This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI125X273, 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 SI125X273 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 273mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI125X273, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI125X273 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 125 mm bore and 273 mm stroke. It delivers 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa. The direct replacement is the SAI125X273, matching the interface, force, G1/2 port and mounting. This 273 mm stroke is nonstandard. As this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept a sensor.
The SAI upgrade features a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure. It also adds SAIL, SAIF and BSAI variants the SI lacked. Note a plain cylinder drifts without air; use SAIL or a check valve to hold loads.

| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 1251 kgf | |
The SAI125X273 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 stamping or forming presses requiring 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa with stable ISO 15552 fixture mounting.
Diverts heavy bulk goods on conveyors, utilizing the 125 mm bore and adjustable 40 mm air cushions to stop smoothly.
To replace the SI125X273, order the SAI125X273. Verify the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 125 mm bore, 273 mm nonstandard stroke, G1/2 port (PT/G/NPT), and accessories. This no-magnet SKU cannot take a sensor; order -S for CS1-B/DS1-B switches. For load holding, the cushion only decelerates; use a SAIL lock, BSAI clamp-lock, or external pilot check valve. Neighbouring bores: 100 mm gives 3927 N [email protected], 160 mm gives 10053 N. For this 273 mm stroke, ensure guide rails to prevent rod bending under side loads.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI125X273 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI125X273. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, keeping the same 125 mm bore, 273 mm stroke, force, G1/2 port and mounting.
It features a G1/2 port, M27x2 rod thread, and 40 mm cushions. 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 max 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 SAI125X273 replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
