The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ125 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ125X900-20 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 900mm 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 SAIJ125X900-20 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, delivering 6136N of push force at 0.5 MPa. It features a carbon steel piston rod and PT tapered ports. The integrated rear stopper allows you to fine-tune the effective travel within an 880-900mm window, providing precise end-position control without requiring external physical stops.
This adjustable-stroke design is ideal for high-force applications needing variable endpoints during product changeovers. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for flexible switch mounting. While the rear screw sets the travel limit and the variable air cushions decelerate the load, neither component acts as a lock to hold the load without live air pressure.

Dial in the 880-900mm travel window during line changeovers to accommodate slightly different product lengths without swapping out the entire actuator.
Leverage the 6136N push force at 0.5 MPa for heavy pressing or lifting operations, using the rear stopper to precisely set the final end position.
Fine-tune the machine cycle at startup by adjusting the rear screw up to 20mm, ensuring perfect alignment without adding bulky external stopper blocks.
Choose this 125mm bore cylinder when a smaller 100mm bore (providing 3927N push at 0.5 MPa) lacks the necessary thrust, but stepping up to a 160mm bore is unnecessary. The 20mm adjustment range is selected over a fixed-stroke SAI cylinder when a machine requires minor endpoint tuning at commissioning to accommodate slight product size variations. To replace an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 900mm stroke, 20mm adjustment, PT port thread, and mounting style. Note that SAIJ supports Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 mounts, omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR options.
Because the 900mm stroke is substantial, the 32mm carbon steel rod and M27x2 thread will still require an external guide to prevent excessive side-loading on the piston. For load-holding without continuous air pressure, a plain SAIJ is insufficient; consider an AirTAC SAIL or BSAI locking cylinder instead.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 125mm bore cylinder provides 6136N of push force and 5734N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 8590N.
The rear adjuster screw acts as a mechanical stop, allowing you to shorten the nominal 900mm stroke by up to 20mm. This creates a usable travel window of 880-900mm for fine-tuning the retract end position without replacing the cylinder.
