The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125X290-40 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 SAIJ125X290-40 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster. It provides a nominal 290 mm stroke that can be dialed back by up to 40 mm, yielding a usable travel window of 250 to 290 mm for precise end-position tuning. Built with a carbon steel piston rod and PT tapered ports, it delivers a robust 6136 N pull force at 0.5 MPa, scaling to 11045 N at 0.9 MPa.
This adjustable model allows you to fine-tune the retract end-position at commissioning or during product changeovers without swapping the cylinder or adding external stops. The rear adjuster functions strictly as a travel stop to set the end-point and relies on the integrated variable air cushions for deceleration; it does not hold the load without live air pressure. For load-holding requirements without continuous air, consider the SAIL or BSAI series instead.

Dial in the 250-290 mm travel window during product size transitions on packaging lines without disassembling the actuator.
Leverage the 11045 N push force at 0.9 MPa for heavy-duty joining or forming tasks that require precise end-of-stroke positioning.
Fine-tune the retract end-position during initial machine setup to dial out mechanical tolerances and achieve exact stopping points.
Choose this 125 mm bore when an application demands high thrust—stepping down to a 100 mm bore drops the 0.5 MPa pull force to 3681 N, whereas this SAIJ125X290-40 provides 6136 N. The adjustable 250-290 mm travel window is ideal for machinery requiring variable end-stops during format changes, offering greater setup flexibility than a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder. Because the stroke is 290 mm, the 32 mm diameter carbon steel rod and M27x2 thread provide a rigid interface, but an external guide rail is still recommended to manage side loads on the extended rod.
When specifying a replacement, verify the 125 mm bore, 290 mm stroke, 40 mm adjustment range, PT port threads, and the reduced SAIJ mounting set (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2—omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR). As this unit lacks the -S magnet option, position sensing requires external proximity switches rather than the AirTAC CMSE reed or DMSE electronic sensors.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 125 mm bore cylinder provides 6136 N of pull force and 6136 N of push force. At 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 11045 N.
The rear adjuster acts as a mechanical stop that shortens the effective stroke by up to 40 mm, creating a usable travel window of 250 to 290 mm. It sets the end-position and deceleration point, but it is not a lock and will not hold the load without live air pressure.
