The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125X400-20 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 400mm 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 SAIJ125X400-20 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster. It provides a 380-400 mm usable travel window, allowing you to dial back the 400 mm nominal stroke by up to 20 mm during machine commissioning without adding external stops. Delivering 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it is built for heavy-duty positioning.
This bore size uses a robust 32 mm carbon steel rod and M27x2 threads to handle high side loads, though the 400 mm stroke still requires an external guide to prevent rod bending. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, and pneumatic cushioning at both ends decelerates the moving load. The rear stopper sets the retract end position but does not hold the load without live air pressure.

Dial in the exact 380-400 mm retract position during format changes on heavy machinery without swapping out the entire actuator.
Fine-tune the final end-of-stroke position at commissioning using the 20 mm rear adjuster to compensate for mechanical tolerances.
Leverage the 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa for high-thrust pressing and clamping operations requiring precise stroke limits.
Choose this 125 mm bore when you need high force (6136 N push at 0.5 MPa) with fine end-position tuning. Stepping down to a 100 mm bore drops the force to 3927 N, while a 160 mm bore increases it to 10053 N. The adjustable rear screw is ideal for product changeovers where exact end-stops vary, replacing the need to swap a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder.
For dimensionally interchangeable ISO 15552 replacements, match the 125 mm bore, 400 mm stroke, 20 mm adjustment, PT tapered port threads, and standard carbon steel rod. This model uses the reduced SAIJ mounting set (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2) and omits FB, CA, CB, and CR mounts. Because the 400 mm stroke exceeds 300 mm, an external guide is mandatory to manage side loading. If the machine requires the load to stay held without continuous air, select an SAIL or BSAI cylinder, as the SAIJ adjuster is a stop, not a lock.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 125 mm bore cylinder provides 6136 N of push force and 5734 N of pull force. It can deliver up to 1251 kgf at its maximum 1.0 MPa pressure.
The rear adjuster screw allows you to shorten the effective stroke by up to 20 mm, creating a 380-400 mm usable travel window. This stopper sets the retract end position but does not hold the load without live air pressure.
