The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125X160-50 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 SAIJ125X160-50 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that allows you to trim the nominal 160 mm stroke back by up to 50 mm, creating a precise 110-160 mm usable travel window. Built with a robust 32 mm carbon steel rod and M27x2 rod thread, it handles heavy loads with 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for direct mounting of position switches.
This model uses PT tapered port threads (G1/2) and incorporates variable air cushions at both ends to manage deceleration. The rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop to set the end position and does not lock the load without live air pressure. For applications requiring position holding without continuous air, consider the SAIL or BSAI series instead.

Dial in the exact end-stop position for varying package sizes on a packaging line without replacing the cylinder or bolting on external stops.
Fine-tune the retract stroke during machine commissioning to synchronize heavy clamping forces across a multi-station fixture.
Set variable ejection distances for heavy parts, utilizing the 110-160 mm travel window to accommodate different die outputs.
Selecting this 125 mm bore cylinder makes sense when your application requires substantial thrust—6136 N at 0.5 MPa or 8590 N at 0.7 MPa. If your force requirements are lower, stepping down to an 80 mm bore yields 2513 N at 0.5 MPa, saving space and air consumption. The adjustable stroke is ideal for machine setups requiring fine end-position tuning during commissioning or product-size changeovers without swapping the cylinder or adding external stops.
When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, match these exact parameters: 125 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, 50 mm adjustment range, PT G1/2 port, and the SAIJ mounting set (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2). Because the 160 mm stroke is relatively short for this bore, side-loading is less critical than with longer strokes, but an external guide is still recommended for heavy offset loads.
Quick checklist
This 125 mm bore cylinder provides a push force of 6136 N and a pull force of 5734 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 8590 N.
The rear adjuster acts as a mechanical stop, allowing you to shorten the 160 mm nominal stroke by up to 50 mm, resulting in a usable travel window of 110-160 mm. It sets the end position but does not hold the load without live air pressure.
