The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125X160-20 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 160mm 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 SAIJ125X160-20 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It delivers a robust 8590N push force at 0.7 MPa, utilizing a 32mm carbon steel rod and a PT G1/2 port. The integrated rear stopper screw allows you to fine-tune the effective travel, creating a usable 140-160mm stroke window for precise end-position calibration without swapping out the hardware.
This adjustable-stroke design is ideal for product changeovers on the factory floor. The extruded aluminum barrel features sensor grooves on both sides for flexible mounting, and the variable air cushions at both ends decelerate heavy loads smoothly. Remember that the rear adjuster acts only as a travel stop and does not hold the load without live air pressure.

Dial in the exact 140-160mm end-stop during commissioning to perfectly position heavy machining heads without adding external stop blocks.
Quickly adjust the stroke length by up to 20mm to accommodate varying package sizes or pallet heights on an automated packaging line.
Leverage the 8590N push force at 0.7 MPa to push heavy metal billets or molds into position while fine-tuning the retracted resting state.
Select this 125mm bore when a 100mm cylinder (providing 5497N push at 0.7 MPa) is insufficient for moving heavy fixtures, but a 160mm bore is oversized. The 20mm adjustment window is chosen over a fixed SAI cylinder when you need variable end-stops for machine setup or accommodating slight product size variations on a line. To match this ISO 15552 replacement exactly, specify the 125mm bore, 160mm stroke, 20mm adjustment, PT G1/2 port, and no magnet. Mounting options are limited to Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.
Because the 160mm nominal stroke is relatively short for this large bore, side-loading is less of a concern than with longer strokes, but you should still ensure the load is guided to prevent binding. For applications requiring the cylinder to hold its position without continuous air pressure, the SAIJ adjuster will not act as a lock; consider an AirTAC SAIL or BSAI series instead.
Quick checklist
The rear adjuster acts as an external stopper screw that lets you trim the effective stroke back by up to 20mm. This creates a usable travel window of 140-160mm, allowing you to fine-tune the end position at commissioning without changing the cylinder.
At an operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, the SAIJ125X160-20 provides 8590N of push force and 5734N of pull force. It can deliver a maximum push force of 11045N at 0.9 MPa.
