The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125X260-30S 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 SAIJ125X260-30-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, enabling a usable travel window of 230 to 260 mm. It delivers a robust 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for heavy-duty positioning tasks. The extruded aluminum barrel features sensor grooves on both sides, and this -S variant includes a magnet for direct compatibility with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic solid-state sensors.
A defining feature of this SAIJ series is the external rear stopper, which allows technicians to fine-tune the retract end-position during commissioning without swapping the cylinder or adding external stops. The adjuster acts purely as a travel stop, meaning it decelerates the stroke end but will not hold the load without live air pressure. For load-holding requirements, consider the SAIL or BSAI series instead.

Leverage the 6136 N push force to move heavy pallets while using the rear adjuster to tune the final stopping distance.
Utilize the integrated magnet with DMSE solid-state sensors to confirm end-of-stroke arrival at the adjusted mechanical stop.
Select this 125 mm bore cylinder when an application requires substantial thrust, such as the 6136 N push or 5734 N pull at 0.5 MPa, combined with variable end-stop positioning. If your setup demands less force, stepping down to a 100 mm bore yields 3927 N push force, whereas moving up to a 160 mm bore provides 10053 N. The adjustable 230-260 mm travel window is ideal for product-size changeovers on a line, preventing the need to maintain separate fixed-stroke SAI cylinders for every variation.
When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 125 mm bore, 260 mm nominal stroke, 30 mm adjustment range, PT tapered port thread, and the -S magnet requirement. This model operates at speeds of 30-500 mm/s. Although the 32 mm diameter carbon steel rod and M27x2 thread handle high axial loads well, any stroke over 300 mm requires an external guide to prevent side-load damage.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 125 mm bore cylinder provides 6136 N of push force and 5734 N of pull force. The maximum thrust is 1251 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the rear adjuster functions only as a travel stop to set the end position within the 230-260 mm window. It does not lock or hold the load without live air pressure; for load-holding, use an SAIL or BSAI cylinder.
