The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125AX550-100 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 550mm 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 SAIJ125X550-100 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster. It provides a substantial 6136N thrust at 0.5 MPa and incorporates a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod for enhanced durability against lateral stress. The extruded aluminum barrel includes dual sensor grooves for straightforward position feedback.
With a 550mm nominal stroke and a 100mm adjustment range, this model yields a versatile 450-550mm usable travel window. This built-in stopper allows operators to fine-tune the retract end-position during commissioning or product changeovers without adding external stops. The rear adjuster acts strictly as a travel stop to set deceleration, not as a lock to hold the load without live air pressure.

Dial in the 450-550mm travel window during production line changeovers to accommodate varying package lengths without swapping out the entire cylinder assembly.
Leverage the 6136N thrust at 0.5 MPa for heavy-duty pressing and joining tasks, using the rear stopper to precisely set the final end-position.
Fine-tune the retract end-position during initial machine setup, using the 100mm adjustment range to dial in the exact required stroke without external spacers.
Choose this 125mm bore when an 80mm cylinder's 2513N push force at 0.5 MPa is insufficient for heavy actuation. The adjustable stroke is ideal for production lines requiring frequent product-size changeovers, providing a variable end-stop instead of a fixed SAI cylinder. To replace an ISO 15552 unit, match the 125mm bore, 550mm stroke, 100mm adjustment, PT tapered port threads, and the Basic/FA/LB/TC/FTC/TCM1/TCM2 mounting set.
Because the 550mm stroke is substantial, the 32mm rod diameter and M27x2 thread provide rigidity, but an external guide is still recommended to manage side loads. Furthermore, this plain SAIJ cylinder does not hold its position without live air; for fail-safe load holding, consider an AirTAC SAIL or BSAI cylinder instead.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 125mm bore cylinder provides 6136N of push force and 5734N of pull force. At the maximum 1.0 MPa pressure, it delivers 1251 kgf of push force.
The rear adjuster acts as an external stopper, allowing you to shorten the 550mm nominal stroke by up to 100mm. This creates a 450-550mm usable travel window for fine-tuning end positions without replacing the cylinder.
