This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI125AX425S, 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 SI125AX425S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 425mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI125AX425S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI125AX425S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 125 mm bore, 425 mm stroke, and a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod. It delivers 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa via a G1/2 port. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAI125AX425S, a direct upgrade retaining the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, and output force.
The SAI replacement introduces an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and extended life. For applications needing load holding, the SAI family adds SAIL and BSAI lock variants the SI lacked.

| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 1251 kgf | |
The SAI125AX425S 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).
Applies the 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa to seat and form heavy metal components in automated stamping lines.
Shifts loaded pallets laterally using the 313 kg vertical lift margin, relying on the 425 mm stroke to clear conveyor boundaries.
Drives large injection molds where the SUS420J2 stainless rod resists corrosion from ambient humidity and cooling sprays.
To replace the SI125AX425S, order the SAI125AX425S. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, G1/2 port, M27x2 rod thread, and the -S magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. The SAI accepts current AirTAC switches. If sizing down, a 100 mm bore yields 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa; sizing up to 160 mm provides 10053 N. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates—so use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for holding. The 425 mm stroke requires external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI125AX425S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI125AX425S. It shares the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 125 mm bore, 425 mm stroke, G1/2 port, and output force, fitting existing fixtures perfectly.
It uses a G1/2 port. Force output is 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 of 1251 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI125AX425S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
