This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI125X225N, 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 SI125X225N is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 225mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI125X225N, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI125X225N is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 125 mm bore and 225 mm stroke. It delivers 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa via a G1/2 port. The direct replacement is the SAI125X225N, which shares the exact same interface, force, and mounting. This NBR-sealed (-N) unit operates from -20 to +70 C and lacks a magnet, meaning it cannot accept magnetic switches.
The SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and longevity. If high heat is expected, a Viton H seal raises the ceiling to 150 C.

The SAI125X225N 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 platens and heavy dies requiring 6136 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa, utilizing the adjustable 40 mm cushion to halt massive inertia smoothly.
Secures bulky components during machining, relying on the 125 mm bore's 1251 kgf maximum theoretical force for rigid, deflection-free holding.
To replace this SI125X225N, order the SAI125X225N, verifying the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 225 mm stroke, G1/2 port, and NBR seal. Because this specific SKU lacks a magnet (-S), it cannot support position sensing; if you require switches, select an SAI125X225NS and use current AirTAC sensors instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B. If sizing up or down, adjacent bores offer different footprints: the 100 mm bore yields 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 160 mm bore yields 10053 N. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates—so for load holding, specify the SAIL or BSAI lock variant, or use an external pilot check valve. At 225 mm stroke, side-load risks are low, but always ensure rigid guidance to prevent rod bending.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI125X225N is discontinued. The direct replacement is the AirTAC SAI125X225N. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 125 mm bore, 225 mm stroke, G1/2 port, and mounting fixtures.
This cylinder features a G1/2 air port. It generates 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 maximum theoretical force of 1251 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI125X225N replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
