This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI125X50S, 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 SI125X50S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 50mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI125X50S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI125X50S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 125mm bore, 50mm stroke, and a G1/2 air port. Delivering 6136N push force at 0.5MPa, it is replaced by the SAI125X50S. This direct successor matches the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, output force, and port size.
The SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. The -S suffix indicates a piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors; the SAI uses current AirTAC switches. For high heat, Viton H seals raise the temperature range to 0-150C.

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).
Secures large steel plates in machining centers using 6136N of clamping force at 0.5MPa, ensuring zero movement during heavy milling operations.
Acts as a robust stopper mechanism on high-capacity conveyor lines, easily absorbing the kinetic impact of fully loaded pallets up to 313kg.
Provides the heavy push force required to eject dense molded components from industrial tooling, utilizing the adjustable 40mm air cushions for smooth stops.
To replace the SI125X50S, order the SAI125X50S. Verify the ISO 15552 mounting interface, G1/2 port (PT/G/NPT thread), M27x2 rod thread, and mounting accessory. The -S magnet enables CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. For sizing both ways: a 100mm bore yields 3927N push at 0.5MPa, while a 160mm bore yields 10053N. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss; the cushion only decelerates. For load holding, use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants. The 32mm rod and 40mm cushions handle the 30-500mm/s speed range.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI125X50S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI125X50S. It shares the identical ISO 15552 mounting interface, 125mm bore, 50mm stroke, G1/2 port, and output force, fitting existing fixtures perfectly.
The 125mm bore features a G1/2 air port and M27x2 rod thread. Force ratings are: 6136N push and 5734N pull at 0.5MPa, 8590N push at 0.7MPa, 11045N push at 0.9MPa, and a theoretical max of 1251kgf at 1.0MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI125X50S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
