The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125X550-20S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 550mm 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 SAIJ125X550-20-S is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It delivers a robust 6136N push force at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to 11045N at 0.9 MPa. The integrated -S magnet enables position detection using AirTAC CMSE reed or DMSE solid-state sensors housed in the dual-sided barrel grooves.
This specific SKU provides a 550 mm nominal stroke that can be dialed back by up to 20 mm, yielding a 530-550 mm usable travel window. This built-in adjuster acts purely as a mechanical stop to fine-tune the retract end position during commissioning; it does not hold the load without live air pressure. The standard carbon steel rod features an M27x2 thread, and the unit uses a PT tapered port.

Dial in the exact retract position within the 530-550 mm window during machine assembly without machining new spacers.
Quickly adapt a packaging line to different carton lengths by turning the rear adjuster screw on the fly.
Leverage the 6136N thrust at 0.5 MPa to move heavy jigs, using the fine-tune stop to prevent over-travel.
Choose this 125 mm bore when an 80 mm cylinder (providing 2513N push at 0.5 MPa) lacks the thrust for heavy positioning tasks, but a 160 mm bore is physically oversized. The 20 mm adjustment window is ideal for product changeovers, allowing you to shift the end-stop without swapping the cylinder or adding external stops. For load-holding without continuous air, select a SAIL or BSAI cylinder instead, as this adjuster is not a lock.
Because the 550 mm stroke is substantial, the 32 mm rod diameter and M27x2 thread will handle high stresses, but an external guide is strongly recommended to prevent side-loading damage. To match this ISO 15552 replacement, verify the 125 mm bore, 550 mm stroke, 20 mm adjuster, PT G1/2 port, and the Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2 mounting style.
Quick checklist
The rear adjuster acts as a mechanical stop that shortens the effective stroke by up to 20 mm, giving a 530-550 mm travel window. It is used for fine-tuning end positions at commissioning but does not lock or hold the load without live air.
It provides 6136N of push force and 5734N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. At 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 11045N.
