This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI125BX175, 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 SI125BX175 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 175mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI125BX175, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI125BX175 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 125 mm bore and 175 mm stroke. It delivers 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa via a G1/2 port. The direct replacement is the SAI125BX175, matching the bore, stroke, force, port and ISO 15552 mounting interface exactly. This -B variant uses a SUS304 stainless piston rod for corrosion resistance, and because it lacks the -S suffix it cannot accept a magnetic sensor.
The SAI upgrade features 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 SAI125BX175 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 pressing and stamping fixtures requiring high thrust, utilizing the 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa with robust SUS304 rod corrosion resistance.
Actuates heavy-duty pallet diverters and lifting gates in high-throughput logistics hubs, moving loads safely within the 3682 N working limit.
Secures heavy injection molds and industrial platens, where the 125 mm bore provides the clamping mass needed for stable manufacturing processes.
To replace the SI125BX175, order the SAI125BX175. Verify the ISO 15552 mounting interface, the 125 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, G1/2 port (PT/G/NPT threads), and your mounting accessory. Because this SKU lacks a magnet (-S), it cannot take a sensor; the legacy SI used CS1-B/DS1-B switches, while the SAI uses current AirTAC switches. Sizing both ways: a 100 mm bore gives 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a 160 mm bore gives 10053 N. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates—so for load holding use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants. Stroke is under 300 mm so rod bending is minimal, but always guide the load.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI125BX175 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI125BX175. It shares the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 125 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, output force, G1/2 port, and SUS304 stainless rod, fitting existing fixtures perfectly.
It has a G1/2 port. The force 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 max of 1251 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Speed is 30-500 mm/s.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI125BX175 replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
