The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125AX250-20S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 250mm 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 SAIJ125X250-20-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, allowing you to dial back the nominal 250 mm travel by up to 20 mm. This creates a precise 230-250 mm usable window for fine-tuning the retract end position at commissioning without swapping hardware. Delivering 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa, it handles heavy loads with a 32 mm SUS420J2 stainless steel rod and PT tapered port.
This variant includes a magnet for CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors, fitting neatly into the extruded aluminum barrel grooves. The rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop for end-position tuning, not a lock, meaning live air is required to hold the load. It supports a 30-500 mm/s speed range and uses adjustable air cushions at both ends to manage kinetic energy.

Dial in the 230-250 mm retract position during format size changes on packaging lines without replacing the cylinder.
Fine-tune the final resting position of heavy 6136 N press tools during machine commissioning.
Move substantial workpieces at 30-500 mm/s, relying on the 32 mm SUS420J2 rod for durability.
Choose this 125 mm bore when a 100 mm cylinder (3927 N at 0.5 MPa) lacks thrust but a 160 mm bore is physically too large. The adjustable 230-250 mm window is ideal for product changeovers where exact end-stops vary, saving the cost of adding external stops. For any load-holding requirements without continuous air pressure, this cylinder is insufficient as the adjuster is only a stop; an external rod lock or a SAIL/BSAI locking cylinder is required.
Since the 250 mm stroke is below the 300 mm side-load threshold, the robust 32 mm rod handles standard guiding well, though external guides are recommended for heavy offset loads. To match this ISO 15552 dimensionally interchangeable cylinder, specify the 125 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, PT port thread, 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 6136 N of push force and 5734 N of pull force. At 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 11045 N.
The rear adjuster screw allows you to shorten the 250 mm nominal stroke by up to 20 mm, providing a usable travel window of 230 to 250 mm. It functions as a mechanical stop for position tuning and does not lock the load without live air.
