This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI125AX450, 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 SI125AX450 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 450mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI125AX450, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI125AX450 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 125 mm bore and 450 mm stroke. Delivering 6136 N push and 5734 N pull at 0.5 MPa, it features a G1/2 port, M27x2 rod thread, and 40 mm adjustable air cushions. The direct replacement is the SAI125AX450, matching the interface, force, and port. Because this SKU lacks the -S suffix, it has no magnet and cannot accept a sensor. The A suffix denotes a SUS420J2 stainless steel piston rod for corrosion resistance.
The SAI125AX450 upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. The SAI family also adds SAIL and BSAI lock variants absent in the SI line.

The SAI125AX450 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 large platens in metal forming with 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa, relying on the 40 mm cushions to absorb end-of-stroke impact.
Lifts heavy loads vertically; the SUS420J2 stainless rod resists humidity in damp dispatch zones while moving goods 450 mm.
Secures large injection molds using the ISO 15552 mounting interface, providing rigid 125 mm bore actuation.
To replace the SI125AX450, order the SAI125AX450. It drops into existing fixtures via the ISO 15552 mounting interface, matching the 125 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, G1/2 port, and mounting accessories. Confirm your thread choice (PT, G, or NPT). Since this is a no-S SKU, it cannot take a CS1-B/DS1-B sensor; if sensing is needed, switch to an SAI125X450S. The A suffix specifies the SUS420J2 stainless rod; default is carbon steel. For sizing, neighbouring bores are 100 mm (3927 N push @0.5) and 160 mm (10053 N push @0.5). Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss; for load holding, use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant. With a 450 mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending and side loads.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI125AX450 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI125AX450, which shares the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 125 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, G1/2 port, and force ratings.
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 6136 N and pulls 5734 N. Push is 8590 N at 0.7 MPa and 11045 N at 0.9 MPa. The theoretical max is 1251 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating speed is 30-500 mm/s. It uses a G1/2 port.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI125AX450 replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
