This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI125AX135, with the same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. The SAI replacement keeps the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, output force and accessories, so it drops straight into existing fixtures. It is the current-production version of this cylinder with an upgraded piston seal.

The AirTAC SI125 Standard Cylinder SI125AX135 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 135mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI125AX135, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI125AX135 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 125 mm bore and 135 mm stroke. Built with an extruded aluminum barrel, it delivers 6136 N push and 5734 N pull at 0.5 MPa, peaking at a 1251 kgf theoretical max. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAI125AX135 direct replacement, matching the exact G1/2 port, M27x2 rod thread, and ISO 15552 mounting interface.
The SAI upgrade features a modernized piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and extended life. This specific SKU includes the SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (A suffix) for corrosion resistance but lacks a magnet, meaning it cannot accept CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. For load holding, note that standard air cushions only decelerate; explore the SAIL or BSAI lock variants.

The SAI125AX135 produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

Legacy SI-family variants: SID (double rod), SIJ (adjustable stroke) — each maps to its SAI equivalent (SID→SAID, SIJ→SAIJ). Rod material: carbon steel (blank) / SUS420J2 (A) / SUS304 (B).
Drives heavy tooling with 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa, utilizing the SUS420J2 stainless rod for corrosion resistance in harsh shop environments.
Holds large fabricated parts during machining, taking advantage of the 125 mm bore's 1251 kgf theoretical max force at 1.0 MPa.
To replace the SI125AX135, order the SAI125AX135. Verify your ISO 15552 mounting fixtures (LB, FA, TC, etc.), the 135 mm stroke, and the G1/2 port. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot support position sensing; if switches are needed, select an SAI125X135S and use current AirTAC sensors. Sizing context: a 125 mm bore yields 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a 100 mm bore offers 3927 N. For vertical loads, a plain cylinder drifts without live air—use an external pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants. Since the stroke is under 300 mm, rod bending risks are low, but always minimize side loads.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI125AX135 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI125AX135. It shares the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 125 mm bore, 135 mm stroke, G1/2 port, and output force, fitting existing fixtures perfectly.
This double-acting cylinder has a G1/2 port. It generates 6136 N push and 5734 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 8590 N push at 0.7 MPa, 11045 N at 0.9 MPa, and a 1251 kgf theoretical max at 1.0 MPa. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI125AX135 replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
