This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI125X170S, 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 SI125X170S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 170mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI125X170S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI125X170S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 125 mm bore and 170 mm stroke. It delivers 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa via a G1/2 port. The direct replacement is the SAI125X170S, matching the exact bore, stroke, force, port and ISO 15552 mounting interface for seamless fixture integration.
The SAI upgrade features a new piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. The original SI line lacked lock variants, but the SAI family adds SAIL and BSAI clamp options. The -S suffix means a piston magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B sensors; the SAI uses current switches.

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 platens and heavy dies requiring high thrust, using the 125 mm bore to deliver robust actuation under demanding industrial loads.
Indexes loaded pallets along conveyor lines, utilizing the 170 mm stroke to push heavy goods smoothly into staging areas.
Secures large fabricated components during machining or welding operations, providing reliable holding force throughout the cycle.
To replace the SI125X170S, order the SAI125X170S. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface (LB, FA, TC, etc.), the 170 mm stroke, G1/2 port, and the -S magnet requirement. Sizing checks: the 125 mm bore yields 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa; dropping to an 80 mm bore gives 2513 N, while a 160 mm bore provides 10053 N. For strokes over 300 mm, guide side-loads to prevent rod bending. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss; the cushion only decelerates. For load holding, use an external pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the AirTAC SI125X170S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI125X170S. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 125 mm bore, 170 mm stroke, output force, G1/2 port and mounting accessories.
This double-acting cylinder features a G1/2 port. At 0.5 MPa it provides 6136 N push and 5734 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.
