The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125AX425-30 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 425mm 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 SAIJ125X425-30 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, allowing you to dial back the 425 mm nominal travel to a precise 395-425 mm window. Built with a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (option A) for enhanced durability against lateral stress, it delivers a robust 6133 N pull force at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminum barrel features sensor grooves on both sides, ready for CMSE reed or DMSE electronic switches if a magnet is added later.
Unlike a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder, this model lets you fine-tune the retract end-position during commissioning without adding external stops. The PT tapered port threads ensure a tight, leak-free pneumatic connection, while the rear adjuster functions strictly as a travel stop, not a load-holding lock.

Dial in the 395-425 mm travel window during product size changes without swapping out the entire cylinder.
Fine-tune the retract stop during commissioning to hit exact tolerances without relying on external hard stops.
Provide 6133 N of pulling force to move heavy pallets, adjusting the stroke slightly to accommodate different pallet sizes.
Choose this 125 mm bore when a 100 mm bore (offering 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa) lacks the necessary thrust, but a 160 mm bore (10053 N push) is oversized. The 30 mm adjustment range is perfect for product changeovers on a line where exact end-of-stroke positioning varies slightly. If the application requires holding the load without live air pressure, the SAIJ adjuster will not suffice; you must use a SAIL pneumatic lock, a BSAI clamp-lock cylinder, or an external rod lock.
With a 425 mm stroke, the M27x2 piston rod is subject to potential side-loads, so an external guide is recommended to prevent binding. This cylinder is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 and supports a reduced mounting set of Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 (omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR).
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, it provides 6136 N of push force and 5734 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 8590 N.
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop, allowing you to shorten the 425 mm nominal stroke by up to 30 mm, resulting in a usable travel window of 395 to 425 mm. It is a stop, not a lock.
