The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125X165-100 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 165mm 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 SAIJ125X165-100 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that allows you to fine-tune the effective travel anywhere within a 65 to 165 mm window. Delivering 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it handles substantial workloads while allowing precise end-position calibration during commissioning. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for straightforward position feedback integration.
This model uses a 32 mm carbon steel rod with an M27x2 thread, providing excellent rigidity against side loads. The rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop to set the retract distance and is not a locking device. It supports a reduced mounting set of Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, omitting the FB, CA, CB, and CR options found on fixed-stroke variants.

Related SAI-family variants: SAID (double rod), SAIJ (adjustable stroke), SAIL (with lock), SAIF (with valve), BSAI (enclasp / clamp-lock), and SAI-S with built-in magnet. Rod material: carbon steel (blank) / SUS420J2 (A) / SUS304 (B); seals: TPU (blank) / Viton H / NBR N.
Quickly adapt to varying package sizes by dialing the stroke back up to 100 mm, eliminating the need to physically swap out actuators during format changes.
Fine-tune the retract position during machine commissioning to achieve precise mechanical spacing without adding external stopper blocks to the fixture.
Leverage the 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa for high-load pressing operations while maintaining the ability to adjust the travel window for different material thicknesses.
Choose this 125 mm bore when a 100 mm bore's 628 N pull at 0.5 MPa is insufficient for your heavy-duty application. The 100 mm adjustment range is ideal for production lines running mixed product sizes, allowing you to dial in the exact end-stop without physically swapping the cylinder. Because the SAIJ rear adjuster is a travel stop rather than a brake, it cannot hold the load without live air pressure. If your application requires true load-holding in the event of air loss, consider the SAIL pneumatic lock or BSAI clamp-lock series instead.
When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 125 mm bore, 165 mm stroke, up to 100 mm adjustment, PT G1/2 port, and your required mounting interface. Since this model lacks the -S magnet suffix, it cannot host AirTAC CMSE or DMSE sensors without modification.
Quick checklist
At a 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 125 mm bore cylinder provides 6136 N of push force and 5734 N of pull force. It can deliver up to 1251 kgf at its maximum 1.0 MPa pressure rating.
The rear mechanical screw acts as a stopper, allowing you to shorten the 165 mm nominal stroke by up to 100 mm. This creates a usable travel window of 65 to 165 mm. The adjuster only sets the end position and does not lock the load without air pressure.
