The 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 interchangeable with other ISO 15552 cylinders at the mounting interface.
The AirTAC SAIJ125X280-40-S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. 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.

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.

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.
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.
