The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125BX250-20 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 250mm 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 SAIJ125X250-20 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, allowing you to dial back the 250 mm nominal travel by up to 20 mm. This yields a precise 230-250 mm usable end-position window, eliminating the need to swap hardware or bolt on external stops during product changeovers. It delivers substantial thrust, pushing 8590 N at 0.7 MPa and pulling 5734 N at 0.5 MPa.
This unit features a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance and utilizes PT tapered port threads. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for flexible switch mounting. It supports a speed range of 30-500 mm/s and relies on adjustable air cushions at both ends to decelerate the load smoothly.

Quickly reconfigure the 230-250 mm travel window on packaging lines when switching to different carton sizes, avoiding mechanical rebuilds.
Fine-tune the exact retracted position during machine commissioning to perfect material feeding without adding external physical stops.
Leverage the 8590 N push force at 0.7 MPa to drive heavy stamping or forming operations, using the adjustment screw to set the precise working depth.
Choose this 125 mm bore when a 100 mm cylinder (providing 5497 N push at 0.7 MPa) lacks the necessary force, but before stepping up to a 160 mm bore (14074 N push at 0.7 MPa) which adds excess bulk. The adjustable 230-250 mm travel window is ideal for fine-tuning end stops at commissioning without machining new hard stops. For holding loads without live air pressure, note that the rear adjuster is strictly a travel stop, not a lock; you should specify an AirTAC SAIL or BSAI cylinder, or use an external pilot-operated check valve.
When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 125 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, 20 mm adjustment range, PT G1/2 port, and the reduced SAIJ mounting set (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2). Because the 250 mm stroke is moderately long, ensure adequate external guiding to protect the 32 mm rod from excessive side-loading.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, this 125 mm bore cylinder provides a push force of 8590 N and a pull force of 7654 N. At the maximum 1.0 MPa pressure, it achieves a maximum push force of 11045 N.
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop that shortens the 250 mm nominal stroke by up to 20 mm, creating a 230-250 mm usable travel window. It only sets the end position and does not lock the load without live air pressure.
