This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement B04-SAID50X600, 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-SID50X600 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 600mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the B04-SAID50X600, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC B04-SID50X600 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where the B04- prefix designates it as a construction-machinery dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SID50X600. A piston rod exits both ends, meaning push and pull force is equal both ways at 825 N @0.5 MPa, 1154 N @0.7 MPa, and 1484 N @0.9 MPa. It features a 50 mm bore, G1/4 air port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and 30 mm adjustable cushions at each end. This SID model is discontinued and the direct replacement is the SAID50X600, which retains the same interface, force, and mounting.
The double-rod design prevents rod rotation and allows the back rod to drive a second tool or sensor cam. The SAI replacement upgrades the piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for lower start-up pressure and longer life. 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).
Equal both ways force drives and retracts a heavy cab panel stamping on earthmoving equipment without the rotational drift common to single-rod units.
The double-rod design provides anti-rotation stability for aligning heavy machinery booms, while the back rod simultaneously pilots a secondary hydraulic valve.
Uses the 600 mm stroke to shift counterweights on mobile cranes, relying on external guides to manage side-load given the extended stroke length.
To replace the discontinued B04-SID50X600, specify the SAID50X600 direct: it matches the 50 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and ISO 15552 mounting footprint (Basic, FA, LB, TC) exactly. Size both ways by checking neighbor bores (40 mm or 63 mm) if you need to adjust the equal both ways force, remembering the 50 mm yields 825 N @0.5 MPa. Choose a double-rod cylinder when you need anti-rotation stability or dual-end actuation. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot support sensing; add an -S suffix if you need CS1-B/DS1-B switch accuracy. For the 600 mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load damage. Never rely on the air cushion for load holding on air loss; use a pilot-operated check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the B04-SID50X600 construction-machinery dedicated cylinder is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAID50X600, which shares the identical ISO 15552 interface, 50 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and equal both ways force. The B04- prefix only marks the construction application and changes no physical specs.
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 bore is 50 mm with a G1/4 air port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and 30 mm adjustable cushions.
