The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125X1000-40 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 1000mm 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 SAIJ125X1000-40 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear mechanical adjuster that trims the nominal 1000 mm stroke back by up to 40 mm, providing a usable travel window of 960 to 1000 mm. It delivers robust thrust, generating 6136 N of push force and 5734 N of pull force at a 0.5 MPa operating pressure.
This large-bore actuator uses a PT tapered G1/2 port and a 32 mm carbon steel rod with an M27x2 thread to handle substantial loads. The extruded aluminum barrel incorporates sensor grooves on both sides for direct mounting of CMSE reed or DMSE solid-state switches, while the rear stopper acts purely as a travel end deceleration device rather than a load-holding lock.

Dial in the exact 960 to 1000 mm end position during machine commissioning to accommodate different product lengths without replacing the actuator.
Leverage the 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa for long-travel pressing or forming operations, using the 40 mm adjuster to set precise final bottoming depth.
Quickly reconfigure long-travel conveyor diverters or pushers by turning the rear adjuster screw to match new package sizes on automated packaging lines.
Selecting this 125 mm bore actuator makes sense when your application requires the 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa (or 8590 N at 0.7 MPa) and a long 1000 mm travel. If your setup only needs the 3927 N push force of a 100 mm bore, stepping down reduces air consumption; however, this 125 mm size is required for heavier moving masses. The 40 mm adjustable range is ideal for fine-tuning the end position during commissioning or product changeovers without swapping the physical cylinder.
Because the stroke is 1000 mm, the unsupported rod is highly susceptible to side-loading and deflection; an external guide rail must be used to prevent premature seal wear. The rear adjuster and integrated air cushions only decelerate the load at the travel end and will not hold the load without live air pressure. For true fail-safe load holding, use an external pilot-operated check valve or an AirTAC SAIL locking cylinder. This profile cylinder is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 and uses the SAIJ mounting set (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2), omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR brackets.
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. If you increase the pressure to 0.7 MPa, the push force rises to 8590 N.
The rear mechanical adjuster allows you to shorten the 1000 mm nominal stroke by up to 40 mm, creating a usable travel window of 960 to 1000 mm. This stopper decelerates the piston at the retract end but does not lock the load without continuous air pressure.
