About the Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125X180-20
The AirTAC SAIJ125X180-20 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, delivering 6136N of push force at 0.5 MPa. By turning the integrated stopper screw, you can dial back the 180mm nominal stroke by up to 20mm, creating a precise 160-180mm usable travel window. This on-machine fine-tuning eliminates the need to swap cylinders or bolt on external stops during product changeovers.
Built with a carbon steel piston rod and an M27x2 rod thread, this large-bore unit handles substantial side loads while operating at speeds of 30-500mm/s. The extruded aluminum barrel features sensor grooves on both sides for CMSE reed and DMSE electronic switches. It supports a specific mounting subset of Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, omitting the FB, CA, CB, and CR foot and pivot options.

Where the Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125X180-20 Is Used
Product Size Changeovers
Dial in the exact end-stop position for different part lengths on a single machine bed without physically swapping out the entire actuator.
Heavy Pressing Operations
Leverage the 6136N thrust at 0.5MPa for pressing or forming tasks, using the 20mm adjuster to compensate for tooling wear over time.
Machine Commissioning
Fine-tune the 160-180mm travel window during initial setup to perfectly time the stroke endpoint without adding external mechanical spacers.
Is the Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125X180-20 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 125mm bore when an 80mm cylinder's 2513N push at 0.5MPa is insufficient, but a 160mm bore's 10053N would be excessive. The adjustable 160-180mm travel window is ideal for commissioning setups where the exact end-of-stroke position varies slightly, providing a variable end-stop rather than forcing you to machine custom spacer blocks. Unlike a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder, this SAIJ model allows you to trim the retract position on the fly.
For replacements, match the 125mm bore, 180mm stroke, 20mm adjustment, PT tapered port thread, and the required mounting accessory. Note that the rear adjuster acts only as a travel stop and the air cushions provide deceleration; neither will hold a load without live air pressure. For true load-holding, select an SAIL air-released lock or BSAI clamp-lock cylinder instead.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — consider a guided cylinder
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (FA/FB/CA/CB/LB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125X180-20 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 125mm bore cylinder provides 6136N of push force and 5734N of pull force. At the maximum 1.0 MPa pressure, it can deliver up to 1251 kgf of thrust.
The rear adjuster screw lets you shorten the 180mm nominal stroke by up to 20mm, resulting in a usable travel window of 160-180mm. This allows you to set the exact retract end-position during commissioning without replacing the cylinder.
