This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI125X500SFTC, 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 SI125X500SFTC is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 500mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI125X500SFTC, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI125X500SFTC is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 125 mm bore and 500 mm stroke. It delivers 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a G1/2 port and M27x2 rod thread. The direct replacement is the SAI125X500SFTC, which matches the original FTC trunnion mounting, bore, stroke, and output force.
The SAI upgrade introduces a refined piston seal featuring two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and extended life. The original SI uses a TPU seal rated for -20 to +70 C, though Viton H options raise this to 150 C, and its integrated magnet supports CS1-B/DS1-B sensors.

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).
Ideal for driving large stamping dies requiring 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, with FTC trunnion mounting handling pivot stresses.
Actuates heavy-duty diverter arms on high-capacity lines, relying on the 40 mm adjustable air cushions to decelerate the 125 mm bore smoothly.
To replace the SI125X500SFTC, order the SAI125X500SFTC. Verify that the ISO 15552 mounting interface matches your FTC trunnion accessory, and confirm the G1/2 port, M27x2 rod thread, 500 mm stroke, and the -S magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B legacy sensors (the SAI uses current AirTAC switches). If sizing alternatives, neighboring bores or the 8590 N push force at 0.7 MPa can be evaluated. Because this is a 500 mm stroke, external guides are recommended to prevent rod bending and side-load damage. A plain cylinder drifts without live air; for load holding, use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI125X500SFTC is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI125X500SFTC. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, matching the bore, stroke, force, G1/2 port, and FTC trunnion mounting.
It has a G1/2 port. The force ratings are: 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. Operating speed is 30-500 mm/s.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI125X500SFTC replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
