This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI160AX125, 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 SI160 Standard Cylinder SI160AX125 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 125mm stroke, G3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI160AX125, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI160AX125 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 160mm bore and 125mm stroke. It delivers 10053N push force at 0.5MPa via a G3/4 port. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAI160AX125, a direct sharing the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, force, and port size.
The SAI upgrade features a modernized piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. This specific SKU uses a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (-A) for corrosion resistance, but lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept position switches. For load holding, note that the air cushion only decelerates; use a pilot check valve or SAIL lock variant.

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 high thrust, using the 10053N push force at 0.5MPa to form thick metal components reliably.
Secures large injection molding halves, relying on the SUS420J2 stainless rod to resist environmental corrosion in humid production cells.
To replace the SI160AX125, order the SAI160AX125. Verify your ISO 15552 mounting fixtures, the G3/4 air port, and the M36x2 rod thread. Because this SKU lacks a magnet (-S), it cannot support legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors; choose a magnet-equipped SAI if position feedback is needed. Sizing context: the 160mm bore yields 10053N push at 0.5MPa, whereas a 200mm bore offers 15708N, and a 125mm bore provides 6136N. If your application requires the rod to hold a load without live air, select the SAIL or BSAI lock variant, or install an external pilot check valve, as standard cushions only decelerate.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the AirTAC SI160AX125 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI160AX125. It shares the identical ISO 15552 mounting interface, 160mm bore, 125mm stroke, output force, and G3/4 port, fitting existing fixtures perfectly.
This double-acting cylinder uses a G3/4 air port. It delivers 10053N push and 9425N pull at 0.5MPa, 14074N push at 0.7MPa, and 18095N push at 0.9MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 2050kgf at 1.0MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI160AX125 replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
