This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI125BX900, 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 SI125BX900 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 900mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI125BX900, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI125BX900 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 125 mm bore, 900 mm stroke, and a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod. Delivering 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa, it is replaced by the direct replacement SAI125BX900. This current-production upgrade shares the exact same G1/2 port, M27x2 thread, and mounting interface, fitting existing fixtures perfectly.
The SAI125BX900 upgrades the piston seal to two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. Note this SKU lacks a magnet and cannot take a sensor. The SAI family also adds SAIL and BSAI lock variants the SI lacked.

| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 1251 kgf | |
The SAI125BX900 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 large vertical platform elevators and heavy pallet lifts requiring the full 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa over an extended 900 mm travel.
Ejects heavy formed parts from large stamping presses, utilising the 40 mm adjustable air cushions to decelerate the 125 mm bore at stroke ends.
Actuates heavy-duty automated storage and retrieval system shuttles where the SUS304 stainless rod resists environmental corrosion.
To replace the SI125BX900, order the SAI125BX900. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 900 mm stroke, G1/2 port, and SUS304 rod. Because this SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot accept a CS1-B/DS1-B sensor. At 0.5 MPa it yields 6136 N push and 5734 N pull; if undersized, the neighbouring 160 mm bore offers 10053 N. For the 900 mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod-bending and side-load damage. The air cushion only decelerates; use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for load holding.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI125BX900 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI125BX900. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 125 mm bore, 900 mm stroke, G1/2 port, and mounting interface.
The G1/2 port bore delivers a push force of 6136 N and a pull force of 5734 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa push is 8590 N, and 11045 N at 0.9 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 1251 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI125BX900 replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
