The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125X250-40S 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-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, providing a usable travel window of 210 to 250 mm. Delivering 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this large-bore actuator handles demanding operations while allowing you to fine-tune the end position at commissioning without swapping out hardware. The carbon steel rod and M27x2 thread offer robust load transmission for heavy tooling.
This unit includes a magnet for position sensing, working seamlessly with AirTAC CMSE reed switches and DMSE solid-state sensors housed in the dual-side sensor grooves. Fluid ports feature a PT tapered thread, and the extruded aluminum barrel integrates adjustable air cushions at both ends to manage deceleration. The rear stopper acts purely as a travel limit, not a load lock, so live air pressure must be maintained to hold a load.

Quickly adjust the 210-250 mm travel window during packaging line format changes to accommodate different carton sizes without changing the cylinder.
Leverage 6136 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa for heavy pressing tasks while using the rear stopper to precisely set the final mechanical end position.
Fine-tune the retract end-position during initial commissioning to dial in exact stopping points without fabricating external mechanical stops.
Select this 125 mm bore actuator when a 63 mm bore (1559 N at 0.5 MPa) lacks the thrust for heavy moving assemblies, but stepping up to a 160 mm bore (10053 N) would be excessive overkill. The 40 mm rear adjustment screw is chosen over a fixed-stroke SAI when a production line requires variable end-stops for rapid product-size changeovers, letting operators dial in the exact travel limit on the fly.
Because the nominal stroke is 250 mm, the M27x2 piston rod and carbon steel shaft can handle substantial loads, though long unsupported strokes still call for an external guide to prevent side-load damage. For dimensionally interchangeable ISO 15552 replacements, match the 125 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, PT ports, and the -S magnet requirement. The mounting set is limited to Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. If true load-holding without live air is needed, look to the SAIL or BSAI series instead.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it provides 6136 N of push force and 5734 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa the push force increases to 8590 N.
The rear adjuster screw allows you to shorten the effective travel by up to 40 mm from the 250 mm nominal stroke, yielding a usable window of 210 to 250 mm. It functions as a mechanical stop and does not lock the load without live air.
