The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125AX85-50S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 85mm 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 SAIJ125X85-50-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that allows you to trim the effective travel back by up to 50 mm. This creates a usable stroke window ranging from 35 mm to 85 mm, providing exact end-position tuning at commissioning without needing to swap out the entire actuator or bolt on external stops. In this configuration, the unit delivers a robust 6136 N pull force at 0.5 MPa.
This specific SKU is built with a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance and includes a magnet (-S) for direct compatibility with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE solid-state sensors. It utilizes PT tapered ports and relies on variable air cushions at both ends to decelerate the load. The rear adjuster functions strictly as a mechanical travel stop, meaning it cannot hold the load safely without live air pressure.

Dial in the exact 35 to 85 mm stroke window during press setup to accommodate different material thicknesses without changing out tooling.
Quickly adjust the retract stop position on a packaging line to handle varying package lengths on the fly during product transitions.
Fine-tune the clamping end-position during machine commissioning to ensure optimal contact force without over-traveling the fixture.
Selecting this 125 mm bore actuator makes sense when your application requires the high thrust capacity of a large cylinder but demands on-the-fly end-position adjustments to accommodate varying product sizes. If your setup only needs a fixed 85 mm stroke without the 50 mm trim window, the standard SAI fixed-stroke cylinder is a simpler alternative. For load-holding requirements without continuous air pressure, this adjustable stopper is insufficient; you should evaluate the SAIL pneumatic lock or BSAI clamp-lock series instead.
Because this is a large-bore cylinder moving substantial mass, ensure your mounting arrangement—chosen from the SAIJ subset of Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2—properly supports the load. The 32 mm rod and M27x2 thread provide high rigidity, but any long or heavy unsupported tooling should still be guided externally to prevent excessive side-loading on the barrel.
Quick checklist
At a 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 125 mm bore cylinder generates 6136 N of push force and 5734 N of pull force due to the single-rod design. At the maximum 1.0 MPa pressure, it can deliver up to 1251 kgf.
The rear adjuster acts as a mechanical stop that allows you to shorten the nominal 85 mm stroke by up to 50 mm, creating a usable travel window of 35 to 85 mm. This allows for precise end-position tuning at commissioning, but it does not lock the load without live air pressure.
