This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI125X450SH, 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 SI125X450SH is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 450mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI125X450SH, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI125X450SH is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 125 mm bore and 450 mm stroke. It delivers 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa and features a high-temperature Viton H seal rated for 0 to 150 C. The direct replacement is the SAI125X450SH, matching the bore, stroke, G1/2 port and ISO 15552 mounting interface.
The SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. The original SI magnet works with CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, while the SAI uses current AirTAC switches.

| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 1251 kgf | |
The SAI125X450SH 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 heavy-duty stamping dies requiring 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa with robust 125 mm bore stability.
Performs plastic forming in heated zones using the Viton H seal to withstand continuous 0 to 150 C environments.
To replace the SI125X450SH, order the SAI125X450SH ensuring the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 450 mm stroke, G1/2 port and Viton H high-temp seal match your fixture. Sizing both ways: the neighbouring 100 mm bore yields 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 160 mm bore yields 10053 N. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss as the 40 mm cushion only decelerates; use an external rod lock, pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant for held loads. At 450 mm stroke, prevent rod bending by using an external guide to manage side loads.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI125X450SH is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI125X450SH, which shares the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 450 mm stroke, 125 mm bore and G1/2 port.
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.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI125X450SH replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
