The AirTAC SAIJ160 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ160BX125-40S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 125mm stroke, G3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its standardized mounting interface makes it interchangeable with other ISO 15552 cylinders at the mounting interface.
The AirTAC SAIJ160X125-40-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder equipped with a rear stroke adjuster, providing a usable travel window of 85 to 125 mm. The extruded aluminum barrel features sensor grooves on both sides, and this -S model includes a magnet for use with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic solid-state switches.
This specific SKU features a SUS304 stainless steel rod (code B) and PT tapered port threads. The rear adjuster acts as a mechanical stop to fine-tune the end position during commissioning without adding external stops. Remember that the adjuster and the variable air cushions only decelerate the load; they do not function as a lock. For load-holding without live air pressure, consider an AirTAC SAIL or BSAI cylinder.

Double-rod model: the rod passes through the rear cover, so both piston faces lose rod area and push is shown at the annular-area value. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

Dial in the exact 85 to 125 mm end-stop during heavy press setup to accommodate varying material thicknesses without swapping out the entire cylinder.
Adjust the retract position on the fly during production line changeovers, using the rear stopper to quickly match new product dimensions.
Leverage the built-in magnet and dual sensor grooves to mount CMSE or DMSE switches for precise end-of-stroke signaling in automated assembly.
Choose the adjustable-stroke SAIJ over a fixed-stroke SAI when you need rapid product-size changeovers or precise end-position tuning at machine setup. The SAIJ mounting set includes Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR.
To replace an ISO 15552 cylinder, match the 160 mm bore, 125 mm nominal stroke, 40 mm adjustment range, PT G3/4 port, and the -S magnet. Because the 40 mm rod is robust, it handles higher side loads, but any stroke of 300 mm or more on a larger bore still requires an external guide to prevent binding.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 14074 N.
The rear adjuster acts as a mechanical stop that allows you to trim the effective travel down from the 125 mm nominal stroke, providing a usable adjustment window of 85 to 125 mm. It only sets the travel end and does not lock the load without live air pressure.
