This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI125BX125S, 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 SI125BX125S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 125mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI125BX125S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI125BX125S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod and a built-in magnet. Generating 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa, it is replaced by the SAI125BX125S direct cylinder. This successor shares the exact G1/2 port, 125 mm bore, and 125 mm stroke, dropping straight into existing fixtures.
The SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. The SAI family also adds SAIL, SAIF, and BSAI lock variants the SI lacked. Your -S magnet works with legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, while the SAI uses current AirTAC switches.

| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 1251 kgf | |
The SAI125BX125S 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 heavy-duty stamping dies requiring high thrust, utilizing the 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa to form thick metal components reliably.
Secures large fabricated steel frames for welding, using the robust 32 mm SUS304 rod to resist side loads and environmental corrosion.
To replace the SI125BX125S, order the SAI125BX125S. It matches the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 125 mm stroke, G1/2 port, and M27x2 rod thread. Confirm your mounting accessory (like TC trunnion or LB foot) and keep the -S magnet for position sensing. The SUS304 rod provides corrosion resistance over the standard carbon steel option. If you need more force, the 160 mm bore offers 10053 N at 0.5 MPa; if less is required, the 100 mm bore provides 3927 N. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss since the 40 mm cushion only decelerates, so use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for load holding. The SAIL or BSAI lock variants are ideal if you need integrated holding.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI125BX125S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI125BX125S. It shares the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 125 mm bore, 125 mm stroke, G1/2 port, and output force, fitting existing fixtures perfectly.
The 125 mm bore delivers 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. Operating speed is 30-500 mm/s.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI125BX125S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
