The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125X165-50S 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 SAIJ125X165-50-S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It provides a usable travel window of 115 to 165 mm, enabling precise end-position tuning during commissioning without swapping the barrel. Operating at 0.5 MPa, it delivers 6136 N of pull force and 5734 N of pull thrust, making it suitable for heavy-duty positioning tasks.
This unit features a carbon steel piston rod and PT tapered ports. The -S variant includes a magnet for position sensing, compatible with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic solid-state switches housed in the dual-side sensor grooves. It supports a speed range of 30-500 mm/s and utilizes a reduced mounting set of Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.

Dial in the exact 115 to 165 mm end-stop during product size transitions without physically replacing the actuator.
Leverage the 6136 N pull force to move heavy fixtures, relying on the external stop for repeatable final positioning.
Fine-tune the stroke length on the fly to accommodate varying part dimensions in automated assembly machinery.
Choose this 125 mm bore when a smaller 100 mm bore (providing 3681 N pull force at 0.5 MPa) lacks the necessary power for your heavy payloads. The 50 mm adjustment window is ideal for product changeovers on a production line, allowing you to dial in the exact end-stop mechanically rather than reprogramming a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder. Remember that the rear adjuster functions purely as a travel stop to decelerate the stroke, not as a locking device. For load-holding without live air pressure, consider the SAIL or BSAI series. As an ISO 15552 interchangeable cylinder, verify your replacement parameters: 125 mm bore, 165 mm stroke, 50 mm adjustment, PT ports, and the -S magnet option.
Quick checklist
It has a nominal 165 mm stroke that can be adjusted back by up to 50 mm, creating a usable travel window of 115 to 165 mm. At 0.5 MPa, it outputs 6136 N of push force and 5734 N of pull force.
No, the rear adjuster acts only as a mechanical stop to set the travel end and does not lock the load. For position holding without live air pressure, you should use an external rod lock or the AirTAC SAIL/BSAI cylinder series.
