The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125X185-50 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 185mm 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 SAIJ125X185-50 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster. It provides a usable travel window of 135-185 mm, allowing you to dial back the nominal 185 mm stroke by up to 50 mm during machine commissioning. This bore size generates a substantial 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa, making it suitable for heavy-duty positioning tasks.
The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for flexible mounting of CMSE reed or DMSE electronic switches. The standard carbon steel rod features an M27x2 thread, and the unit uses PT tapered port threads (G1/2). Unlike a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder, this model lets you fine-tune the retract end-position without swapping the entire actuator.

Quickly adapt machinery to different product lengths by dialing the stroke back up to 50 mm, eliminating the need to physically swap cylinders during line changeovers.
Leverage the 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa while precisely setting the retract end-position during initial machine commissioning to prevent mechanical interference.
Provide adjustable physical stops for varying assembly depths on the production floor without installing separate external stopper blocks on the equipment frame.
Choose this 125 mm bore actuator when your application requires high thrust but variable end-stop positioning. If your setup needs less force, stepping down to an 80 mm bore yields 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If you require more power, a 160 mm bore provides 10053 N. The 50 mm adjustment range is ideal for product-size changeovers on a line, letting you reposition the end-stop without adding external mechanical stops.
For ISO 15552 replacement matching, ensure you specify the 125 mm bore, 185 mm stroke, 50 mm adjustment range, PT port threads, and the required mounting accessory from the SAIJ set: Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2. Because the 185 mm stroke is relatively short for this bore, side-load stress is minimal, but an external guide is still recommended for heavy loads. Remember, the rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock; for load-holding without live air, consider the SAIL or BSAI series.
Quick checklist
It features a rear adjuster screw that acts as a mechanical stop, allowing you to shorten the effective travel from 185 mm down to a minimum of 135 mm. This provides a 50 mm tuning window to fine-tune the retract end position without changing the cylinder.
At an operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, this 125 mm bore cylinder generates a push force of 6136 N and a pull force of 5734 N. It can deliver up to 1251 kgf at its maximum rated pressure of 1.0 MPa.
