The AirTAC SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125X120-40 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 120mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its standardized mounting interface makes it interchangeable with other ISO 15552 cylinders at the mounting interface.
It features a 125mm bore, a 120mm nominal stroke, and a PT-tapered G1/2 port. The integrated rear adjusting screw allows you to shorten the effective travel by up to 40mm, creating a precise 80-120mm usable stroke window without changing the cylinder itself.
This fine end-position tuning is ideal for machine setup and product changeovers, eliminating the need for external stops. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, though this configuration omits the magnet, meaning CMSE or DMSE electronic switches cannot be used without adding the -S option. The carbon steel rod and M27x2 thread provide robust durability for heavy loads, while the standard variable air cushions at both ends manage deceleration across the 30-500mm/s speed range.

Double-rod model: the rod passes through the rear cover, so both piston faces lose rod area and push is shown at the annular-area value. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

Dial in the 80-120mm stroke window during format changes on packaging lines, avoiding the need to physically swap cylinders for different package sizes.
Precisely set the retract end-position at commissioning without bolting on external mechanical stops, streamlining the machine build process.
If you need less force, stepping down to a 100mm bore yields 3927N; if you need more, a 160mm bore provides 10053N. The SAIJ125X120-40 is selected over a fixed-stroke SAI specifically when commissioning requires dialing in the exact retract distance within its 80-120mm window.
Because the nominal stroke is 120mm, an external guide is not strictly required for side-load support, but the robust M27x2 thread helps manage torsional stress. Remember that the rear adjuster acts only as a travel stop, not a lock; the cylinder will not hold its load without live air. For load-holding without pressure, consider an AirTAC SAIL or BSAI cylinder. When replacing an ISO 15552 unit, match the 125mm bore, 120mm stroke, 40mm adjustment, G1/2 port, and mounting set (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2).
Quick checklist
At 0.9MPa, the push force increases to 11045N.
The rear adjuster screw allows you to shorten the 120mm nominal stroke by up to 40mm, providing an adjustable travel window of 80-120mm. The adjuster acts as a travel stop and does not lock the load without live air pressure.
