The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125AX290-40 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 SAIJ125X290-40 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, delivering 6136N of push force at 0.5 MPa. It features a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod and PT tapered ports. The integrated rear stopper allows you to fine-tune the effective travel down from the 290mm nominal stroke, providing a usable adjustment window of 250-290mm.
This adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop to set the retract end position and relies on the variable air cushions for deceleration; it does not lock the load without continuous air pressure. For load-holding without live air, an external pilot-operated check valve or a related SAIL lock cylinder is required. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for flexible switch mounting.

Dial in the exact 250-290mm end position during format size changes on a packaging line without replacing hardware.
Fine-tune the retract stop during commissioning to perfect the resting position of heavy forming presses.
Adjust the stroke on the fly for diverter gates handling different pallet widths without adding external stops.
Choose this 125mm bore when an 80mm cylinder (providing 2513N push at 0.5 MPa) lacks the thrust for your application, but a 160mm bore (10053N) would be excessive. The 40mm adjustment range is ideal for product changeovers, allowing you to shift the end-stop without physically swapping the cylinder or adding external shims. Because the total stroke is 290mm, ensure adequate external guidance to prevent excessive side-loading on the rod.
To match this ISO 15552 interchangeable cylinder, confirm the 125mm bore, 290mm stroke, 40mm adjustment, PT port threads, and standard mounting set (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2). Note that FB, CA, CB, and CR mounts are omitted from this series. As no magnet is specified, position sensing via CMSE or DMSE switches is not enabled out of the box.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 125mm bore cylinder provides 6136N of push force and 5734N of pull force. It can reach a maximum push force of 11045N at 0.9 MPa.
The rear adjuster screw lets you shorten the 290mm nominal stroke by up to 40mm, creating a usable travel window of 250-290mm. It functions as a mechanical stop for end-position tuning and does not hold the load without live air pressure.
