The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125X85-40 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 85mm 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 SAIJ125X85-40 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear-mounted stroke adjuster. It provides a usable travel window of 45 to 85 mm, allowing you to dial back the 85 mm nominal stroke by up to 40 mm during commissioning. In this bore size, it delivers 6136 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa and reaches a maximum of 1251 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
This model uses a robust 32 mm carbon steel rod with an M27x2 thread, providing high rigidity against side loads. It includes variable air cushions at both ends with a 40 mm cushion length to manage kinetic energy. The extruded aluminum barrel features sensor grooves on both sides, and because no magnet is specified, it operates without position sensing hardware.

Fine-tune the clamping travel between 45 and 85 mm on machining fixtures to accommodate different part thicknesses without mechanical rebuilds.
Adjust the retract position on packaging conveyors during product size transitions, using the rear screw to set the exact 45-85 mm diverting distance.
Dial in the exact pressing depth during machine setup, using the 125 mm bore's 6136 N pull force to execute precise, repeatable forming operations.
Choose this 125 mm bore when an application requires substantial thrust that a 100 mm bore cannot provide, or step down to a 100 mm bore (offering 3681 N pull at 0.5 MPa) if your force requirements are lower. The 40 mm adjustment range is ideal for product changeovers on a packaging line, letting you set variable end-stops without swapping the cylinder or adding external stops. Standard PT tapered ports and a basic mounting footprint make it dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 cylinders.
Remember that the rear adjuster acts only as a travel stop, not a lock; it will not hold a load without live air pressure. For applications requiring true load-holding, consider the SAIL or BSAI series. Because the nominal stroke is under 300 mm, external guide requirements are minimized compared to longer strokes, though heavy loads should still be properly supported.
Quick checklist
The cylinder has a nominal stroke of 85 mm with a 40 mm adjustment range, creating a usable travel window of 45 to 85 mm. You turn the rear stopper screw to fine-tune the retract end position without swapping the cylinder.
At 0.5 MPa, it provides 6136 N of pull force and 8590 N of push force. At the maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa, it can deliver up to 1251 kgf.
