The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125AX500-30S 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-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty applications, delivering 6136N of push force at 0.5 MPa. It features a 500mm nominal stroke equipped with a rear-mounted adjusting screw, providing a 470-500mm usable travel window. This built-in adjustability allows you to fine-tune the retract end-position during commissioning or product changeovers without adding external stops or swapping the cylinder.
This model includes a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (material code A) for enhanced corrosion resistance and uses PT tapered ports. The extruded aluminum barrel features sensor grooves on both sides, and the -S magnet option enables position detection with AirTAC CMSE reed or DMSE electronic solid-state switches. It supports a speed range of 30-500 mm/s and relies on variable air cushions at both ends to decelerate the load smoothly.

Dial in the 470-500mm retract position precisely when switching between product sizes on the same production line.
Use the 30mm rear screw to fine-tune the final end-position during commissioning without installing bulky external mechanical stops.
Leverage the 6136N push force to move heavy pallets or fixtures, relying on the built-in air cushion to decelerate the 500mm travel safely.
Selecting this 125mm bore cylinder is ideal when your application requires the 6136N push force at 0.5 MPa and on-the-fly stroke trimming. If your setup needs less force, stepping down to an 80mm bore yields 2513N push force. The 30mm adjustment range is perfect for dialing in exact end-stops during machine setup, whereas a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder locks you into a single 500mm dimension. When matching an ISO 15552 replacement, verify the 500mm stroke, 30mm adjustment, PT G1/2 port, and the -S magnet requirement.
Because the nominal stroke is 500mm, it is critical to use an external guide to prevent excessive side-loading on the 32mm rod. Remember that the rear adjuster and air cushions act only as travel stops for deceleration; they do not hold the load without live air pressure. For true load-holding without continuous pressure, consider an AirTAC SAIL pneumatic lock or BSAI clamp-lock cylinder instead.
Quick checklist
At an operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, this 125mm bore double-acting cylinder provides 6136N of push force and 5734N of pull force. It can reach up to 11045N push force at 0.9 MPa.
The rear adjuster screw allows you to shorten the effective stroke by up to 30mm, creating a usable travel window of 470-500mm. The adjuster acts as a mechanical stop for the retract end-position and does not lock the load without continuous air pressure.
