The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125X260-100 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 260mm 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 SAIJ125X260-100 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster that allows you to fine-tune the effective travel anywhere within a 160 to 260 mm window. This built-in adjustability is ideal for product changeovers, letting you shift the end-stop at commissioning without physically swapping the actuator or adding external stops. Delivering 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it handles heavy positioning tasks with precision.
This 125 mm bore actuator uses a G1/2 port and a 32 mm carbon steel rod with an M27x2 thread, providing a robust interface that tolerates higher side loads than smaller bores. It relies on variable air cushions at both ends to decelerate the load smoothly, but because the rear screw is strictly a travel stop and not a lock, it will not hold a load without live air pressure. For position-holding requirements, consider the SAIL or BSAI series instead.

Dial in the exact retract distance between 160 and 260 mm during machine setup to accommodate different material thicknesses without machining new hard stops.
Quickly adjust the stroke on packaging lines when switching between product sizes, using the rear screw to set the new final position rapidly.
Leverage the 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa to secure heavy workpieces, tuning the clamping travel window to prevent over-travel.
Choose this adjustable-stroke model when your fixture requires variable end-position tuning across a 160 to 260 mm range, whereas a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder locks you into a single 260 mm endpoint. If your application demands less thrust, stepping down to an 80 mm bore yields 2513 N at 0.5 MPa; conversely, a 160 mm bore provides 10053 N for heavier loads. When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 125 mm bore, 260 mm stroke, 100 mm adjustment, PT tapered port, and mounting choice from the SAIJ subset (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2).
Because the 260 mm stroke exceeds the 300 mm threshold requiring external guidance, side-load is manageable here, but long unsupported strokes still necessitate an external guide to prevent rod binding. The standard carbon steel rod and NBR/TPU seals suit general industrial use, while optional Viton H seals handle higher ambient temperatures.
Quick checklist
The rear adjuster acts as an external stopper that lets you shorten the effective stroke by up to 100 mm, providing a usable travel window of 160 to 260 mm. It sets the end position but does not lock the load without live air pressure.
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, it provides 6136 N of push force and 5734 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 8590 N.
