The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125X270-100S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 270mm 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 SAIJ125X270-100-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a rear mechanical stroke adjuster. It features a 125 mm bore and a 270 mm nominal stroke that can be dialed back by up to 100 mm, yielding a precise 170-270 mm usable travel window. This wide adjustment band allows operators to tune the retract end-position during commissioning or product changeovers without swapping out the physical cylinder or adding external stops. At 0.5 MPa, it generates 6136 N of push force and 5734 N of pull force, placing it firmly in the heavy-duty thrust class.
This unit includes a standard carbon steel piston rod and a -S magnet for position sensing. The integrated magnet triggers AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic solid-state switches housed in the dual-side sensor grooves of the extruded aluminum barrel. Fluid supply routes through PT G1/2 tapered ports, and the unit reaches speeds of 30-500 mm/s. The rear adjuster acts purely as a travel stop to set deceleration endpoints; it does not hold the load without live air pressure. For load-holding requirements without continuous air, consider an external rod lock or related AirTAC series like SAIL or BSAI.

Related SAI-family variants: SAID (double rod), SAIJ (adjustable stroke), SAIL (with lock), SAIF (with valve), BSAI (enclasp / clamp-lock), and SAI-S with built-in magnet. Rod material: carbon steel (blank) / SUS420J2 (A) / SUS304 (B); seals: TPU (blank) / Viton H / NBR N.
Dial the stroke back by up to 100 mm when switching a packaging line to a shorter box format, using the rear stopper to set the new end position without changing the cylinder.
Leverage the 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa for pressing bearings or forming parts, fine-tuning the exact retraction point during machine commissioning.
Use the 170-270 mm travel window to accommodate varying material lengths on an automated assembly line, setting the precise retract distance via the external screw.
Selecting this 125 mm bore over the neighboring 100 mm version nearly doubles your thrust, stepping up from 3927 N to 6136 N at 0.5 MPa. The 100 mm adjustment range is ideal when a single machine must process multiple product sizes, letting you shift the end-stop by 100 mm on the fly instead of maintaining a stock of fixed-stroke SAI cylinders. When specifying an ISO 15552 replacement, match the 125 mm bore, 270 mm stroke, 100 mm adjuster, PT G1/2 port, and the -S magnet requirement. Mounting options are limited to the SAIJ subset: Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 (omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR).
Because the 270 mm stroke is substantial, the 32 mm carbon steel rod and M27x2 thread provide a robust interface, but long unsupported strokes still require an external guide to prevent rod deflection and premature seal wear. The adjustable rear stopper sets the travel end but is not a lock. If the application requires the cylinder to hold a load statically without live air, you must integrate a pilot-operated check valve or switch to a SAIL air-released lock or BSAI clamp-lock cylinder.
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. At the maximum 1.0 MPa pressure, it can deliver up to 1251 kgf of push thrust.
The rear adjuster acts as a mechanical stop that shortens the effective travel from the 270 mm nominal stroke down to a minimum of 170 mm. It sets the retract end-position for fine-tuning but does not lock or hold the load without continuous air pressure.
