The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125AX260-100S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 260mm 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 SAIJ125X260-100-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that allows you to dial back the nominal 260 mm stroke by up to 100 mm, creating a highly flexible 160-260 mm usable travel window. It delivers 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to 11045 N at 0.9 MPa, making it well-suited for heavy-duty positioning tasks.
This specific configuration includes a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod for improved corrosion resistance and a built-in magnet (-S) for use with AirTAC CMSE reed or DMSE solid-state sensors. The extruded aluminum barrel features sensor grooves on both sides, and the adjustable stopper acts purely as a travel end-deceleration mechanism, not a load lock.

Dial in the exact end-position for different package lengths on a packaging line using the 160-260 mm travel window without changing out the cylinder.
Fine-tune the final retract position during commissioning to perfectly time a heavy 6136 N press or clamping operation.
Adjust the stroke dynamically for multi-format assembly stations where the rear stopper replaces hard mechanical shims.
Choose this 125 mm bore when a 100 mm bore (offering 3927 N at 0.5 MPa) lacks the thrust for heavier fixtures, but a 160 mm bore (10053 N at 0.5 MPa) would be excessive overkill. The 100 mm adjustment range is ideal for machinery that frequently handles varying product sizes, allowing you to fine-tune the end position during changeover without physically swapping the cylinder or adding external stops.
When matching ISO 15552 dimensions for a retrofit, verify the 260 mm stroke, 100 mm adjustment window, PT tapered port threads, and the -S magnet requirement. Because the total stroke here is 260 mm, ensure adequate side-load support by using an external guide rail to prevent binding. Remember that the rear adjuster only sets the travel end; for load-holding without live air pressure, select an SAIL air-released lock, a BSAI clamp-lock, or an external rod lock.
Quick checklist
At a 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 adjusting screw acts as a mechanical stopper that allows you to shorten the effective travel from the nominal 260 mm down to as little as 160 mm. This creates a 160-260 mm usable window, but it only decelerates the travel end; it does not lock the load without continuous air pressure.
