The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125X425-20S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 425mm 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 SAIJ125X425-20-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, providing a usable travel window of 405 to 425 mm. It delivers 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it suitable for heavy-duty positioning tasks. The integrated magnet supports position sensing via AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic switches.
This model features a carbon steel piston rod with an M27x2 thread and PT tapered ports. The extruded aluminum barrel incorporates sensor grooves on both sides. You can fine-tune the retract end-position at commissioning without swapping the cylinder or adding external stops, while the variable air cushions manage end-of-stroke deceleration.

Dial in the exact 405-425 mm end-stop during press commissioning to accommodate different material thicknesses without changing the cylinder.
Adjust the retract position on the fly for varying package sizes on a packaging line, using the 20 mm trim range to set precise indexing.
Leverage the 6136 N push force to move heavy pallets into place, relying on the rear screw to fine-tune the final resting position.
Choose this 125 mm bore when a smaller 100 mm cylinder (providing 3927 N at 0.5 MPa) lacks the necessary thrust, but a larger 160 mm bore is excessive. The 20 mm adjustment range is ideal for dialing in exact end stops during machine setup or product changeovers, avoiding the need to physically swap a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder. Because the nominal stroke is 425 mm, an external guide should be used to support the load and mitigate side-load stress on the M27x2 rod.
For a true ISO 15552 replacement match, verify the 125 mm bore, 425 mm stroke, 20 mm adjustment, PT ports, and the -S magnet option. The rear adjuster acts only as a travel stop and does not hold the load without live air; for load-holding requirements, consider an AirTAC SAIL or BSAI cylinder. Mounting options are limited to Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.
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 reach a maximum push force of 11045 N at 0.9 MPa.
The rear adjuster screw allows you to shorten the effective travel from the 425 mm nominal stroke down to 405 mm. This stopper fine-tunes the end position but does not lock the load without continuous air pressure.
