The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125AX185-40S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 185mm 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 SAIJ125X185-40-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that creates a usable travel window of 145 to 185 mm. It incorporates a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod and a PT tapered port thread. Equipped with a magnet, it integrates seamlessly with CMSE reed and DMSE solid-state sensors mounted in the dual-side extruded aluminum barrel grooves.
Delivering 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and 8590 N at 0.7 MPa, this unit is built for heavy-duty cycling. The rear stopper allows precise end-position tuning during commissioning without adding external stops. It uses the reduced SAIJ mounting set (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2), omitting FB and rear pivot options.

Dial in the 145-185 mm travel window during line format changes without physically swapping the cylinder or adding external mechanical stops.
Fine-tune the retract stroke end during machine commissioning to perfectly time the 6136 N clamping or pressing force.
Leverage the 8590 N thrust at 0.7 MPa for heavy-duty assembly tasks while using the rear adjuster to prevent over-travel.
Choose this 125 mm bore when a 100 mm bore (offering 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa) lacks the necessary thrust, but a 160 mm bore is physically too large. The 40 mm adjustment range is ideal for product changeovers that require slightly different end-stops, functioning as a travel stop rather than a load-holding lock; for pneumatic locking without live air pressure, consider the SAIL or BSAI series. To match this ISO 15552 footprint exactly, specify the 125 mm bore, 185 mm stroke, PT ports, and the -S magnet.
Because the 185 mm stroke exceeds the 300 mm threshold, side-load is minimal, but always ensure the M27x2 rod thread and 32 mm rod diameter are properly supported by an external guide to prevent premature seal wear.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 125 mm bore cylinder provides 6136 N of push force and 5734 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 8590 N.
The rear adjuster acts as a mechanical stop that allows you to shorten the effective stroke from 185 mm down to 145 mm. It only sets the travel end and does not lock the load without live air pressure.
