This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI125X125SH, 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 SI125X125SH is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 125mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI125X125SH, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI125X125SH is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 125 mm bore and 125 mm stroke. It delivers 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a G1/2 port. The direct replacement is the SAI125X125SH, matching the interface, bore, stroke, force, port, and mounting. The SAI upgrades the piston seal to two Y-shaped one-way elements for lower start-up pressure and longer life. The -H suffix indicates a Viton FKM seal, extending operating temperature to 0-150 C. The -S magnet works with legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches.
The SAI family adds variants the SI lacked, including SAIL air-released lock, SAIF integrated valve, and BSAI clamp-lock options.

The SAI125X125SH produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

| -S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing. |
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 press dies and heavy stamping fixtures requiring 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa.
Secures workpieces in automated machining cells, benefiting from the Viton H seal for high-thermal environments.
To replace the discontinued SI125X125SH, order the SAI125X125SH. Verify the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 125 mm stroke, G1/2 port, and your mounting accessory. The -S magnet enables current AirTAC switches, replacing the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. The -H Viton seal supports 0-150 C. If sizing up or down, compare neighboring bores and the 0.5 MPa force ratings. A plain cylinder does not hold load without live air; the cushion only decelerates. For load holding on air loss, use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI125X125SH is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI125X125SH. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 mounting-interface dimensions, offering the same 125 mm bore, 125 mm stroke, force, G1/2 port, and mounting fixtures.
This double-acting cylinder features a G1/2 port. It delivers 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 max of 1251 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI125X125SH replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
