The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125AX230-40 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 230mm 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 SAIJ125X230-40 is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It delivers a robust 6136N push force at 0.5 MPa, making it suitable for heavy-duty positioning tasks. The integrated -40 adjustment code provides a usable travel window of 190 to 230 mm, allowing precise end-position tuning without swapping out the entire unit.
This model features a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (material code A) for enhanced corrosion resistance and utilizes PT tapered port threads with a G1/2 connection. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides. Note that the rear adjuster acts strictly as a travel stop for deceleration and positioning, not as a load-holding lock.

Dial in the 190-230 mm travel window during format size changes on packaging lines, using the rear screw to set new end positions rapidly without changing hardware.
Leverage the 6136N push force at 0.5 MPa to seat heavy components, relying on the adjuster to fine-tune the pressing depth accurately.
Trim the effective stroke by up to 40 mm during initial setup to perfect end-of-stroke timing and avoid mechanical interference.
Select this 125 mm bore cylinder when an application requires substantial thrust—such as the 6136N push or 5734N pull at 0.5 MPa—combined with variable end-stop positioning. If a smaller footprint is acceptable, the 100 mm bore offers 3927N push force; conversely, stepping up to a 160 mm bore yields 10053N. The adjustable stroke is chosen over a fixed SAI model to simplify commissioning fine-tunes and product-size changeovers directly on the machine line.
Because the 230 mm stroke exceeds the 300 mm side-load threshold guideline, ensure adequate external guiding for long unsupported loads. For load-holding without live air pressure, this plain SAIJ is insufficient; instead, consider the SAIL pneumatic lock or BSAI clamp-lock series. Replacement requires matching the 125 mm bore, 230 mm stroke, PT port, and the reduced SAIJ mounting set (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2).
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 125 mm bore cylinder provides a push force of 6136N and a pull force of 5734N. It can reach a maximum push force of 11045N at 0.9 MPa.
The rear adjuster acts as an external stopper that trims the effective travel. For the SAIJ125X230-40, you can shorten the 230 mm nominal stroke by up to 40 mm, creating a usable travel window of 190 to 230 mm. It functions as a stop, not a lock.
