The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125AX280-100 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 280mm 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 SAIJ125X280-100 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster. It provides a usable travel window of 180 to 280 mm, allowing you to dial back the nominal 280 mm stroke by up to 100 mm during commissioning. This bore size delivers 6136 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it suited for heavy-duty positioning tasks.
This SKU uses a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod for enhanced corrosion resistance and features PT tapered port threads. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides. Note that the rear adjuster acts only as a travel stop to fine-tune deceleration and end positions; it does not hold the load without live air pressure.

Dial in the exact retract distance between 180 and 280 mm for heavy jigs that require precise end-positioning without swapping out the entire actuator.
Quickly adapt a production line to different product lengths by turning the rear adjuster screw, saving downtime on tooling modifications.
Leverage the 6136 N pull force at 0.5 MPa to form or press components, using the 100 mm adjustment range to fine-tune the working depth at commissioning.
Choose this 125 mm bore cylinder when an application requires substantial force—such as 6136 N pull at 0.5 MPa—and exact end-position tuning without adding external stops. If your process requires less force, stepping down to an 80 mm bore yields 2268 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The 100 mm adjustment window is ideal for product changeovers on a line where the end-stop distance frequently varies.
When matching this for an ISO 15552 replacement, verify the 280 mm stroke, 100 mm adjustment range, PT port threads, and the specific mounting set (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2). Because the stroke is 280 mm, ensure adequate support to prevent rod side-load, using an external guide if necessary. For load-holding without live pressure, consider an AirTAC SAIL or BSAI cylinder instead.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 125 mm bore cylinder provides 6136 N of pull force and 6136 N of push force. At 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 11045 N.
The rear adjuster acts as a mechanical stop that lets you trim the effective travel from the nominal 280 mm down to 180 mm. It is a travel stop for fine-tuning end positions, not a lock, and it cannot hold a load without continuous air pressure.
