The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125AX290-30 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 290mm 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 SAIJ125X290-30 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster. It provides a usable travel window of 260 to 290 mm, allowing you to dial back the nominal 290 mm stroke by up to 30 mm during commissioning without adding external stops. Equipped with a PT G1/2 port and a 32 mm SUS420J2 stainless steel rod, it delivers 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa.
This adjustable-stroke model uses variable air cushions at both ends to manage deceleration, but the rear adjuster acts strictly as a travel stop, not a load-holding lock. It supports a speed range of 30-500 mm/s and uses an extruded aluminum barrel with sensor grooves on both sides. For position feedback, you can add a magnet (-S) to enable AirTAC CMSE reed or DMSE electronic sensors.

Fine-tune the retraction point within a 260 to 290 mm window to accommodate multiple product sizes on a single assembly fixture.
Adjust the stroke on the fly during line format changes, eliminating the need to physically swap out cylinders for different package lengths.
Dial in the exact end-of-stroke position during machine setup to prevent mechanical interference and optimize cycle timing.
Choose this 125 mm bore when an 80 mm cylinder lacks thrust, offering 2513 N at 0.5 MPa compared to the 6136 N provided here. The adjustable stroke is ideal for product changeovers on packaging lines where exact end positions vary, saving the effort of swapping a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder. Because the stroke is 290 mm, an external guide is recommended to prevent side-load damage to the rod.
When specifying a replacement, match the 125 mm bore, 290 mm stroke, 30 mm adjustment, PT G1/2 port, and basic mounting style. If your application requires holding a load without live air pressure, select an SAIL pneumatic lock or BSAI clamp-lock cylinder instead, as the SAIJ adjuster cannot hold loads. The SAIJ mounting set includes Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.
Quick checklist
The rear adjuster acts as a mechanical stop that shortens the effective travel. For this SAIJ125X290-30 model, you can trim the 290 mm stroke back by up to 30 mm, creating a usable travel window of 260 to 290 mm.
At an operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, this 125 mm bore cylinder generates 6136 N of push force and 5734 N of pull force. It can reach a maximum push force of 11045 N at 0.9 MPa.
