The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125AX280-75 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 SAIJ125X280-75 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, delivering 6136N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Its 280mm nominal stroke can be dialed back by up to 75mm, creating a precise 205-280mm usable travel window for product changeovers. This model features a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (option A) for enhanced corrosion resistance and uses a PT tapered port thread.
Because the rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop, it cannot hold a load without live air pressure; for dead-air load holding, an external pilot-operated check valve or a related SAIL lock cylinder is required. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, and with a 32mm rod diameter paired with an M27x2 thread, this size handles substantial side loads compared to smaller bores.

Dial in the 205-280mm stroke window on the fly to accommodate different package lengths on a packaging line without changing out the cylinder.
Use the rear mechanical stopper to set a precise retract position for a 6136N pressing or forming operation, ensuring repeatable depth at 0.5 MPa.
Fine-tune the travel limit during initial machine setup to clear mechanical interference without machining new spacer blocks or ordering custom cylinders.
Choose this 125mm bore when an 80mm bore (providing 2513N push at 0.5 MPa) is insufficient, but a 160mm bore (10053N) would overdrive your payload. The 75mm adjustment range is ideal for machines running mixed product lengths, allowing you to fine-tune the retract end position during commissioning without adding external stops or swapping to a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder. To match this ISO 15552 footprint exactly, specify the 125mm bore, 280mm stroke, 75mm adjustment, PT port thread, and your required mounting accessory.
With a 280mm stroke, the unsupported piston rod is subject to bending forces under heavy lateral loads. Even though the 32mm rod provides high rigidity, you should incorporate an external guide rail to prevent premature seal wear. Approved mounting accessories for this adjustable series include Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 125mm bore cylinder provides 6136N of push force and 5734N of pull force. If pressure is increased to 0.9 MPa, the push force reaches 11045N.
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop that shortens the effective retract stroke by up to 75mm. This turns the 280mm nominal stroke into a 205-280mm usable travel window, allowing you to set the exact end position during commissioning. It does not lock the load without air pressure.
