The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125AX180-100S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 180mm 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 SAIJ125X180-100-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, enabling a usable travel window of 80 to 180 mm. It delivers a robust 6136 Newtons of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it suitable for heavy-duty positioning tasks. The extruded aluminum barrel features sensor grooves on both sides, and because this SKU includes the -S magnet option, it integrates seamlessly with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic solid-state switches.
This model features an SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (material code A) for enhanced corrosion resistance in demanding environments. The rear adjuster functions strictly as a mechanical stop to decelerate the travel end, meaning it will not hold a load without continuous live air pressure. For applications requiring true pneumatic load-holding, consider the SAIL or BSAI series instead.

Dial in the exact end-stop during product size changes on a packaging line, utilizing the 80-180 mm travel window to adapt quickly without changing hardware.
Leverage the 6136N pull force to seat heavy components accurately, using the rear adjuster to compensate for mechanical tolerances during initial setup.
Use the -S magnet with DMSE electronic sensors to confirm end positions in automated sorting gates, adjusting the travel limit as needed for different package sizes.
Selecting this 125 mm bore cylinder over a smaller 100 mm option steps the pull force up from 3681N to 6136N at 0.5 MPa, providing substantially higher thrust for heavy actuators. An adjustable stroke is highly beneficial when you need to fine-tune the end position during machine commissioning or product changeovers without physically swapping the cylinder or adding external shims. When specifying a replacement, ensure you match the 180 mm stroke, the 100 mm adjustment range, the PT tapered port thread, and the -S magnet requirement.
Because the 180 mm stroke is relatively long, the 32 mm piston rod should be adequately supported to prevent excessive side-loading and premature seal wear. The SAIJ mounting set includes Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 options, deliberately omitting the FB, CA, CB, and CR variants found on other series.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 125 mm bore cylinder provides 6136 Newtons of pull force and 8590 Newtons of push force. The maximum thrust is 1251 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The rear adjuster screw lets you mechanically shorten the 180 mm nominal stroke by up to 100 mm, creating an 80 to 180 mm usable travel window. It acts as a stop to tune the end position and does not lock the load without live air.
