This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI125X165, 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 SI125X165 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 165mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI125X165, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI125X165 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 125 mm bore and 165 mm stroke, delivering 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa. The direct replacement is the SAI125X165, which preserves the exact G1/2 port, M27x2 rod thread, and 40 mm adjustable air cushions.
The SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. Note this non-magnet SKU cannot take a sensor; legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches require the -S version.

The SAI125X165 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 robust clamping arms in automated press lines, utilizing the 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa to secure heavy steel blanks before stamping.
Actuates high-mass diverter gates on conveyor systems, relying on the 40 mm adjustable air cushions to smoothly decelerate the 32 mm rod at stroke ends.
Pushes large injection molds or cast components out of fixtures, where the 125 mm bore provides the necessary raw force to overcome initial static friction.
To replace the SI125X165, order the SAI125X165 and confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 125 mm bore, 165 mm stroke, G1/2 port (PT/G/NPT), and mounting accessory. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept position sensors; order the -S variant if you need CS1-B/DS1-B switches. Sizing both ways: dropping to an 80 mm bore yields 2513 N push @0.5 MPa, while stepping up to 160 mm provides 10053 N. The air cushion only decelerates the load; it does not hold position. For dead-load holding on air loss, use an external pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants. With a 165 mm stroke, side-load and rod-bending forces are minimal, but always guide the load to prevent misalignment.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the AirTAC SI125X165 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI125X165. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, matching the 125 mm bore, 165 mm stroke, output force, G1/2 port, and mounting interface.
The 125 mm bore features a G1/2 air port. At 0.5 MPa it provides 6136 N push and 5734 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa push is 8590 N, and at 0.9 MPa it is 11045 N. The theoretical maximum force is 1251 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
