This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI125X940S, 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 SI125X940S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 940mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI125X940S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI125X940S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 125 mm bore and 940 mm stroke. It delivers 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a G1/2 port. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAI125X940S, a direct upgrade sharing the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, M27x2 rod thread, and 40 mm cushions.
The SAI replacement features an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. The SAI family also adds SAIL, SAIF, and BSAI lock variants the SI lacked. This -S SKU includes a piston magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B sensors.

| 0.5 MPa | 6136 N | 5734 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 8590 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 1251 kgf | |
The SAI125X940S 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 pallets or heavy fixtures over 940 mm transitions where 6136 N push force easily overcomes cart inertia.
Provides the 125 mm bore clamping thrust required to seat large automotive or industrial components over a long stroke.
To replace the SI125X940S, order the SAI125X940S. Confirm your ISO 15552 mounting accessories (LB, FA, TC, etc.), the G1/2 port, and the -S magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches (the SAI uses current AirTAC switches). If you need more force than the 6136 N at 0.5 MPa, step up to the 160 mm bore; if less is needed, the 100 mm bore provides 3927 N. Because the 940 mm stroke invites rod bending, use external guides to prevent side loads. A plain cylinder drifts without air; for load holding on air loss, specify the SAIL or BSAI lock variant, or use an external pilot check valve.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI125X940S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI125X940S. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 125 mm bore, 940 mm stroke, G1/2 port, and mounting interface.
It uses a G1/2 port. 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 max 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 SAI125X940S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
