The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125AX260-30S 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 SAIJ125X260-30-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that allows you to fine-tune the end-of-travel position. It provides a usable stroke window of 230 to 260 mm, letting you dial back the travel by up to 30 mm during commissioning without adding external stops. Built to deliver 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it is designed for heavy-duty positioning tasks.
This variant includes a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (material code A) for improved corrosion resistance and ships with a piston magnet (-S) for use with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE solid-state sensors. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, and the standard PT tapered port is G1/2. It supports a speed range of 30-500 mm/s and uses the reduced SAIJ mounting set: Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.

Quickly shift the retract end-position by up to 30 mm when switching a packaging line to a different carton size, using the rear stopper instead of swapping cylinders.
Leverage 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa to securely seat heavy components, dialing back the final 0-30 mm of travel to achieve exact contact depth.
Fine-tune the end-stop during initial machine commissioning to prevent mechanical crashes, using the rear adjuster to safely set the 230-260 mm travel window.
Choose this 125 mm bore cylinder when a 100 mm bore (providing 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa) is insufficient for your load, but you want to avoid jumping to a 160 mm frame (10053 N at 0.5 MPa) which adds significant bulk. The adjustable rear stopper is ideal for product changeovers on a packaging line where exact end positions vary by a few centimeters, saving you from swapping out a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder. Because the total stroke is 260 mm, ensure your setup handles side loads properly; long unsupported strokes still require an external guide.
When specifying a replacement, match the 125 mm bore, 260 mm nominal stroke, 30 mm adjustment range, PT G1/2 port, and the -S magnet requirement. Remember that the rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock. If your application requires dead-stop load holding without live air pressure, the SAIJ cannot hold the load; you must use an SAIL air-released lock, a BSAI clamp-lock, or an external pilot-operated check valve instead.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, 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 operational speed range is 30-500 mm/s.
The rear adjuster acts as an external stopper that lets you shorten the effective stroke from 260 mm down to as little as 230 mm. This creates a 230-260 mm travel window for fine-tuning end positions at commissioning without changing the cylinder itself.
