The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125X180-40S 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 SAIJ125X180-40-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, providing a usable travel window of 140 to 180 mm. It features a carbon steel rod and a PT tapered port. Delivering 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it handles heavy loads while allowing you to fine-tune the retract end position during commissioning.
This model includes a magnet (-S) for position sensing with AirTAC CMSE reed or DMSE electronic solid-state switches. The extruded aluminum barrel incorporates sensor grooves on both sides for flexible mounting. The rear adjuster acts purely as a travel stop for end-position tuning, not a lock, meaning live air is required to maintain the load.

Dial in the 140-180 mm travel window during production line changeovers to accommodate different product lengths without replacing hardware.
Fine-tune the retract end position at machine setup using the rear screw, avoiding the need to bolt on external stops or shims.
Leverage the 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa to move heavy pallets or workpieces, stopping precisely at the adjusted end point.
Choose this 125 mm bore when you need substantial thrust, such as the 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa, but require on-the-fly end-position adjustments without swapping cylinders. If your application requires less force, stepping down to a 100 mm bore yields 3927 N; stepping up to a 160 mm bore provides 10053 N. The adjustable 140-180 mm window is perfect for product-size changeovers on a line.
To replace an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 125 mm bore, 180 mm stroke, 40 mm adjustment, PT port, and -S magnet. Mounting options include Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. Because the stroke is 180 mm, side-load is minimal, but always ensure proper alignment. For load-holding without air pressure, use a SAIL or BSAI cylinder instead of relying on the stopper.
Quick checklist
The rear adjuster allows you to shorten the effective stroke by up to 40 mm, creating a usable travel window of 140 to 180 mm. It acts as a mechanical stop to set the end position and does not lock the load without live air pressure.
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 6136 N and the pull force is 5734 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa, it delivers a maximum push force of 1251 kgf.
