The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125X250-40 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 SAIJ125X250-40 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a rear stroke adjuster, allowing the effective travel to be dialed back by up to 40 mm. This creates a usable 210-250 mm stroke window for precise end-position tuning at commissioning without swapping the unit. In the 125 mm bore class, it generates 6136 N of push force and 5734 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it suited for heavy-duty positioning tasks.
The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for flexible mounting of CMSE and DMSE switches, though this specific configuration omits the internal magnet. It features a 32 mm carbon steel rod with an M27x2 thread, paired with 40 mm variable air cushions at both ends. The rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop to set the retract position and does not hold the load without live air pressure.

Quickly dial in the 210-250 mm retract window during packaging line format changes to accommodate different carton lengths without changing hardware.
Fine-tune the end-of-stroke position during initial commissioning to dial out mechanical interference and set exact clamping distances.
Leverage the 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa to shift heavy workpieces or index sturdy conveyors, using the rear stop to set precise indexing limits.
Choose this 125 mm bore when a 100 mm bore (offering 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa) lacks the thrust for moving heavy pallets, but a 160 mm bore (10053 N push) would be physically oversized. The integrated 40 mm adjuster is ideal for product-size changeovers on a line, letting operators fine-tune the retract distance rather than machining external stop collars. For true load-holding without continuous air, step up to the SAIL or BSAI series, as the SAIJ adjuster is not a lock.
To replace an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 125 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, 40 mm adjustment, PT tapered port thread, and the reduced SAIJ mounting set (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2). Because the 250 mm stroke is below the 300 mm threshold, side-load risks are moderate, but the robust 32 mm rod helps manage deflection better than smaller bores.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, this 125 mm bore cylinder provides 6136 N of push force and 5734 N of pull force. If operated at 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 8590 N.
The rear adjuster screw lets you mechanically shorten the nominal 250 mm stroke by up to 40 mm, creating a 210-250 mm usable travel window. It acts as a physical stop for end-position tuning and is not a locking device.
