This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement B04-SAID50X450S, 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-SID50X450S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 450mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the B04-SAID50X450S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC B04-SID50X450S is a discontinued double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where the B04- prefix marks it as the construction-machinery dedicated variant of the base SID50X450S, mechanically identical to it. A rod exits both ends on one piston, meaning both faces use the rod-side area and push/pull force is equal both ways (825 N @0.5 MPa). It features a 50mm bore, G1/4 port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and a 450mm stroke. The direct replacement is the SAID50X450S, sharing the same interface, force, and mounting.
The SAID replacement uses an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. The rear rod can carry a sensor cam or drive two tools simultaneously. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. A plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; the air cushion only decelerates near stroke end.

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).
Equal both-ways force drives dual tooling on heavy-equipment arms, utilizing the back rod for a sensor cam while maintaining precise anti-rotation in harsh construction environments.
Double-rod geometry ensures equal push and pull forces for paving machine gates, while the 450mm stroke requires external guides to handle side-load and prevent rod bending.
To replace the discontinued B04-SID50X450S, use the SAID50X450S direct: same 50mm bore, 450mm stroke, G1/4 port, and ISO 15552 mounting interface (Basic, FA, LB, TC). Size both ways by checking neighbour bores while verifying the equal both-ways force meets your needs. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation, a back rod to carry a sensor cam, or to drive two tools. The -S magnet enables position sensing. For the 450mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load damage. For load holding on air loss, use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve, as cushions only decelerate.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the B04-SID50X450S is discontinued. The B04- prefix marks it as the construction-machinery dedicated variant of the SID50X450S. The direct replacement is the SAID50X450S, which shares the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 50mm bore, 450mm stroke, G1/4 port, and equal both-ways force.
Force is equal both ways: 825 N @0.5 MPa, 1154 N @0.7 MPa, and 1484 N @0.9 MPa. The bore is 50mm with a G1/4 air port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and 30mm adjustable cushion at each end. Speed is 30-800 mm/s. The air cushion only decelerates near stroke end and does not hold loads on air loss.
