This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI125X250CB, 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 SI125X250CB is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 250mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI125X250CB, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI125X250CB is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 125 mm bore and 250 mm stroke. It delivers 6136 N push and 5734 N pull force at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a G1/2 port and M27x2 rod thread. Because this SI series is end-of-life, you should order the direct replacement: the SAI125X250CB. It maintains the identical ISO 15552 mounting interface, CB clevis mount, output force, and port size, fitting seamlessly into existing fixtures.
The SAI upgrade introduces an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and extended life. Note this specific SKU lacks a magnet (-S), meaning it cannot accept position sensors. The SAI family also adds variants the SI lacked, such as the SAIL air-released lock and BSAI clamp-lock for load holding.

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 and forming dies requiring up to 8590 N of push force at 0.7 MPa, utilizing the robust 32 mm piston rod.
Secures large fabricated components during machining via the CB clevis mount, accommodating the 30-500 mm/s operating speed.
To replace the discontinued SI125X250CB, order the SAI125X250CB, confirming the ISO 15552 interface, 125 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, G1/2 port, and CB clevis mounting accessory. When sizing, note the 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa; if you need more power, the neighbouring 160 mm bore offers 10053 N. If less force is acceptable, the 100 mm bore provides 3927 N. Because this is a plain cylinder without a magnet, it cannot take CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. A standard cylinder does not hold load on air loss—the cushion only decelerates—so for load holding, consider the SAIL or BSAI lock variants, or an external pilot check valve. For this 250 mm stroke, ensure proper guide alignment to prevent rod bending and side-load wear.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the AirTAC SI125X250CB is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI125X250CB. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 125 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, G1/2 port, CB mount, and force ratings.
This double-acting cylinder uses 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 theoretical maximum of 1251 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
