This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAID125X600, 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 SID125X600 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 600mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAID125X600, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SID125X600 is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where a rod exits both ends on one piston, making push and pull force equal at 5734 N @0.5 MPa, 8028 N @0.7 MPa, and 10321 N @0.9 MPa. It features a 125 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, 32 mm rod, M27x2 thread, and a fixed G1/2 port. The direct replacement is the SAID125X600, which reuses the same mounting interface and adds an upgraded two-piece Y-shaped piston seal for lower start-up pressure and longer life.
Because this SKU lacks the -S suffix, it has no magnet and cannot accept a magnetic switch. The dual-rod design prevents rotation and lets the back rod carry a sensor cam or drive a second tool. Note that air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end; they do not hold loads on air loss, so use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant for holding.

The SAID125X600 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 two opposing machining heads simultaneously using both extending rods, ensuring perfectly synchronized cutting cycles without requiring a separate cylinder.
Actuates a heavy transfer gate on a 125 mm bore where single-rod torsional sway is unacceptable, using the dual-rod geometry to maintain strict alignment.
Uses the rear rod extension to mechanically trigger external limit valves at precise intervals, bypassing the lack of internal magnetic switches on this SKU.
To replace the discontinued SID125X600, install the SAID125X600 directly; it matches the 125 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, G1/2 port, and ISO 15552 mounting dimensions without bracket changes. When sizing both ways, verify your load against the equal 5734 N @0.5 MPa force, or step to a neighbouring bore if more margin is needed. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation stability or a back rod to drive a second mechanism. Choose Basic, FA, LB, or TC mounts. Since this is a non-magnet model, sensing requires external methods. For the 600 mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SID125X600 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAID125X600, which shares the same ISO 15552 interface, 125 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, G1/2 port, and equal both-ways force, but adds an upgraded piston seal.
Force is equal both ways: 5734 N @0.5 MPa, 8028 N @0.7 MPa, and 10321 N @0.9 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa. Speed is 30-500 mm/s. It uses a G1/2 port and 40 mm adjustable cushions at each end.
