The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125AX550-20S 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 SAIJ125X550-20-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, allowing you to dial back the nominal 550 mm travel by up to 20 mm for a precise 530-550 mm usable window. It delivers substantial thrust, generating 8590 N of push force at 0.7 MPa, making it suitable for heavy-duty positioning tasks.
This variant features a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (code A) for enhanced corrosion resistance and includes a built-in magnet for CMSE and DMSE sensors. The extruded aluminum barrel incorporates sensor grooves on both sides, and the PT tapered port threads ensure a secure pneumatic connection.

Dial in the exact 530-550 mm end-of-stroke position during machine setup to accommodate varying material thicknesses without swapping cylinders.
Adjust the rear stopper on the fly when a packaging line switches to a different pallet size, ensuring precise indexing every time.
Leverage the 8590 N push force at 0.7 MPa to move heavy components into place, using the fine adjustment to perfect the final resting point.
Choose this 125 mm bore when you need significantly more force than a 100 mm cylinder (which provides 5497 N push at 0.7 MPa) but want to avoid the bulk of a 160 mm unit. The adjustable stroke is ideal for fine-tuning end positions during commissioning or product changeovers without adding external stops. Note that the rear adjuster acts only as a travel stop and does not hold the load without live air; for true load-holding, consider an external rod lock or the SAIL/BSAI series.
Because this model features a 550 mm stroke, the 32 mm rod diameter and M27x2 rod thread still require external guidance to prevent excessive side-loading on the piston. To match this ISO 15552 footprint exactly, ensure your replacement matches the 125 mm bore, 550 mm stroke, 20 mm adjustment, PT G1/2 port, and -S magnet requirement. The available mounting set includes Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.
Quick checklist
At an operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, this 125 mm bore cylinder provides 8590 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 screw allows you to shorten the effective travel from the nominal 550 mm down to 530 mm. This creates a 530-550 mm usable window for fine-tuning the retract end position at commissioning without needing external stops.
