The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125AX180-20 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 SAIJ125X180-20 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster. It provides a nominal 180 mm stroke that can be dialed back by up to 20 mm, giving you a precise 160-180 mm usable travel window for fine-tuning end positions at commissioning. In the 125 mm bore class, it delivers 6136 N of push force and 5734 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa.
This model is configured with a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (material code A) for enhanced corrosion resistance and features PT tapered port threads. It uses a reduced mounting set (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2) and omits the FB, CA, CB, and CR footprints. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, though this specific SKU is supplied without a magnet for position sensing.

Dial in the 160-180 mm travel window during product size changeovers to set new end positions without replacing the cylinder.
Fine-tune the retract stop during commissioning to perfect the mechanical alignment of heavy 125 mm bore tooling.
Adjust the stroke on the fly for varying material thicknesses in heavy assembly presses without bolting on external stops.
Choose this adjustable-stroke model when your machine setup requires variable end stops or product-size changeovers without swapping the entire cylinder or adding external stops. If you need less force, stepping down to an 80 mm bore yields 2513 N at 0.5 MPa; if your application demands more power, a 160 mm bore provides 10053 N. Because the 180 mm stroke is relatively short for this large bore, side-loading is less of a concern than with longer travels, but the robust 32 mm rod and M27x2 thread still handle substantial side loads.
When specifying a replacement, ensure you match the 125 mm bore, 180 mm stroke, 20 mm adjustment range, PT G1/2 port, and the desired mounting style. Remember that a plain SAIJ does not hold its load without live air pressure—the rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock. For true load-holding without continuous air, consider the SAIL or BSAI series instead.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, this 125 mm bore cylinder provides 6136 N of push force and 5734 N of pull force. At the maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa, it delivers up to 1251 kgf.
A rear stopper screw lets you mechanically shorten the 180 mm nominal stroke by up to 20 mm, creating a 160-180 mm usable travel window. This allows you to fine-tune the end position during setup without changing the cylinder itself.
