This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAID125X185S, 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 Airtac SID Series Double-Rod Cylinder SID125X185S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 185mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAID125X185S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SID125X185S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where a rod exits both ends on one piston, meaning both faces use the rod-side area and push/pull force is equal at 5734 N @0.5 MPa, 8028 N @0.7 MPa, and 10321 N @0.9 MPa. It features a 125 mm bore, a G1/2 air port, an M27x2 rod thread, and 40 mm adjustable air cushions. This SID model is discontinued; the direct replacement is the SAID125X185S, sharing the same ISO 15552 interface, bore, stroke, and mounting.
The SAID upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life, plus SAIL and BSAI lock variants absent from the SI line. The double-rod design prevents rotation and lets the rear rod carry a sensor cam. The -S suffix provides a piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. Note that air cushions only decelerate; an external rod lock is required to hold loads on air loss.

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 two opposing machining heads simultaneously with equal force both ways, maintaining precise alignment via the rigid double-rod architecture.
Actuates a heavy transfer gate on a packaging line where the second rod prevents rotation and ensures smooth linear motion without torsional deflection.
Lifts work carriers vertically using both rod ends, leveraging the 292 kg vertical lift capacity to balance loads evenly across the stroke.
To replace the discontinued SID125X185S, install the direct replacement SAID125X185S, which matches the ISO 15552 mounting interface, G1/2 port, and 185 mm stroke exactly. Size both ways by confirming the equal push/pull force of 5734 N @0.5 MPa; if less force is acceptable, step down to the 100 mm bore (3681 N), or step up to 160 mm (9425 N) for higher demands. A double-rod cylinder is the right choice when you need anti-rotation stability or must drive two tools simultaneously. Reuse FA, LB, or TC mounts, and specify the -S magnet if sensors are needed. For strokes of 300 mm or longer, verify side-load limits to prevent guide wear.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SID125X185S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAID125X185S, which shares the same ISO 15552 interface, 125 mm bore, 185 mm stroke, G1/2 port, and mounting hardware.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways at 5734 N @0.5 MPa, 8028 N @0.7 MPa, and 10321 N @0.9 MPa. Operating speed is 30-500 mm/s. It uses a G1/2 port and 40 mm adjustable cushions.
