The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125X85-50 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 SAIJ125X85-50 is a double-acting, single-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster. It delivers 6136N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it suited for heavy-duty positioning tasks. By integrating an external adjusting screw at the rear, this specific SKU provides a usable travel window of 35 to 85 mm, allowing you to dial back the nominal 85 mm stroke by up to 50 mm without swapping out the unit.
This adjuster functions strictly as a mechanical stop for end-position tuning and works in tandem with the standard variable air cushions at both ends to manage deceleration. It is not a locking mechanism and requires continuous live air to hold a load. The extruded aluminum barrel features sensor grooves on both sides, and while this configuration omits a magnet, adding the -S option enables compatibility with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic solid-state sensors.

Quickly reconfigure the stroke length by up to 50 mm on packaging lines handling varying container sizes, minimizing downtime between production runs.
Fine-tune the retract end-position during commissioning to perfectly align heavy 125 mm bore clamping forces without adding external mechanical stops.
Dial in the exact 35 to 85 mm travel window required for delicate material forming operations where over-travel could damage the workpiece.
Selecting this 125 mm bore cylinder makes sense when your application requires substantial thrust—such as the 6136N push or 5734N pull at 0.5 MPa—but demands flexibility in the final end-stop position. If your setup only needs a fixed 85 mm travel without commissioning adjustments, the standard SAI fixed-stroke cylinder is a simpler alternative. Conversely, if you need to drop to a smaller footprint, an 80 mm bore provides 2513N push force at 0.5 MPa. For load-holding without live air pressure, this plain SAIJ is insufficient; you should look toward the SAIL air-released lock or BSAI clamp-lock cylinders, or employ an external pilot-operated check valve.
To match this exact ISO 15552 interchangeable footprint, confirm a 125 mm bore, 85 mm nominal stroke, 50 mm adjustment range, PT tapered port threads, and standard carbon steel rod material. Mounting choices are restricted to the SAIJ subset: Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, deliberately omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR brackets. Because the stroke is under 300 mm, side-load concerns are minimal, but the robust 32 mm rod and M27x2 thread handle substantial off-center loads better than smaller bores.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 125 mm bore cylinder provides 6136N of push force and 5734N of pull force. If you increase the pressure to 0.7 MPa, the push force rises to 8590N.
The rear adjusting screw acts as a mechanical stopper that lets you trim the effective stroke back from the 85 mm nominal length by up to 50 mm, creating a usable travel window of 35 to 85 mm. It only sets the end position and does not lock the load without live air.
