The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125X230-20 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 230mm 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 SAIJ125X230-20 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear mechanical stroke adjuster. It provides a 210-230 mm usable travel window, allowing you to dial back the 230 mm nominal stroke by up to 20 mm during commissioning. This bore size delivers 6136 N of push force and 5734 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for heavy-duty positioning tasks.
The integrated adjuster functions purely as an external stop to set the retract end-position and must not be mistaken for a locking mechanism. It uses a PT tapered port and a robust 32 mm carbon steel rod with an M27x2 thread to handle high side loads. For position feedback, the extruded aluminum barrel features dual-sided sensor grooves that accept electronic DMSE or reed CMSE switches, though this specific SKU is configured without a magnet.

Fine-tune the 210-230 mm retract window on the fly during product size transitions without physically swapping the cylinder or bolting on new external stops.
Leverage the 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa to seat heavy components, using the rear stopper to dial in the exact end-position for consistent assembly depth.
Set precise variable end-stops during initial commissioning, relying on the 32 mm carbon steel rod and M27x2 thread to maintain rigidity under heavy loads.
Choose this 125 mm bore adjustable cylinder when your application requires precise retract end-position tuning without adding external stops. If your setup needs less force, stepping down to an 80 mm bore yields 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. For higher dynamics, a 100 mm bore provides 3927 N. The SAIJ series is dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 cylinders, so you can match the 125 mm bore, 230 mm stroke, PT port, and mounting footprint directly.
Because the 230 mm stroke exceeds 300 mm? No, but even at 230 mm, long unsupported loads should use an external guide to prevent rod bending. Remember that the rear adjuster is a travel stop, not a brake. If your machine requires true load-holding without live air pressure, select the SAIL (air-released lock) or BSAI (clamp-lock) series instead. Available mounting options include Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.
Quick checklist
The rear adjuster acts as a mechanical stopper that lets you trim the effective travel back by up to 20 mm. This creates a 210-230 mm usable stroke window, enabling exact end-position tuning at commissioning without changing the cylinder's physical mounting.
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, it provides 6136 N of push force and 5734 N of pull force. If you increase pressure to 0.7 MPa, the push force rises to 8590 N. Note that the adjuster only sets the travel end and does not hold the load without live air.
