This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI125X250SH, 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 SI125X250SH 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 SAI125X250SH, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI125X250SH is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 125mm bore, 250mm stroke, and a high-temperature Viton H seal. Delivering 6136N push force at 0.5MPa, it is replaced by the SAI125X250SH. This direct upgrade shares the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, G1/2 port, and output force. The SAI features an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped elements for low start-up pressure.
With a 32mm rod and M27x2 thread, the original SI accepted CS1-B/DS1-B sensors via its magnet. The Viton H seal extends operating temperature to 0-150C. Note that standard cylinders drift without live air; for load holding, use the SAIL lock or BSAI clamp-lock variant.

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 press tools with 6136N push force at 0.5MPa, utilizing the adjustable 40mm cushions to absorb high kinetic energy at stroke ends.
Secures hot workpieces using the Viton H high-temperature seal rated for 0-150C, maintaining grip in thermally demanding manufacturing zones.
To replace the SI125X250SH, order the SAI125X250SH. It is a direct per ISO 15552 interface dimensions, matching the 125mm bore, 250mm stroke, G1/2 port, and M27x2 rod thread. Retain your existing mounting accessories and CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, though the SAI family uses current AirTAC switches. If you need less force, the 100mm bore offers 3927N push at 0.5MPa; for more power, the 160mm bore yields 10053N. At 250mm stroke, side-load and rod-bending risks are moderate, so guide the load to prevent premature seal wear. Remember that a standard cylinder does not hold load without air; for locking needs, explore the SAIL or BSAI variants.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI125X250SH is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI125X250SH. It shares the identical ISO 15552 mounting interface, 125mm bore, 250mm stroke, output force, G1/2 port, and accessories, fitting directly into existing fixtures.
This 125mm bore cylinder has a G1/2 air port. Force ratings are: 6136N push and 5734N pull at 0.5MPa, 8590N push at 0.7MPa, 11045N push at 0.9MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 1251kgf at 1.0MPa. Operating speed is 30-500mm/s.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI125X250SH replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
