The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125AX165-100 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 165mm 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 SAIJ125X165-100 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, allowing you to dial back the nominal 165 mm travel by up to 100 mm. This creates a highly flexible 65-165 mm usable stroke window for precise end-position tuning during commissioning. It delivers robust thrust, providing 6136 N of pull force and 8590 N of push force at 0.7 MPa.
This unit features a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance and uses PT tapered port threads. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for flexible switch mounting. Note that the rear adjuster acts purely as a travel stop to set deceleration, not as a lock; it will not hold a load without continuous live air pressure.

Quickly reconfigure the 65-165 mm stroke window on packaging lines when switching to different carton or part sizes without changing the cylinder.
Fine-tune the exact retract position during machine commissioning to perfect part seating or pressing operations using the rear stopper.
Leverage the 8590 N push force at 0.7 MPa for light pressing or forming tasks where the exact bottoming position varies per batch.
Choose this 125 mm bore when an 80 mm cylinder (delivering 2268 N pull at 0.5 MPa) lacks the force needed to move your load, but a 160 mm bore is physically too large. The generous 100 mm adjustment range is perfect for machines handling frequent product-size changeovers, eliminating the need to physically swap cylinders or bolt on external stoppers. For load-holding requirements without live air, consider an AirTAC SAIL or BSAI series cylinder instead.
When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, verify the 125 mm bore, 165 mm stroke, 100 mm adjustment requirement, PT port threads, and your mounting choice. SAIJ supports Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 mounts, deliberately omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR. Because the 165 mm stroke is relatively short for this bore, side-load stress is minimal, but external guiding remains recommended for heavy radial loads.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, it provides 6136 N of push force and 5734 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 8590 N.
The rear adjuster screw lets you trim the effective travel down from the 165 mm nominal stroke by up to 100 mm, yielding a usable 65-165 mm window. It functions as a mechanical stop and does not lock the load without air pressure.
