This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI125BX70S, 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 SI125BX70S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 70mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI125BX70S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI125BX70S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 125 mm bore, 70 mm stroke, and a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod. It delivers 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAI125BX70S, a direct replacement retaining the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, G1/2 port, and output force. The SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for lower start-up pressure and longer life.
This specific B-variant rod resists corrosion, and the built-in magnet supports legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. Note that a plain cylinder drifts without live air; for load holding, explore the SAIL or BSAI lock variants.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI125BX70S carries the same ISO 15552 ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 6136 N | 5734 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 8590 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 1251 kgf | |
The SAI125BX70S 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).
Applies the 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa to secure heavy steel plates during machining or welding operations.
The SUS304 stainless rod excels in food or chemical washdown environments where standard carbon steel rods fail.
To replace the SI125BX70S, order the SAI125BX70S. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting accessory (LB, FA, TC, etc.), the G1/2 port thread (PT/G/NPT), and the -S magnet for current AirTAC switches. Sizing both ways: a neighbouring 100 mm bore yields 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a 160 mm bore yields 10053 N. If your application needs positive load holding on air loss, a plain cylinder cannot lock—the cushion only decelerates. Specify an external pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the AirTAC SI125BX70S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI125BX70S. It shares the identical ISO 15552 mounting interface, 125 mm bore, 70 mm stroke, and G1/2 port, fitting existing fixtures perfectly.
The 125 mm bore uses a G1/2 port. At 0.5 MPa it provides 6136 N push and 5734 pull force. At 0.7 MPa push is 8590 N, and 11045 N at 0.9 MPa. The theoretical maximum is 1251 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI125BX70S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
