This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI125X272, 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 SI125X272 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 272mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI125X272, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI125X272 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 125 mm bore and 272 mm stroke. It delivers 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa via a G1/2 port. The direct replacement is the SAI125X272, matching the interface, force, and mounting.
The SAI upgrade features a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. It also adds SAIL and BSAI lock variants the SI lacked. This non-magnet SKU cannot take a sensor.

The SAI125X272 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 forming dies and heavy metal stamping presses requiring up to 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa.
Secures large fabricated components during machining, utilizing the 32 mm rod and M27x2 thread for rigid clamping.
To replace the SI125X272, order the SAI125X272 and confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 125 mm bore, 272 mm stroke, G1/2 port, and M27x2 rod thread. This 272 mm stroke is nonstandard (standard increments skip to 300 mm), so verify exact end-of-stroke dimensions. For sizing, a 100 mm bore gives 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a 160 mm bore yields 10053 N. Because stroke exceeds 300 mm, use a guide to prevent rod bending and side-load wear. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss; for load holding use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant. This no-S model cannot accept CS1-B/DS1-B sensors.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI125X272 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI125X272. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 125 mm bore, 272 mm stroke, G1/2 port, and mounting accessories.
It features a G1/2 port and M27x2 rod thread. Force output is 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. Speed is 30-500 mm/s.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI125X272 replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
