The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125AX500-30 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 500mm 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 SAIJ125X500-30 is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It provides a 500 mm nominal stroke that can be dialed back by up to 30 mm, creating a 470-500 mm usable travel window for fine-tuning end positions during commissioning. Featuring a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (code A) and PT tapered port threads, it delivers 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa.
This model utilizes a reduced mounting set (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2) and omits FB, CA, CB, and CR options. The rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop to set deceleration and travel limits; it does not lock or hold the load without live air pressure. For position holding, an external rod lock or SAIL cylinder is required.

Dial in the 470-500 mm travel window during product size transitions to set new end positions rapidly without replacing the cylinder.
Fine-tune the retract stopper at commissioning to dial out mechanical drift or tolerance stack-up without adding external stops.
Leverage the 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa for pressing applications where the exact bottoming position must be adjusted on the fly.
Choose this 125 mm bore when you need substantial thrust (6136 N push at 0.5 MPa) and a variable end-stop, stepping up from the 80 mm bore which yields 2513 N. The adjustable 470-500 mm window is perfect for machine setups requiring product changeovers without swapping cylinders. Because the 500 mm stroke is unsupported over a long distance, an external guide is recommended to prevent side-load damage to the rod.
When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 125 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, 30 mm adjustment range, PT G1/2 port, and appropriate mounting. Note that because no magnet (-S) is specified, this SKU cannot support AirTAC CMSE or DMSE sensors without modification. If load-holding is required, select a SAIL or BSAI series instead of relying on the rear stopper.
Quick checklist
The rear adjuster screw lets you shorten the effective travel by up to 30 mm, providing a 470-500 mm usable window. It acts as a mechanical stop to fine-tune the end position without swapping the cylinder.
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.
