The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125AX170-40 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 170mm 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 SAIJ125X170-40 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster. It provides a usable travel window of 130 to 170 mm, allowing you to dial back the nominal 170 mm stroke by up to 40 mm during commissioning without adding external stops. Built with a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod, it delivers 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa.
This model utilizes PT tapered port threads and includes variable air cushions at both ends to manage deceleration. The extruded aluminum barrel incorporates sensor grooves on both sides, enabling direct mounting of CMSE reed or DMSE electronic switches if a magnet is specified later. It supports a reduced mounting set of Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.

Dial in the exact retract distance between 130 and 170 mm on packaging equipment to accommodate varying carton sizes without swapping hardware.
Fine-tune the end position during product line changeovers, using the 40 mm rear adjustment window to rapidly align tooling without external spacers.
Leverage the 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa for pressing operations, adjusting the stroke to control the exact depth of engagement for different parts.
Select this 125 mm bore cylinder when an application requires substantial thrust (6136 N at 0.5 MPa) alongside precise end-position tuning. If your process needs less force, stepping down to a 100 mm bore yields 3927 N, while a 160 mm bore provides 10053 N for heavier loads. Choose the SAIJ adjustable version over a fixed SAI cylinder when accommodating product size changeovers or fine-tuning machine setup.
When matching this ISO 15552 dimensionally interchangeable cylinder, verify the 170 mm stroke, 40 mm adjustment, PT ports, and mounting style. Note that the rear adjuster acts only as a travel stop and does not hold the load without live air; for true load-holding, consider an external rod lock, SAIL, or BSAI. Since the stroke is under 300 mm, side-load stress is moderate, but an external guide remains recommended for heavy loads.
Quick checklist
The rear adjuster screw allows you to shorten the effective travel from the 170 mm nominal stroke down to 130 mm, providing a 40 mm tuning window. It acts as a mechanical stop to set the end position and does not lock the load without live air pressure.
At a 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the SAIJ125X170-40 provides 6136 N of push force and 5734 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 8590 N.
