This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement B04-SAID50X50, 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-SID50X50 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 50mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the B04-SAID50X50, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC B04-SID50X50 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where the B04- prefix marks it as the construction-machinery dedicated variant of the base SID50X50, mechanically identical in every spec. 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. This model is discontinued and the direct replacement is the SAID50X50, sharing the same 50mm bore, 50mm stroke, G1/4 port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and 30mm adjustable cushion.
The SAI replacement upgrades the piston seal to two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. The double-rod design provides anti-rotation stability and allows the back rod to drive a second tool. Note this non-magnetic SKU cannot take a sensor switch, and air cushions only decelerate; use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant for load holding.

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 secondary heavy-equipment mechanisms where equal push and pull force is mandatory for balanced hydraulic-like motion in construction machinery.
Uses the dual-rod anti-rotation property to push and pull heavy construction components between stations without torsional deflection.
The protruding rear rod simultaneously operates a secondary clamping or ejecting tool on heavy-equipment assembly jigs, saving space.
To replace the discontinued B04-SID50X50, specify the SAID50X50, which is a direct swap retaining the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 50mm bore, 50mm stroke, and G1/4 port. Size both ways by verifying the equal push/pull force of 825 N @0.5 MPa meets your requirement, or step to neighbour bores (40mm or 63mm) if more or less force is needed. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation resistance or want the rear rod to carry a sensor cam or second tool. Reuse FA, LB, or TC mounts directly. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. For this 50mm stroke, side-load is minimal, but for any stroke >=300mm, ensure guide alignment to prevent binding.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the B04-SID50X50 (construction-machinery dedicated variant of SID50X50) is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAID50X50, which matches the 50mm bore, 50mm stroke, G1/4 port, and ISO 15552 mounting interface.
As 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, the rod thread is M16x1.5, and it operates at 30-800 mm/s with a 30mm adjustable cushion at each end.
