The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125AX160-40 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 SAIJ125X160-40 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, allowing you to dial back the nominal 160 mm travel by up to 40 mm. This creates a precise 120-160 mm usable stroke window, giving you the flexibility to fine-tune end positions at commissioning without swapping out the entire actuator. Delivering 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it is built for heavy-duty positioning tasks.
This model features a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (material code A) for enhanced corrosion resistance and pairs with PT tapered port threads. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, and while this specific SKU lacks a magnet, the design supports AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors when a magnetized version is specified. It utilizes a reduced mounting subset of Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.

Quickly reconfigure the 120-160 mm travel window on packaging lines when handling different carton sizes, eliminating the need for mechanical stop replacements.
Leverage the 6136 N push force to secure heavy workpieces during machining, using the rear adjuster to dial in the exact clamp position without over-stroking.
Fine-tune the retract end-position during initial machine commissioning to perfect timing sequences, avoiding the cost of ordering custom-length fixed-stroke SAI cylinders.
Choose this 125 mm bore when you need substantial thrust—stepping down to an 80 mm bore drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 2513 N, while moving up to a 160 mm bore yields 10053 N. The adjustable stroke is ideal for product changeovers on a line, letting you set a variable end-stop on the fly instead of machining external stops. Keep in mind the rear adjuster acts purely as a travel stop and does not hold the load without live air; for true pneumatic locking, consider the SAIL or BSAI series. Because the 160 mm stroke is relatively short for this bore, side-load risks are minimal, but an external guide is still recommended for heavy lateral loads.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 125 mm bore cylinder provides 6136 N of push force and 5734 N of pull force. It can reach a maximum push force of 11045 N at 0.9 MPa.
The rear adjuster screw allows you to shorten the effective travel from the nominal 160 mm down to 120 mm. This creates a 120-160 mm usable stroke window for fine-tuning the end position without changing the cylinder itself.
