The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125X280-40S 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 a drop-in replacement for other ISO 15552 cylinders in automation lines.
The AirTAC SAIJ125X280-40-S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It provides a robust 6136N push force at 0.5 MPa and features a 240-280mm usable travel window, letting you trim the effective stroke by up to 40mm. The PT tapered port threads and carbon steel rod ensure durable, high-pressure operation.
This model includes a magnet (-S) for direct compatibility with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic solid-state sensors, which mount cleanly into the sensor grooves on both sides of the extruded aluminum barrel. The rear screw acts purely as a mechanical stop to fine-tune the end position during commissioning; it is not a locking device and requires live air to maintain load force.

Quickly dial in the 240-280mm travel window during format changes on packaging lines without physically replacing the cylinder.
Fine-tune the retract end-stop during machine commissioning to perfect pressing or clamping force without adding external stops.
Leverage the 6136N thrust to move heavy pallets or fixtures, relying on the 32mm rod to withstand demanding industrial loads.
Select this 125mm bore cylinder when an application demands high thrust (6136N push at 0.5 MPa) alongside variable end-stop positioning. If you need less force, stepping down to a 100mm bore yields 3927N, while moving up to a 160mm bore provides 10053N. The adjustable stroke is ideal for product-size changeovers on a line, eliminating the need to swap out a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder or bolt on external stops.
For an exact ISO 15552 replacement, match the 125mm bore, 280mm stroke, 40mm adjustment range, PT port thread, and -S magnet. Because the 280mm stroke is substantial, the 32mm rod diameter handles significant side loads, but an external guide is still recommended for unsupported loads. Note that the SAIJ mounting set includes Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, deliberately omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR. For load-holding without live air pressure, consider an external rod lock or the SAIL/BSAI series instead.
Quick checklist
The rear adjuster screw allows you to shorten the nominal 280mm stroke by up to 40mm, creating a 240-280mm usable travel window. It functions as a mechanical stop to set the end position and does not lock the load without live air.
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, it provides 6136N of push force and 5734N of pull force. It can reach a maximum push force of 11045N at 0.9 MPa.
