This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI125X550SN, 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 SI125X550SN is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 550mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI125X550SN, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI125X550SN is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 125 mm bore and 550 mm stroke. It delivers 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa via a G1/2 port. The direct replacement is the SAI125X550SN, matching the interface, stroke and force.
The SAI upgrade features two Y-shaped one-way piston seals for low start-up pressure and long life. It also adds SAIL, SAIF and BSAI variants the SI lacked. The NBR seal handles -20 to +70 C; Viton H extends to 150 C.

The SAI125X550SN 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).
Secures large steel plates in a machining center using 6136 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa, with the 550 mm stroke accommodating thick workpieces.
Pushes loaded pallets onto a transfer line; the 313 kg vertical lift capacity handles substantial weights safely.
Raises heavy subassemblies to an overhead conveyor, requiring external guides to manage the side-load risks of the 550 mm stroke.
To replace the SI125X550SN, order the SAI125X550SN. It drops into existing fixtures per ISO 15552 mounting dimensions, keeping the 125 mm bore, 550 mm stroke, G1/2 port and M27x2 rod thread. Confirm your mounting accessory (LB, FA, TC) and the magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B switches. If you need less force, the 100 mm bore gives 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa; if you need more, the 160 mm bore gives 10053 N. At 550 mm stroke, use an external guide to prevent rod bending and side loads. The air cushion only decelerates; for load holding on air loss, use the SAIL lock, BSAI clamp-lock, or an external pilot check valve.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI125X550SN is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI125X550SN. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, offering the same 125 mm bore, 550 mm stroke, output force, G1/2 port and mounting interface.
This double-acting cylinder has a G1/2 port. It delivers 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 SAI125X550SN replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
