The AirTAC SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125X170-20S 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.
The AirTAC SAIJ125X170-20-S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. This built-in adjustability simplifies commissioning and product-size changeovers without swapping hardware.
This variant includes a magnet for CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors, utilizing the dual sensor grooves machined into the extruded aluminum barrel. It uses a PT tapered port and a robust 32mm carbon steel rod with an M27x2 thread. The mounting set covers Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, deliberately omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR brackets.

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.

Dial in the 150-170mm travel window during format changes on packaging lines, allowing rapid adaptation to different carton heights without changing the cylinder.
Fine-tune the retraction end-stop during machine commissioning to achieve exact material clamping or forming depths, avoiding the cost of custom-machined external stoppers.
Select this 125mm bore when a 63mm cylinder (1402N pull at 0.5MPa) lacks the power for heavy actuation, but an 80mm bore (2268N pull) would be excessive. The adjustable 150-170mm window is perfect for machines that run multiple product sizes, replacing the need for fixed SAI cylinders and external mechanical stops. The rear adjuster acts purely as a travel stop for end-position tuning and relies on the variable air cushion for deceleration; it is not a locking device.
Because the 170mm stroke is below the 300mm threshold, side-load risks are moderate, though the large 32mm rod and M27x2 thread provide excellent resistance to deflection. For load-holding without live air pressure, this cylinder will not suffice—you must integrate an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve, or switch to an AirTAC SAIL or BSAI model. This unit is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552.
Quick checklist
At the maximum operating pressure of 1.0MPa, the push force reaches 12272N.
The rear adjuster screw allows you to shorten the nominal 170mm 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.
