This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI125X120SN, 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 SI125X120SN is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 120mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI125X120SN, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI125X120SN is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 125 mm bore and 120 mm stroke. It delivers 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa via a G1/2 port. The direct replacement is the SAI125X120SN, matching the interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The SAI upgrade features two Y-shaped one-way piston seals for low start-up pressure and long life. It also adds SAIL, SAIF and BSAI variants the SI lacked. The NBR seals handle -20 to +70 C, while Viton H extends this to 150 C.

The SAI125X120SN 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 heavy-duty stamping dies requiring substantial thrust, utilizing the 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa to form thick metal components reliably.
Secures large fabricated steel frames for welding operations, providing the high clamping pressure needed to prevent workpiece shifting during manufacturing.
To replace the SI125X120SN, order the SAI125X120SN. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 120 mm stroke, G1/2 port (PT/G/NPT thread), M27x2 rod thread and the -S magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B switches (the SAI uses current AirTAC switches). If you need more force than the 6136 N at 0.5 MPa, step up to a 160 mm bore; if less is required, a 100 mm bore provides 3927 N. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss as the 40 mm cushion only decelerates, so use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant for held loads. Rod material options include carbon steel, SUS420J2 or SUS304.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI125X120SN is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI125X120SN. It is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, retaining the same 125 mm bore, 120 mm stroke, force, G1/2 port and mounting accessories, so it drops directly into existing fixtures.
The 125 mm bore cylinder operates at 0.15-1.0 MPa (proof 1.5 MPa) with a speed of 30-500 mm/s. Force output is 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. It features a 32 mm rod, M27x2 thread, and 40 mm adjustable cushions.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI125X120SN replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
