This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement B04-SAID50X1000, 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 B04-SID Construction Machinery Special ISO Standard Cylinder B04-SID50X1000 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 1000mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the B04-SAID50X1000, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC B04-SID50X1000 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where the B04- prefix marks it as the construction-machinery dedicated variant of the base SID50X1000, mechanically identical to it. Because a rod exits both ends on one piston, both faces use the rod-side area, making push and pull force equal at 825 N @0.5 MPa, 1154 N @0.7 MPa, and 1484 N @0.9 MPa. The bore is 50 mm, port is G1/4, rod thread is M16x1.5, and speed is 30-800 mm/s.
This SID model is discontinued and end-of-life; the direct replacement is the SAID50X1000, retaining the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, and equal-both-ways force. The SAI replacement uses an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. This non-magnetic SKU cannot take a switch, and the 1000 mm stroke requires external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads.

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 dual-tool mechanisms on heavy-equipment linkages where equal push and pull force is required on both extension and retraction strokes.
Synchronizes opposing movements on construction-machinery booms, using the back rod to carry a cam or drive a secondary mechanism simultaneously.
Actuates clamping fixtures on mobile cranes, benefiting from the anti-rotation properties of the double-rod design during heavy lifts.
To replace the discontinued B04-SID50X1000, specify the SAID50X1000, which is a direct upgrade keeping the G1/4 port, M16x1.5 thread, and ISO 15552 dimensions. Size both ways by confirming the 825 N @0.5 MPa equal force fits your load; if more force is needed, step up to the 63 mm bore, or drop to the 40 mm bore if less is required. A double-rod cylinder is right when you need equal push/pull force, anti-rotation stability, or a back rod to drive two tools. Mounting options include Basic, FA, LB, and TC. Because this lacks the -S magnet, it cannot use magnetic switches. For the 1000 mm stroke, external guides are mandatory to manage side-load and rod-bending risks.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the B04-SID50X1000 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAID50X1000. The B04- prefix simply marks it as the construction-machinery dedicated variant of the SID50X1000, and the SAID replacement matches its ISO 15552 interface, bore, stroke, and force exactly.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways: 825 N @0.5 MPa, 1154 N @0.7 MPa, and 1484 N @0.9 MPa. The air port is G1/4. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; the cushion only decelerates near stroke end, so use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant for held loads.
