The AirTAC Airtac SAI125 Standard Air Cylinder SAI125BX125 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 125mm 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 SAI125X125 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation. It delivers a substantial push force of 6136 N and a pull force of 5734 N at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for high-thrust pressing and heavy load manipulation within a 125 mm stroke. The extruded aluminum barrel eliminates tie-rods, providing a clean exterior that integrates seamlessly into ISO 15552 mounting systems.
This specific configuration features a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod (option B) for superior corrosion resistance in washdown or chemically exposed environments. It utilizes tapered PT port threads and operates without a magnet. For applications requiring end-position holding under pressure loss, consider the related SAIL (air-released lock) or BSAI (bidirectional clamp-lock) variants, as the standard adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston and do not prevent drift.

Related SAI-family variants: SAID (double rod), SAIJ (adjustable stroke), SAIL (with lock), SAIF (with valve), BSAI (enclasp / clamp-lock), and SAI-S with built-in magnet. Rod material: carbon steel (blank) / SUS420J2 (A) / SUS304 (B); seals: TPU (blank) / Viton H / NBR N.
Provides the 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa required for metal forming, riveting, and heavy assembly press operations.
Utilizes the SUS304 stainless steel rod to reliably eject finished plastic parts while resisting mold-release chemical exposure.
Drives robust routing arms on high-mass conveyor lines, moving heavy pallets with precise 125 mm actuation.
Choose this 125 mm bore when 100 mm (3927 N push at 0.5 MPa) lacks the necessary power, but avoid stepping up to the massive 160 mm bore (10053 N) unless absolutely required for extreme loads. The 125 mm stroke keeps the rod fully supported, minimizing bearing wear compared to longer extensions. Operating speed ranges from 30-500 mm/s.
To replace an existing cylinder, verify the 125 mm bore, 125 mm stroke, G1/2 port size, and mounting accessory type (such as LB foot or TC trunnion). Because this model lacks a magnet (-S), it cannot support CMSE or DMSE sensor switches; if position feedback is needed, select a magnet-equipped version. Remember that standard double-acting cylinders drift when air is removed; utilize a SAIL variant if the load must be mechanically locked in place.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the SAI125X125 generates 6136 N of push force and 5734 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 8590 N.
Yes, the SAI125X125 is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 standards. Ensure your existing setup matches the 125mm bore, 125mm stroke, G1/2 port, and mounting interface for a drop-in replacement.
