The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125AX170-40S 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-S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It delivers a robust 8590 N push force at 0.7 MPa, making it well-suited for heavy-duty positioning tasks. The barrel is extruded aluminum, not a tie-rod design, ensuring a rigid yet lightweight structure.
This specific SKU provides a usable travel window of 130 to 170 mm, allowing you to trim the nominal 170 mm stroke back by up to 40 mm during commissioning. It includes a magnet for position sensing and features a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (material code A) for enhanced corrosion resistance. The PT tapered port threads and integrated sensor grooves on both sides further streamline installation and maintenance.

Dial in the exact retract distance within the 130-170 mm window during product size changes without replacing the actuator.
Leverage the 8590 N push force at 0.7 MPa to move heavy pallets or fixtures into their exact end-stop location.
Use the 40 mm rear adjustment screw to fine-tune the end position during setup, absorbing mechanical tolerances in the machine frame.
Choose this 125 mm bore when 80 mm falls short—delivering 8590 N at 0.7 MPa versus the 80 mm bore's 3518 N—or step down if your application requires less force. The adjustable stroke is ideal for product changeover, letting you fine-tune the retract end position without swapping the cylinder or adding external stops. For strokes of 170 mm, the 32 mm rod diameter handles moderate side loads, but an external guide is recommended for heavy off-center loads.
When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 125 mm bore, 170 mm stroke, 40 mm adjustment, PT G1/2 port, and the -S magnet. Note that the rear adjuster acts only as a travel stop, not a lock; the cylinder will not hold a load without live air. For true load-holding without pressure, consider the SAIL or BSAI series. SAIJ supports Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 mounts, omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, this 125 mm bore cylinder provides 8590 N of push force and 5734 N of pull force. It can reach a maximum of 11045 N push at 0.9 MPa.
The rear adjuster screw lets you shorten the effective travel from the 170 mm nominal stroke down to 130 mm. It functions as a mechanical stop to set the retract end position and does not lock the load without continuous air pressure.
