches. If you need to hold a load without continuous air pressure, select the SAIL or BSAI series instead, as the SAIJ rear screw is only a stop. When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 160mm stroke, 30mm adjustment, PT port, and desired mounting. Because the stroke is 160mm, ensure external guides support any side loads.
Quick checklist
At 0.5MPa operating pressure, it provides 6136N of push force and 5734N of pull force. At 0.9MPa, the push force increases to 11045N.
The rear adjuster lets you shorten the 160mm nominal stroke by up to 30mm, creating a usable travel window of 130-160mm. It acts as a mechanical stop to fine-tune the end position and does not lock the load without air pressure.
