The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125AX165-100S 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-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that allows you to trim the nominal 165 mm travel back by up to 100 mm. This creates a highly flexible 65-165 mm usable window, letting you dial in the exact retract end-position at commissioning without swapping the hardware or adding external stops. It delivers a robust 8590 N pull force at 0.7 MPa, making it suitable for heavy-duty positioning tasks.
This specific configuration includes a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (option A) for enhanced corrosion resistance and a built-in magnet (-S) that operates seamlessly with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic solid-state sensors housed in the dual-side extruded aluminum barrel grooves. The 32 mm rod and M27x2 thread provide excellent structural rigidity, though unsupported loads still require an external guide. The rear adjuster acts purely as a travel stop to set deceleration, so it will not hold a load without live air pressure.

Set precise retract distances between 65 and 165 mm on packaging lines to accommodate different carton sizes without physically repositioning the cylinder mount.
Leverage the 8590 N pull force at 0.7 MPa to move heavy jigs, using the 100 mm adjustment window to fine-tune the final resting position during product line transitions.
Utilize the SUS420J2 stainless steel rod in humid manufacturing environments to push or pull components reliably while maintaining structural integrity.
Choose this 125 mm bore when a 100 mm bore (providing 5497 N push at 0.7 MPa) lacks the necessary thrust, but you want to avoid stepping up to a 160 mm bore that would demand significantly more space and air volume. An adjustable stroke is ideal here over a fixed SAI cylinder when your application requires frequent product-size changeovers or variable end-stops on a single machine bed. To replace this ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 125 mm bore, 165 mm stroke, 100 mm adjustment range, PT tapered port thread, SUS420J2 rod, and -S magnet. Mounting options include Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. Because the stroke is under 300 mm, side-load risks are lower, but external guiding is still recommended for heavy lateral loads. For load-holding without live pressure, consider the SAIL or BSAI series, as the SAIJ rear stop is not a lock.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, this 125 mm bore cylinder provides 8590 N of push force and 8590 N of pull force. It can achieve a maximum push force of 11045 N at 0.9 MPa.
The rear adjuster acts as a mechanical stop, allowing you to shorten the 165 mm nominal stroke by up to 100 mm, creating a 65-165 mm usable travel window. It sets the end-position and deceleration but does not lock the load without continuous air pressure.
