This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI125BX100N, 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 SI125BX100N is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 100mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI125BX100N, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI125BX100N is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 125mm bore and 100mm stroke. Built with an extruded aluminum barrel, it delivers 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa. This specific SKU includes a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod (-B) for corrosion resistance and NBR seals (-N) for a -20 to +70 C operating range. It lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept position sensors. The direct replacement is the SAI125BX100N, maintaining the exact same ISO 15552 mounting interface, G1/2 port, and output force.
The SAI upgrade introduces an advanced piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements, ensuring low start-up pressure and extended service life. The SAI family also expands functionality with SAIL air-released lock, BSAI clamp-lock, and SAIF built-in valve variants that the legacy SI line lacked.

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 stamping and forming operations requiring up to 11045 N of thrust at 0.9 MPa, utilizing the robust 32mm piston rod.
Actuates heavy pallet lifts and stops in high-throughput logistics, safely moving loads near the 313 kg vertical lift threshold.
Ideal for washdown or chemical processing zones thanks to the SUS304 stainless steel rod, preventing rust on the actuator core.
To replace the discontinued SI125BX100N, order the SAI125BX100N. Verify your existing fixture's ISO 15552 mounting interface dimensions, the 100mm stroke, and the G1/2 air port. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet suffix, it cannot support legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors; if position detection is needed, upgrade to an SAI model with the magnet option and current AirTAC switches. When sizing, note that a neighboring 100mm bore provides 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a 160mm bore yields 10053 N. Keep in mind a standard cylinder does not hold load without live air—the cushion only decelerates. For load holding on air loss, use an external rod lock, a pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants. The 32mm rod and M27x2 thread must match your mechanical linkage.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI125BX100N is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI125BX100N. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, matching the 125mm bore, 100mm stroke, G1/2 port, and mounting accessories. The SAI features an upgraded piston seal for longer life.
The G1/2 port is fixed by the 125mm bore. 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 max of 1251 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates at 30-500 mm/s.
