This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI125X250SCA, 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 SI125X250SCA 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 SAI125X250SCA, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI125X250SCA is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 125 mm bore and 250 mm stroke. It delivers 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa via a G1/2 port. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAI125X250SCA, a direct sharing the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, CA clevis mount, stroke and output force.
The SAI upgrade features a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. The SAI family also adds SAIL, SAIF and BSAI lock variants the SI lacked. Your -S magnet works with legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, while the SAI uses current switches.

| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 1251 kgf | |
The SAI125X250SCA 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).
Secures large metal castings in machining centers, utilizing the 6136 N push force to hold components rigidly against cutting loads.
Actuates heavy loading dock gates where the 313 kg vertical lift capacity and CA clevis mount handle substantial off-center payloads smoothly.
Drives large-scale package diverters on high-throughput sorting lines, moving heavy goods with a 250 mm stroke at 30-500 mm/s.
To replace the SI125X250SCA, order the SAI125X250SCA. Confirm the ISO 15552 interface, 125 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, G1/2 port, CA clevis mount and -S magnet. The direct fits existing fixtures perfectly. If sizing up or down, neighbouring bores are 100 mm and 160 mm; at 0.5 MPa the 100 mm yields 3927 N push, while the 160 mm yields 10053 N. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss as the cushion only decelerates; for load holding use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants. Rod material options include carbon steel, SUS420J2 (A) or SUS304 (B).
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI125X250SCA is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI125X250SCA. It shares the identical ISO 15552 mounting interface, 125 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, G1/2 port and CA clevis mount, fitting existing fixtures directly.
This double-acting cylinder uses a G1/2 port. It generates 6136 N push and 5734 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 8590 N push at 0.7 MPa, 11045 N at 0.9 MPa, and a theoretical max of 1251 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating speed is 30-500 mm/s.
