The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125AX280-20S 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 SAIJ125X280-20-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster. It provides a 260-280 mm usable travel window, allowing you to dial back the 280 mm nominal stroke by up to 20 mm during commissioning. Equipped with a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (material code A) and a built-in magnet, it integrates seamlessly with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors via the dual-side extruded aluminum barrel grooves.
Delivering 6136 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa and up to 11045 N at 0.9 MPa, this bore size handles heavy loads. The rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop to fine-tune the end position and does not hold the load without live air pressure. For load-holding requirements without continuous air, consider the SAIL or BSAI series instead.

Fine-tune the 260-280 mm travel window during product size transitions without swapping out the entire cylinder or bolting on external stops.
Leverage the 11045 N push force at 0.9 MPa for rigid pressing operations, using the rear screw to dial in the exact contact depth.
Utilize the dual-side sensor grooves with DMSE electronic switches to confirm end-of-stroke positions accurately on high-speed lines.
Choose this 125 mm bore when your application requires higher force than the 80 mm bore (which provides 2268 N pull at 0.5 MPa) but less bulk than the 160 mm option. The adjustable stroke is ideal for product changeovers or fine-tuning end positions without adding external stops. Because the 280 mm stroke exceeds 300 mm is not the case here, but for longer unsupported travels, an external guide is recommended to manage side loads.
To replace an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 125 mm bore, 280 mm stroke, 20 mm adjustment, PT tapered port, and -S magnet. SAIJ supports a mounting subset of Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR. The 32 mm rod and M27x2 thread provide robust connectivity for heavy-duty tooling.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it provides 6136 N push and 5734 N pull. At 0.9 MPa, the push force reaches 11045 N.
The rear adjuster screw lets you shorten the effective travel from 280 mm down to 260 mm. It functions as a travel stop for end-position tuning, not as a lock, meaning it will not hold the load without live air pressure.
