The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125X290-20 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 290mm 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 SAIJ125X290-20 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, delivering a robust 6136N pull force at 0.5 MPa. By turning the external stopper screw, you can fine-tune the effective travel within a 270-290 mm window, eliminating the need to swap cylinders during product changeovers. The standard carbon steel rod and PT tapered port threads ensure durable, leak-free pneumatic connections in heavy-duty environments.
Because this is an adjustable-stroke variant, the mounting interface is limited to Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 footprints, intentionally omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR brackets. The extruded aluminum barrel features sensor grooves on both sides for straightforward position feedback, though this specific configuration omits the magnet required for AirTAC CMSE reed or DMSE electronic switches.

Dial in the 270-290 mm travel window during line changeovers to accommodate varying package sizes without swapping out the entire actuator.
Fine-tune the end-of-stroke position during machine commissioning to achieve exact clamping contact on heavy workpieces before applying full 0.7 MPa operating pressure.
Adjust the rear stopper screw to set precise retraction limits for heavy-duty material ejection systems that require flexible positioning.
Select this 125 mm bore when your application requires high thrust combined with variable end-stop positioning, such as dialing in a precise clamping distance on the fly. If you need less force, stepping down to an 80 mm bore yields 2268N of pull at 0.5 MPa, whereas moving up to a 160 mm bore provides 9425N. For fixed-travel tasks that never require commissioning adjustments, a standard SAI cylinder is a simpler choice. To replace this unit, match the 125 mm bore, 290 mm stroke, 20 mm adjustment, PT G1/2 port, and the required mounting bracket.
With a 290 mm stroke, the M27x2 piston rod is highly susceptible to side-loading forces; always guide the load externally to prevent premature seal wear. Furthermore, the rear adjuster acts strictly as a mechanical travel stop and does not hold the load without live air pressure. For fail-safe load holding, consider an AirTAC SAIL pneumatic lock or BSAI clamp-lock cylinder.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 125 mm bore cylinder provides 6136N of pull force and 6136N of push force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 8590N.
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop, allowing you to shorten the effective travel from 290 mm down to 270 mm. This provides a 20 mm adjustable window for fine-tuning end positions at commissioning without adding external stops.
