This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI125BX55, 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 Airtac SI125 Standard Cylinder SI125BX55 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 55mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI125BX55, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI125BX55 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 125 mm bore and 55 mm stroke. It delivers 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa via a G1/2 port. The direct replacement is the SAI125BX55, matching the interface, force, and stroke. This specific SKU uses a SUS304 stainless steel rod (-B) for corrosion resistance, but lacks a magnet (-S), meaning it cannot accept position sensors.
The SAI125BX55 upgrade features a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. For load holding, note that standard cylinders drift without live air; the cushion only decelerates. Use an external pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants.

| 0.7 MPa | 8590 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 1251 kgf | |
The SAI125BX55 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).
Generates 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa to secure large metal castings during machining operations.
The SUS304 stainless rod resists moisture in logistics hubs while halting heavy 313 kg vertical loads.
Short 55 mm stroke provides rapid, high-force ejection of industrial rubber molds without live air drift.
To replace the SI125BX55, order the SAI125BX55. Verify the ISO 15552 mounting interface, the 55 mm stroke, the G1/2 port, and your mounting accessories. Because this SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot support legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors; if sensing is needed, order an SAI with the S suffix. This -B variant provides a SUS304 stainless rod instead of carbon steel. For sizing, a 100 mm bore offers 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a 160 mm bore yields 10053 N. Operating speed is 30-500 mm/s. For any load holding, add an external rod lock, as the air cushion only decelerates and does not brake.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI125BX55 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the AirTAC SAI125BX55. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 125 mm bore, 55 mm stroke, G1/2 port, and mounting interface.
It features 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 maximum of 1251 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI125BX55 replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
