The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125AX50-20 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 50mm 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 SAIJ125X50-20 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, letting you dial back the 50mm nominal travel by up to 20mm to achieve a precise 30-50mm usable window. It delivers robust thrust, pushing 6136N and pulling 5734N at 0.5 MPa, making it suited for heavy-duty positioning tasks. The piston rod is constructed from SUS420J2 stainless steel, offering high resistance to corrosion and premature wear in demanding environments.
This adjustable stopper enables fine end-position tuning at commissioning without swapping the cylinder or adding external stops. The integrated variable air cushions at both ends decelerate the load, but the adjuster acts only as a travel stop and does not hold the load without live air. For load-holding without pressure, a SAIL or BSAI variant is required. The extruded aluminum barrel features sensor grooves on both sides, ready for CMSE reed or DMSE electronic switches if a magnet is specified later.

Quickly fine-tune the retract end-position during product size changes without physically swapping the actuator or bolting on external stops.
Leverage the 6136N push force at 0.5 MPa for heavy pressing or holding operations, dialing in the exact 30-50mm travel distance.
Index large pallets or components precisely, using the rear stopper to absorb final positioning variations safely.
Select this 125mm bore when a 100mm bore (offering 3927N push at 0.5 MPa) lacks the necessary force, but a 160mm bore (10053N) is physically oversized. The SAIJ125X50-20 is chosen over a fixed-stroke SAI when a machine setup requires a variable end-stop to accommodate minor product-size changes on a line. Because the stroke is short (50mm), side-load stress on the 32mm rod is minimal, though external guides are always recommended for rigid loads.
To replace an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 125mm bore, 50mm nominal stroke, 20mm adjustment range, PT tapered port thread, and the reduced SAIJ mounting set (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2). Note that this model omits the FB, CA, CB, and CR mounting styles. It operates at speeds of 30-500 mm/s.
Quick checklist
A rear adjusting screw acts as a mechanical stopper, allowing you to shorten the effective stroke from its 50mm nominal length down to 30mm. This provides a 30-50mm adjustable travel window for fine-tuning the retract end position at commissioning.
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the 125mm bore generates a push force of 6136N and a pull force of 5734N. At 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 11045N.
