This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI125X400S, 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 SI125X400S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 400mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI125X400S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI125X400S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 125 mm bore and 400 mm stroke. Delivering 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa, it features a G1/2 port, M27x2 rod thread, and a built-in piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. AirTAC replaced this EOL unit with the SAI125X400S.
The SAI125X400S is a direct replacement matching the ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, force, and port. It upgrades the piston seal to two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. The SAI family also adds SAIL and BSAI lock variants the SI lacked.

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 125 mm bore actuators for high-tonnage pressing and forming tasks requiring up to 11045 N of thrust at 0.9 MPa.
Shifts heavy loaded pallets over 400 mm strokes, benefiting from external guides to prevent rod bending under mass.
Positions industrial molds and heavy tooling, using the G1/2 port and 32 mm rod to manage substantial inertial loads.
To replace the SI125X400S, order the SAI125X400S. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting accessory (LB, FA, TC, etc.), the G1/2 port, and the magnet (-S). The SAI accepts current AirTAC switches where the SI used CS1-B/DS1-B. Sizing both ways: a 100 mm bore yields 3927 N [email protected], while a 160 mm bore yields 10053 N. At 400 mm stroke, prevent rod bending by using an external guide to absorb side loads. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates. For load holding, specify the SAIL or BSAI lock variant, or an external pilot check valve.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI125X400S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI125X400S. It matches the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 125 mm bore, 400 mm stroke, output force, and G1/2 port, fitting existing fixtures directly.
It has a G1/2 port. 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 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 SAI125X400S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
