This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI125AX160S, 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 SI125AX160S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 160mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI125AX160S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI125AX160S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 125 mm bore and 160 mm stroke. It delivers 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa via a G1/2 port. The direct replacement is the SAI125AX160S, matching the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, stroke, force, and port size.
The SAI upgrade features a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. This -A variant uses a SUS420J2 stainless rod, and the -S magnet works with CS1-B/DS1-B sensors.

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).
Secures large automotive or structural components during machining, utilizing the 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa to hold heavy steel fixtures firmly in place.
Actuates heavy-duty diverters on high-capacity packaging lines, where the robust 32 mm SUS420J2 stainless rod withstands side-loading and harsh factory environments.
To replace the SI125AX160S, order the SAI125AX160S to retain the identical ISO 15552 mounting interface, 125 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, M27x2 thread, G1/2 port, and -S magnet. For sizing down, the 100 mm bore yields 3927 N at 0.5 MPa; for higher capacity, the 160 mm bore provides 10053 N. If your application requires load holding on air loss, note that a plain cylinder drifts and the 40 mm cushion only decelerates—select the SAIL or BSAI lock variant, or add an external pilot check valve. The Viton H seal option raises the temperature limit to 150 C.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI125AX160S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the AirTAC SAI125AX160S. It shares the identical ISO 15552 mounting interface, 125 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, output force, G1/2 port, and mounting accessories, fitting directly into existing fixtures.
This 125 mm bore cylinder features a G1/2 air port and M27x2 rod thread. The thrust ratings are: 6136 N push and 5734 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 8590 N push at 0.7 MPa, 11045 N push at 0.9 MPa, and a theoretical maximum force of 1251 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI125AX160S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
