The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125X250-100 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 250mm 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 SAIJ125X250-100 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It provides a usable travel window of 150 to 250 mm, allowing you to dial back the 250 mm nominal stroke by up to 100 mm. This bore size delivers substantial thrust, pushing 6136 N and pulling 5734 N at a 0.5 MPa operating pressure.
It features a 32 mm carbon steel piston rod with an M27x2 thread, designed to handle high side-load stresses during heavy actuation. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for direct mounting of CMSE reed or DMSE electronic switches, though a magnet is not specified for this configuration. The rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop to fine-tune the end position and must not be confused with a locking mechanism.

Dial in the exact end position for new part sizes on a machining line by adjusting the rear stopper up to 100 mm without swapping hardware.
Fine-tune the travel window to 150-250 mm during initial setup to perfectly time the stroke sequence with existing machine logic.
Leverage the 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa to move heavy pallets or fixtures, using the adjustable stop to prevent overtravel.
Choose this 125 mm bore when an 80 mm cylinder's 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa is insufficient for moving heavy jigs, but a 160 mm bore providing 10053 N would be excessive overkill. The 100 mm adjustment range is ideal for production lines running mixed product sizes, allowing operators to reposition the end stop during changeovers without physically swapping the cylinder or adding external shims.
Because the 250 mm stroke is under the 300 mm side-load threshold, external guide support is less critical than with longer strokes, though the heavy mass still warrants careful mounting. This SAIJ configuration uses a PT tapered port thread and supports the reduced SAIJ mounting set (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2), omitting the FB, CA, CB, and CR brackets. Remember that the air cushion and rear stopper do not hold loads without live air pressure; for true load-holding, select an SAIL or BSAI series cylinder.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 125 mm bore cylinder generates 6136 N of push force and 5734 N of pull force. At the maximum 1.0 MPa pressure, it delivers 1251 kgf.
The rear adjuster screw lets you mechanically shorten the 250 mm nominal stroke down to 150 mm. This creates a 150-250 mm usable travel window for fine-tuning end positions at commissioning, but it functions only as a stop and does not lock the load without live air.
