The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125X270-20S 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 SAIJ125X270-20-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster. It provides a usable travel window of 250 to 270 mm, allowing you to dial back the nominal 270 mm stroke by up to 20 mm during machine commissioning. This bore size delivers a substantial 8590 N push force at 0.7 MPa, making it suitable for heavy-duty positioning tasks.
Equipped with a -S magnet, the extruded aluminum barrel is compatible with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic sensors, which seat cleanly into the dual-side sensor grooves. The PT tapered port threads (G1/2) and carbon steel rod handle high flow and structural demands, while the rear adjuster acts strictly as a travel stop to fine-tune the retract end without acting as a load-holding brake.

Dial in the exact bottoming position of a 270 mm press stroke within a 20 mm window to accommodate material thickness variations without re-engineering the fixture.
Adjust the retract stopper by up to 20 mm to shift a heavy diverter arm for different package sizes on a high-throughput packaging line.
Leverage 8590 N of thrust at 0.7 MPa to seat heavy automotive components, using the rear screw to fine-tune the final end-stop during initial machine setup.
Select this 125 mm bore when a 100 mm bore (5497 N push at 0.7 MPa) lacks the necessary force for heavy actuation, but you want to avoid stepping up to a massive 160 mm cylinder. The adjustable 250-270 mm travel window is ideal for product changeovers where exact end-position tuning is required without physically swapping cylinders or adding bulky external stops. For load-holding without continuous air pressure, this cylinder is insufficient; you must integrate an external pilot-operated check valve or choose an AirTAC SAIL or BSAI locking cylinder.
Because the 270 mm stroke exceeds the 300 mm threshold requiring external guidance, mounting this cylinder directly via the Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2 interfaces is acceptable without a separate side-load guide, provided the load is purely axial. To match this ISO 15552 replacement exactly, verify the 270 mm stroke, 20 mm adjustment range, PT G1/2 port, and the -S magnet requirement for your DMSE solid-state switches.
Quick checklist
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop that lets you shorten the effective stroke from 270 mm down to a minimum of 250 mm. It sets the travel end and deceleration point, but it does not lock or hold the load without live air pressure.
At a 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the SAIJ125X270-20-S generates 8590 N of push force and 5734 N of pull force. The maximum thrust at 1.0 MPa is 1251 kgf.
