The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125AX225-40 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 225mm 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 SAIJ125X225-40 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, delivering 8590N of push force at 0.7 MPa. Its 225mm nominal stroke can be dialed back by up to 40mm, creating a precise 185-225mm usable travel window for fine-tuning end positions during commissioning. This eliminates the need to swap cylinders or bolt on external stops when aligning machinery.
Built with a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (option A) for enhanced corrosion resistance, this large-bore actuator runs at 30-500mm/s and uses PT tapered ports. It retains the standard extruded aluminum barrel with dual sensor grooves, though it omits the FB, CA, CB, and CR mounting options, supporting only Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 interfaces.

Dial in the 185-225mm travel window during format changes on packaging lines, using the rear screw to set new end positions without changing the cylinder.
Leverage the 8590N push force at 0.7MPa for heavy-duty pressing or holding tasks where exact final position tuning is critical for assembly quality.
Fine-tune the retract end-position at machine commissioning to perfectly align tooling, avoiding the need to machine custom external spacers.
Select this 125mm bore when a 63mm cylinder (providing 2182N push at 0.5MPa) is insufficient, but an 80mm bore (3518N at 0.7MPa) cannot meet the required 8590N thrust at 0.7MPa. The adjustable 185-225mm window is ideal for product-size changeovers on a line, allowing operators to set variable end-stops without replacing the actuator. For load-holding without live air pressure, note that this cylinder's rear adjuster acts only as a travel stop and not a lock; you should instead specify an AirTAC SAIL or BSAI cylinder.
When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 125mm bore, 225mm stroke, 40mm adjustment range, PT port thread, and required mounting hardware. Because the stroke exceeds 300mm on larger variants, external guidance is recommended to prevent side-loading, though this 225mm model utilizes a robust 32mm rod and M27x2 thread to handle standard operational stresses.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, this 125mm bore cylinder provides 8590N of push force and 5734N of pull force. At the maximum 1.0 MPa pressure, it achieves a push force of 11045N.
The rear adjuster acts as a mechanical stop that shortens the retract stroke by up to 40mm, providing a usable travel window of 185-225mm from the 225mm nominal stroke. It only sets the travel end and does not lock the load without live air pressure.
