This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI125X265S, 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 SI125X265S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 265mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI125X265S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI125X265S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 125 mm bore and 265 mm stroke. It delivers 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa via a G1/2 port. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAI125X265S, a direct upgrade sharing the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, output force, and port size.
The SAI successor features an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and extended life. The SI line lacked integrated lock variants, but the SAI family adds SAIL and BSAI clamp-lock options. This -S model includes a piston magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B switches.

The SAI125X265S 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 stamping dies requiring 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa, utilizing the 265 mm stroke to form thick metal components.
Actuates large clamping mechanisms in automotive fixtures, relying on the G1/2 port and 125 mm bore for high-volume air flow and thrust.
To replace the SI125X265S, order the SAI125X265S. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 125 mm bore, 265 mm stroke, G1/2 port (PT/G/NPT thread), and your mounting accessory. This -S SKU has a magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B switches; the SAI uses current AirTAC switches. For sizing, a 100 mm bore offers 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa, while an 80 mm bore provides 2513 N; stepping up to 160 mm yields 10053 N. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss as the cushion only decelerates, so use the SAIL or BSAI lock variant, an external rod lock, or a pilot check valve to hold loads. The 32 mm rod and M27x2 thread handle high thrust. At 265 mm stroke, verify guide alignment to prevent rod bending and side-load wear. Operating speed is 30-500 mm/s.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI125X265S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the AirTAC SAI125X265S. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 125 mm bore, 265 mm stroke, 6136 N force, G1/2 port, and mounting interface.
The 125 mm bore features a G1/2 air port and M27x2 rod thread. 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 max of 1251 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
