This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement B04-SAID63X400, 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-SID63X400 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 400mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the B04-SAID63X400, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The B04-SID63X400 is an AirTAC double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where the B04- prefix marks it as the construction-machinery dedicated variant of the base SID63X400. Mechanically identical to the standard model, it features a rod exiting both ends on one piston so both faces use the rod-side area, making push and pull force equal at 1402 N @0.5 MPa, 1962 N @0.7 MPa, and 2523 N @0.9 MPa. The bore is 63 mm, the port is G3/8, and the rod thread is M16x1.5. This SID model is discontinued and end-of-life; the direct replacement is the SAID63X400, sharing the same ISO 15552 interface, bore, stroke, force, port and mounting.
Because the second rod drives a sensor cam or a second tool while resisting rotation, a double-rod design adds mechanical stability. The SAI replacement upgrades the piston seal to two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. This non-magnetic SKU cannot take a switch. Note that air cushions only decelerate; for load holding on air loss, use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant.

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 with equal push and pull force, utilizing the G3/8 port and ISO 15552 mounting for rigid construction-machinery frames.
Regulates material flow in quarrying attachments where the 1402 N @0.5 MPa equal-both-ways force and anti-rotation properties of the twin rods maintain precise gating.
Operates dual opposing hopper doors on road paving machinery, using the 63 mm bore and 400 mm stroke to balance loads without twisting the assembly.
To replace the discontinued B04-SID63X400, specify the direct replacement SAID63X400, which reuses the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface (Basic, FA, LB, TC) and G3/8 port. Size both ways by confirming the 1402 N @0.5 MPa equal force is sufficient, or step up to the 80 mm bore (2268 N) if more thrust is needed. A double-rod cylinder is right when you need anti-rotation stability or must drive two tools from one piston. This SKU lacks the -S magnet and cannot take a sensor. At 400 mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss; cushions only decelerate.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the B04-SID63X400 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAID63X400. The B04- prefix simply marks it as the construction-machinery dedicated variant of the SID63X400, so the SAID63X400 matches its 63 mm bore, 400 mm stroke, G3/8 port, and ISO 15552 mounting exactly.
As a double-acting double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways: 1402 N @0.5 MPa, 1962 N @0.7 MPa, and 2523 N @0.9 MPa. The air port is G3/8.
