This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI125BX275S, 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 SI125BX275S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 275mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI125BX275S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI125BX275S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod and a built-in magnet. Delivering 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a G1/2 port, its direct replacement is the SAI125BX275S. This current-production SAI model maintains the same 125 mm bore, 275 mm stroke, and mounting interface, dropping directly into existing fixtures.
The SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and extended life. Note that plain cylinders drift without live air; for load holding, explore the SAIL or BSAI lock variants the SI line lacked.

The SAI125BX275S 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 6136 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa for seating large bearings and heavy industrial assemblies requiring a robust 125 mm bore.
Shifts heavy loaded pallets on conveyors where the SUS304 stainless rod resists moisture and harsh factory environments.
Provides reliable 275 mm stroke actuation for large metal or composite forming stations, easily swapping to the SAI125BX275S.
To replace the discontinued SI125BX275S, order the SAI125BX275S. Verify your ISO 15552 mounting interface (LB, FA, TC, etc.), the G1/2 air port, and the M27x2 rod thread. The -S magnet supports legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, while the SAI uses current AirTAC switches. The -B rod specifies SUS304 stainless steel for corrosion resistance. For load sizing, the 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa safely handles 3682 N; if you need more force, the 160 mm bore offers 10053 N. Remember, air cushions only decelerate; they do not hold loads. Use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for secure holding. At 275 mm stroke, ensure guide alignment to prevent rod bending.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI125BX275S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI125BX275S. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 125 mm bore, 275 mm stroke, 6136 N force, G1/2 port, and mounting fixtures.
The 125 mm bore generates 6136 N push and 5734 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 8590 N push at 0.7 MPa, 11045 N at 0.9 MPa, and a theoretical max of 1251 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating speed is 30-500 mm/s. It uses a G1/2 port and M27x2 rod thread.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI125BX275S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
