The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125AX280-75S 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-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that provides a usable travel window of 205 to 280 mm. It delivers 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to 11045 N at 0.9 MPa, making it well-suited for heavy-duty positioning tasks. The barrel is extruded aluminum with sensor grooves on both sides, and the -S magnet enables precise end-of-stroke detection when paired with AirTAC CMSE reed or DMSE electronic solid-state switches.
This specific SKU is configured with a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (material code A) for enhanced corrosion resistance compared to standard carbon steel. The rear adjustment screw acts purely as a mechanical stop to fine-tune the retract end position during commissioning without adding external stops, but it does not lock or hold the load without live air pressure. Fluid supply must be filtered to 40 um, and the PT tapered port thread matches the G1/2 standard for this bore size.

Dial in the retract stroke from 205 to 280 mm during machine commissioning to accommodate changing part sizes without swapping the entire cylinder.
Leverage the 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa to move heavy pallets or fixtures, adjusting the stopper quickly when switching production runs.
Use the integrated -S magnet with DMSE solid-state sensors to confirm clamping positions accurately before processing heavy workpieces.
Select this 125 mm bore model when an application requires high thrust combined with variable end-stop positioning, such as accommodating multiple product sizes on a single machine line. If you need less force, stepping down to an 80 mm bore yields 2513 N at 0.5 MPa, but the SAIJ125X280-75-S provides the necessary power for heavier payloads. The adjustable stroke is ideal for fine-tuning the retract position at setup, whereas a fixed SAI cylinder locks you into a single 280 mm travel. For load-holding without continuous air pressure, this cylinder is insufficient; the rear adjuster only decelerates the travel end, so you should consider an SAIL air-released lock, a BSAI clamp-lock, or an external rod lock.
Because the nominal stroke is 280 mm, which is below the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, it is a standard length. However, any stroke of 300 mm or more generally requires an external guide to prevent excessive side loading on the piston rod. This model uses a 32 mm diameter rod with an M27x2 thread, which provides substantial rigidity, but long unsupported strokes still necessitate proper guiding. The mounting set includes Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 options, omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR, while maintaining dimensional interchangeability per ISO 15552.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, this cylinder provides 6136 N of push force and 5734 N of pull force. If operating pressure increases to 0.9 MPa, the push force scales up to 11045 N.
The rear adjuster screw allows you to shorten the effective stroke by up to 75 mm from the nominal 280 mm, creating a usable travel window of 205 to 280 mm. It acts as a mechanical stop for end-position tuning and does not lock the load without live air pressure.
