This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI125BX290S, 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 SI125BX290S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 290mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI125BX290S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI125BX290S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 125mm bore and 290mm stroke. It delivers 6136N push force at 0.5MPa via a G1/2 port. The direct replacement is the SAI125BX290S, matching the interface, force, and mounting exactly.
The SAI upgrade features a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life.

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 and heavy tooling where the 6136N push force at 0.5MPa is required for forming operations.
Secures large fabricated components during machining, relying on the 40mm adjustable air cushions for smooth end-of-stroke deceleration.
To replace the SI125BX290S, order the SAI125BX290S. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, the 125mm bore, 290mm stroke, G1/2 port, and your specific mounting accessory. The SAI is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 and drops into existing fixtures. If sizing up or down, neighboring bores are 100mm (3927N push @0.5MPa) and 160mm (10053N push @0.5MPa). Because this is a 290mm stroke, ensure adequate guiding to prevent rod-bending side loads. A plain cylinder does not hold load without live air; the cushion only decelerates. For load holding, use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants. The SAIF self-valve variant is unavailable for 125mm bores.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI125BX290S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI125BX290S. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 125mm bore, 290mm stroke, G1/2 port, and mounting interface. You simply order the SAI equivalent.
This 125mm bore cylinder uses a G1/2 air port. It generates 6136N push and 5734N pull at 0.5MPa, 8590N push at 0.7MPa, 11045N push at 0.9MPa, and a theoretical maximum 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 SAI125BX290S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
