The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125AX180-40S 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 SAIJ125X180-40-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that creates a 140-180mm usable travel window. In the standard SAI configuration, this bore generates 6136N of push force and 5734N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. Equipped with a -S magnet, it supports position sensing via AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic solid-state switches installed in the dual-side sensor grooves.
This unit incorporates an SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (material code A) paired with a PT tapered port thread, making it dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 cylinders. The rear adjuster functions strictly as a mechanical stop to fine-tune the retract end position during commissioning. It does not hold the load without live air pressure; for true pneumatic locking, consider the SAIL or BSAI series instead.

Dial in the 140-180mm travel window during machine commissioning to accommodate different material thicknesses without physically swapping the actuator.
Quickly retract the end position by up to 40mm when switching between varying product sizes on a high-throughput conveyor system.
Leverage the 6136N push force at 0.5 MPa to execute robust pressing or clamping tasks while fine-tuning the final stroke position.
Selecting this 125mm bore over a smaller 100mm option steps the thrust up from 3927N to 6136N at 0.5 MPa, providing the necessary force for heavier actuation tasks. The 40mm adjustment range is ideal for variable end-stops and machine setups where product sizes frequently change on the line, eliminating the need to swap out a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder. Because the 180mm stroke is relatively short, external side-load guides are less critical here, though the robust 32mm rod and M27x2 thread naturally handle higher bending loads.
When specifying a replacement, ensure the 125mm bore, 180mm nominal stroke, 40mm adjustment, PT G1/2 port, and -S magnet match your footprint. The SAIJ mounting set includes Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 options, omitting the FB, CA, CB, and CR styles found on some standard cylinders.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 125mm bore double-acting cylinder provides 6136N of push force and 5734N of pull force. It can reach up to 11045N push force at 0.9 MPa.
The rear adjuster acts as a mechanical stop that shortens the 180mm nominal stroke by up to 40mm, creating a 140-180mm usable travel window. It only sets the end position and does not lock or hold the load without continuous air pressure.
