The AirTAC SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125X170-20 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 170mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its standardized mounting interface makes it interchangeable with other ISO 15552 cylinders at the mounting interface.
It features a 32mm carbon steel rod with an M27x2 thread and a G1/2 port. By turning the rear screw, you can trim the effective travel into a precise 150-170mm window, which is ideal for dialing in exact end positions during commissioning.
This adjustable stopper allows you to fine-tune the retract position without swapping out the cylinder or adding external stops. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, and while this unit omits a magnet, adding an -S magnet enables tracking with AirTAC CMSE (reed) or DMSE (electronic) switches. The rear adjuster acts purely as a travel stop and does not hold the load without live air pressure.

Double-rod model: the rod passes through the rear cover, so both piston faces lose rod area and push is shown at the annular-area value. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

Quickly dial in the 150-170mm travel window during format changes on packaging lines without physically swapping cylinders.
Fine-tune the exact retract end position at commissioning to perfect tooling alignment without machining custom spacers.
The 150-170mm adjustable travel window is highly beneficial for product-size changeovers on a line, whereas a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder would require mechanical shims. For load-holding without continuous air pressure, you must integrate an external rod lock or look at the SAIL or BSAI series, as the SAIJ adjuster is strictly a stop.
When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 125mm bore, 170mm nominal stroke, G1/2 port (PT tapered thread), and the reduced SAIJ mounting set (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2—omitting FB, CA, CB, CR). With a 170mm stroke, the 32mm rod handles side loads well, but any long unsupported tooling should still use an external guide to prevent binding.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 8590N.
The rear adjuster screw allows you to shorten the 170mm nominal stroke by up to 20mm, creating a usable travel window of 150-170mm. This stopper sets the end position but does not lock the load without live air pressure.
