The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125AX550-50S 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 SAIJ125X550-50-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, providing a usable travel window of 500 to 550 mm. It delivers 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it suited for heavy-duty positioning tasks. The barrel features sensor grooves on both sides, and with the built-in magnet (-S), it integrates seamlessly with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE solid-state switches for precise end-of-stroke detection.
This model features a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (code A) for enhanced corrosion resistance and PT tapered port threads. The rear adjuster acts as a travel stop to fine-tune the end position during commissioning without adding external stops. It is not a lock; the cylinder cannot hold a load without live air pressure. For load-holding requirements, consider the SAIL or BSAI series.

Dial in the 500-550 mm travel window during line changeovers to accommodate different product lengths without swapping cylinders.
Leverage the 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa to set precise bottoming positions for heavy pressing or forming operations.
Use the robust 32 mm SUS420J2 rod and rear stopper to fine-tune the final resting position of large automotive or industrial assemblies.
Choose this adjustable-stroke cylinder when a machine setup requires dialing in a precise end-of-stroke position within a 500-550 mm window during product changeovers. If your application requires less force, stepping down to an 80 mm bore yields 2513 N at 0.5 MPa. If you need fixed travel without an adjuster, the standard SAI series is a simpler alternative.
When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 125 mm bore, 550 mm nominal stroke, 50 mm adjustment range, G3/8 port, and the -S magnet. Because the stroke is 550 mm, the 32 mm rod diameter carries a higher side-load capacity, though an external guide is still recommended for long unsupported loads. The SAIJ mounting set includes Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR.
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. At 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 11045 N.
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop, allowing you to shorten the effective travel from 550 mm down to 500 mm. This end-position tuning happens at commissioning without swapping the cylinder, but it does not lock the load without live air pressure.
