The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125AX280-50S 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 SAIJ125X280-50-S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It delivers robust thrust, generating 8590N of push force at 0.7 MPa, making it suitable for heavy-duty positioning tasks. The integrated -S magnet enables position detection via AirTAC CMSE reed or DMSE electronic solid-state sensors housed in the dual-side barrel grooves.
This specific SKU combines a 280 mm nominal stroke with a 50 mm adjustment range, yielding a usable travel window of 230 to 280 mm. You can fine-tune the retract end-position at commissioning without adding external stops. The rod is constructed from SUS420J2 stainless steel (code A) for enhanced corrosion resistance, and the fluid porting uses a PT tapered G1/2 thread.

Dial in the 230-280mm travel window during format changes on packaging lines without physically replacing the cylinder.
Leverage 8590N of push force at 0.7MPa to move heavy pallets or fixtures into exact final positions.
Fine-tune the retract end-stop during initial commissioning to perfectly align heavy mechanical stops.
Select this 125 mm bore when an application requires more force than a 100 mm cylinder (which provides 5497N push at 0.7 MPa) but does not need the full 14074N capacity of a 160 mm bore. The adjustable 230-280 mm travel window is ideal for machinery that undergoes frequent product-size changeovers, allowing operators to dial in the exact end-stop mechanically rather than swapping components. For true load-holding without continuous live air pressure, note that this rear adjuster acts only as a travel stop and not a brake; you should instead specify an AirTAC SAIL or BSAI cylinder.
When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 125 mm bore, 280 mm stroke, 50 mm adjustment code, PT G1/2 port, and -S magnet requirement. Because the 280 mm stroke is relatively long, the 32 mm diameter rod provides substantial rigidity, but any unsupported load still requires an external guide to prevent excessive side-loading. The SAIJ mounting set includes Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 options, deliberately omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR brackets.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it provides 6136N push and 5734N pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 8590N, and it reaches a maximum of 11045N push at 0.9 MPa.
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop that trims the effective travel. For this 280mm stroke model, you can reduce the stroke by up to 50mm, creating an adjustable 230-280mm travel window without changing the cylinder.
