This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI125BX90, 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 SI125BX90 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 90mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI125BX90, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI125BX90 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 125 mm bore and 90 mm stroke. Built with an extruded aluminium barrel and a SUS304 stainless piston rod, it delivers 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a G1/2 port. The direct replacement is the SAI125BX90, which matches the original ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke and output force exactly.
The SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and extended life. Because this SKU lacks a magnet (-S), it cannot accept position sensors; legacy SI sensors were CS1-B/DS1-B. Note that a plain cylinder drifts without live air—use the SAIL or BSAI lock variants for load holding.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI125BX90 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 SAI125BX90 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 heavy tooling in automated stamping lines, using the 6136 N push force to form thick gauge materials reliably.
Secures heavy injection molding halves, utilizing the SUS304 stainless rod for corrosion resistance in humid environments.
To replace the discontinued SI125BX90, order the SAI125BX90. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, the 125 mm bore, 90 mm stroke, G1/2 port, and your specific mounting accessory (LB, FA, TC, etc.). The -B rod material denotes SUS304 stainless steel for corrosion resistance. Since this non-magnetic SKU cannot accept a switch, order an -S variant if sensing is required. For sizing both ways: if downsizing to a 100 mm bore, expect 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa; if upsizing to 160 mm, expect 10053 N. Remember that a standard cylinder does not hold load on air loss—use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant for secure holding.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI125BX90 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI125BX90. It shares the exact same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 125 mm bore, 90 mm stroke, output force, G1/2 port, and SUS304 stainless rod, fitting existing fixtures perfectly.
This 125 mm bore cylinder features a G1/2 air port and M27x2 rod thread. Theoretical forces 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; with a maximum force 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 SAI125BX90 replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
