The AirTAC SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125X280-40 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 280mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its standardized mounting interface makes it interchangeable with other ISO 15552 cylinders at the mounting interface.
The AirTAC SAIJ125X280-40 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that allows you to fine-tune the effective travel window from 240 to 280 mm. By turning the external stopper screw at commissioning, you can dial in the exact retract position without swapping the cylinder or adding external stops.
The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for direct mounting of CMSE reed or DMSE solid-state switches if a magnet is specified later. The 32 mm carbon steel rod and M27x2 rod thread provide high tensile strength and excellent side-load tolerance, while the PT tapered port ensures a robust, leak-free pneumatic connection. The rear adjuster acts purely as a mechanical travel stop to set the end position; it does not lock or hold the load without live air pressure.

Double-rod model: the rod passes through the rear cover, so both piston faces lose rod area and push is shown at the annular-area value. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

Rapidly adjust the retract end-stop from 240 to 280 mm to accommodate different product lengths on a packaging line without changing hardware.
Fine-tune the end-of-stroke position during initial commissioning to perfectly time heavy-duty machinery cycles and prevent overtravel.
Select this 125 mm bore when your application requires high thrust forces that smaller bores cannot deliver; stepping down to a 100 mm bore would reduce your 0.5 MPa push force from 6136 N to 3927 N. The adjustable stroke is ideal for machine setups requiring variable end-stops or product-size changeovers, offering flexibility that a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder cannot match. Because the rear adjuster only restricts travel and the air cushions manage deceleration, neither component will hold a suspended load. For dead-load holding without live air pressure, consider an AirTAC SAIL pneumatic lock or BSAI clamp-lock cylinder. When replacing an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 125 mm bore, 280 mm stroke, 40 mm adjustment range, G1/2 port, and standard mounting options (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2).
Quick checklist
If pressure is increased to 0.7 MPa, the push force scales up to 8590 N.
The nominal 280 mm stroke can be mechanically reduced by up to 40 mm via a rear stopper screw, creating a usable travel window of 240 to 280 mm. This allows you to fine-tune the retract end-position at commissioning without external stops.
