The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125X160-20S 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-S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It delivers robust performance with a 6136N pull force at 0.5 MPa and operates at speeds between 30-500 mm/s. The integrated -S magnet enables precise position sensing with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE solid-state switches fitted into the dual-side sensor grooves.
This specific SKU provides a 140-160 mm usable travel window, allowing you to dial back the nominal 160 mm stroke by up to 20 mm. The rear adjustment screw acts purely as a travel stop for end-position tuning during commissioning; it does not hold the load without live air pressure. For true load-holding requirements without continuous air, consider the SAIL or BSAI series.

Dial in the 140-160 mm travel window during machine setup to accommodate slightly different product lengths without physically swapping out the pneumatic cylinder.
Leverage the 6136N pull force to securely seat heavy components, using the rear adjuster to fine-tune the final clamping position precisely.
Utilize the integrated -S magnet with DMSE electronic sensors to confirm end-of-stroke arrival at the adjusted 140 mm minimum retraction point.
Select this 125 mm bore cylinder when your application requires substantial force, such as 6136N pull at 0.5 MPa, combined with variable end-stop positioning. The adjustable 140-160 mm window is ideal for product changeovers on a line, saving the effort of swapping cylinders or adding external stops. If your setup demands less force, stepping down to an 80 mm bore yields 2268N pull, whereas stepping up to a 160 mm bore provides 9425N pull.
As a dimensionally interchangeable ISO 15552 profile cylinder, this model features a PT tapered port, carbon steel rod, and the -S magnet option. It supports a reduced mounting set including Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. Because the 160 mm stroke is relatively short, side-load risks are minimal, but an external guide is always recommended for heavy lateral loads. Note that the rear adjuster is a stop, not a lock.
Quick checklist
The rear adjuster screw allows you to shorten the effective stroke by up to 20 mm, creating a usable travel window of 140-160 mm. This stopper fine-tunes the retract end position during commissioning but does not lock the load without live air pressure.
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, it provides 6136N of pull force and 8590N of push force. The maximum thrust is 1251 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
