The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125AX500-50 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 SAIJ125X500-50 is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It provides a nominal 500 mm stroke that can be fine-tuned down by up to 50 mm, yielding a usable travel window of 450-500 mm. Belonging to the 125 mm bore class, it delivers 6136 N of push force and 5734 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it suitable for heavy-duty positioning tasks.
This variant features an SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (code A) for enhanced corrosion resistance and uses PT tapered port threads (G1/2). The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides. While the rear stopper screw allows precise end-position tuning during commissioning, it functions strictly as a travel stop and does not hold the load without live air pressure.

Dial in the exact 450-500 mm pressing depth during machine commissioning without machining new spacer blocks.
Quickly adjust the rear stopper by up to 50 mm to accommodate different pallet lengths on an automated line.
Set precise retraction limits for heavy 125 mm bore loads where a fixed standard SAI cylinder would require manual shimming.
Selecting this 125 mm bore cylinder makes sense when your application requires substantial thrust—up to 6136 N at 0.5 MPa—combined with the flexibility to dial in the exact end-of-stroke position. If your setup needs less force, stepping down to a 100 mm bore provides 3927 N of push force. The adjustable -50 mm window is ideal for product changeovers, allowing you to shift the 500 mm travel limit without physically swapping the cylinder or adding external stopper blocks.
Because this is a 500 mm stroke, the 32 mm diameter rod and M27x2 rod thread must contend with potential side loads; an external guide is recommended to prevent rod bending over long unsupported travel. For drop-in compatibility, match the 125 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, PT port, and mounting style (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2). If load-holding without live air is required, consider the SAIL or BSAI variants, as this adjuster is not a lock.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 125 mm bore cylinder provides 6136 N of push force and 5734 N of pull force. It can reach a maximum push force of 11045 N at 0.9 MPa.
The rear adjuster acts as a mechanical stop, allowing you to shorten the effective travel from the 500 mm nominal stroke down to 450 mm. This creates a 450-500 mm adjustable window for fine-tuning end positions without changing the cylinder.
