The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125AX900-40S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 900mm 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 SAIJ125X900-40-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster. It provides a nominal 900 mm stroke that can be fine-tuned backward by up to 40 mm, yielding a usable travel window of 860-900 mm. This allows precise end-position calibration during commissioning without adding external stops. It delivers 6136 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to 11045 N at 0.9 MPa.
Built with a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (code A), this unit handles demanding environments while operating at 30-500 mm/s. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, and the integrated -S magnet works seamlessly with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic solid-state switches. It uses PT tapered port threads and includes variable air cushions at both ends to manage deceleration.

Related SAI-family variants: SAID (double rod), SAIJ (adjustable stroke), SAIL (with lock), SAIF (with valve), BSAI (enclasp / clamp-lock), and SAI-S with built-in magnet. Rod material: carbon steel (blank) / SUS420J2 (A) / SUS304 (B); seals: TPU (blank) / Viton H / NBR N.
Dial the rear stopper back by up to 40 mm to accommodate varying package sizes on a packaging line without changing cylinder hardware.
Fine-tune the 860-900 mm end-position during initial commissioning to align heavy press tools perfectly without external shims.
Adjust the retract position on the fly for automated material handling gates that require different stroke lengths per batch.
Choose this 125 mm bore when an 80 mm cylinder (providing 2513 N at 0.5 MPa) lacks the force for heavy positioning, but stepping up to a 160 mm bore (10053 N at 0.5 MPa) would be excessive overkill. The adjustable stroke is ideal for product changeovers on a line, letting you dial in the exact 860-900 mm end-stop without swapping the cylinder. For a fixed travel length without the rear adjuster, the standard SAI cylinder is the alternative.
Because the stroke is 900 mm, an external guide is strongly recommended to prevent side-load damage to the rod and seals. The rear adjuster and air cushions only set the travel end and decelerate the load; they do not hold the load without live air. For true fail-safe load holding, select the SAIL (air-released lock) or BSAI (clamp-lock) series. This SAIJ model uses the reduced mounting set: Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, it 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 that trims the nominal 900 mm stroke back by up to 40 mm, giving an effective travel window of 860-900 mm. It only sets the end position and does not lock the load without live air.
