The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125X180-20S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 180mm 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 SAIJ125X180-20-S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It delivers a robust 6136N push force at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a 32mm carbon steel rod and M27x2 thread to handle substantial loads. The integrated -S magnet enables precise position detection using AirTAC CMSE reed or DMSE electronic solid-state sensors housed within the dual-side sensor grooves.
This specific SKU features a 180mm nominal stroke that can be dialed back by up to 20mm, creating a 160-180mm usable travel window. This built-in adjustment allows you to fine-tune the retract end position at commissioning without adding external stops. The PT tapered port threads ensure a tight, leak-free pneumatic connection, while the extruded aluminum barrel maintains standard ISO 15552 mounting dimensions.

Dial in the 160-180mm travel window during format changeovers to accommodate varying package sizes without swapping hardware.
Use the rear stopper to micro-adjust the retract end position during machine commissioning, ensuring precise mechanical alignment.
Leverage the 6136N thrust capacity for pressing operations while relying on the built-in stop to prevent over-travel.
Selecting this 125mm bore cylinder provides 6136N of thrust at 0.5 MPa; if your application requires less force, stepping down to a 100mm bore yields 3927N, whereas moving up to a 160mm bore offers 10053N. The adjustable stroke is chosen over a fixed SAI model when you need variable end-stops for rapid product-size changeovers on a line. To match this cylinder for an ISO 15552 replacement, verify the 180mm stroke, 20mm adjustment, PT port threads, and the -S magnet requirement.
Because the 180mm stroke is moderately long, ensure adequate external guiding to prevent excessive side-loading on the M27x2 rod. Remember that the rear adjuster functions strictly as a travel stop to set deceleration, not as a locking device; it will not hold the load without live air pressure. For true load-holding without continuous air, consider an AirTAC SAIL or BSAI cylinder.
Quick checklist
At a standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 125mm bore cylinder provides 6136N of push force and 5734N of pull force. It can reach a maximum push force of 11045N at 0.9 MPa.
The rear adjuster acts as a mechanical stop that shortens the 180mm nominal stroke by up to 20mm, resulting in a 160-180mm usable travel window. It sets the end position but does not lock the load without continuous air pressure.
