The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125X1000-40S 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-S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It delivers 6136N of push force at 0.5 MPa and features a 1000mm nominal stroke that can be fine-tuned down by up to 40mm, creating a precise 960-1000mm usable travel window. This built-in adjustability allows operators to dial in end positions during commissioning without adding external stops.
This model includes a magnetic piston (-S) for position detection and uses a standard carbon steel rod with an M27x2 thread. It features PT tapered port threads (G1/2 port size) and operates at speeds of 30-500mm/s. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, accommodating AirTAC CMSE reed or DMSE electronic solid-state switches for reliable feedback.

Quickly fine-tune the 960-1000mm travel window during line changeovers to accommodate different product lengths without physically replacing the actuator.
Leverages the 6136N push force at 0.5 MPa to reliably push heavy molds or machined components out of a workstation on long-stroke automated lines.
Allows maintenance technicians to precisely dial in the final retract position during machine setup, absorbing mechanical tolerances over a 1000mm span via the rear screw.
Choose this 125mm bore when an application requires substantial thrust—such as 6136N push at 0.5 MPa—exceeding the 2513N capacity of the 80mm bore, but without stepping up to the heavier 160mm class. The 40mm adjustment range is ideal for production lines handling varying product sizes, letting you reposition the retract stop on the fly instead of swapping cylinders. For any 1000mm stroke, the unsupported rod length is significant; despite the robust 32mm rod diameter, an external guide is strongly recommended to prevent excessive side-loading and premature seal wear.
When specifying a replacement, ensure you match the 125mm bore, 1000mm stroke, 40mm adjustment, PT port threads, and the -S magnet option. The SAIJ mounting set includes Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2—omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR. Remember that the rear adjuster acts only as a travel stop and the air cushions handle deceleration; neither will hold a load without live air pressure. For dead-load holding, consider an AirTAC SAIL or BSAI cylinder.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 125mm bore cylinder generates 6136N of push force and 5734N of pull force. At a maximum 1.0 MPa pressure, it can deliver up to 1251 kgf.
The rear adjuster screw allows you to shorten the 1000mm nominal stroke by up to 40mm, providing a usable travel window of 960-1000mm. It acts as a mechanical stop to fine-tune the retract end position and does not lock the load without continuous air pressure.
