This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement B04-SAID63X450, 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-SID63X450 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 450mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the B04-SAID63X450, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC B04-SID63X450 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where a rod exits both ends on one piston, ensuring push and pull force are equal at 1402 N @0.5 MPa, 1962 N @0.7 MPa, and 2523 N @0.9 MPa. The B04- prefix marks this as AirTAC's construction-machinery dedicated variant of the base SID63X450, mechanically identical to the standard model with a 63mm bore, 450mm stroke, and G3/8 air port. This SKU has no -S magnet and cannot accept a sensor.
This discontinued model is fully replaced by the direct replacement SAID63X450, which shares the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, and equal-both-ways force. The SAI upgrade uses an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. A plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; the cushion only decelerates, so use an external rod lock for held 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 synchronized dual-tool mechanisms on heavy equipment, using the equal both-ways force to push and pull linkage components with consistent torque.
Applies equal push and pull force to clear blockages in construction material processing, relying on the rigid double-rod output to prevent mechanical binding.
Balances parallel attachment arms on loaders, using the through-rod geometry to maintain alignment and resist rotational twist during heavy dirt loading.
To replace the discontinued B04-SID63X450, install the direct replacement SAID63X450, reusing the exact FA, LB, or TC ISO 15552 mounts without modification. Size both ways by checking neighbor bores (50mm or 80mm) against your equal push/pull force needs. The double-rod design is right when you need anti-rotation, to drive two tools, or to mount a sensor cam on the back rod. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot take legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. For the 450mm stroke, add external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load damage. Remember, the 30mm adjustable air cushions only decelerate near stroke end; they do not lock, so for load-holding use SAIL/BSAI lock variants or an external pilot-operated check valve.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the B04-SID63X450 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAID63X450. The B04- prefix simply marks it as the construction-machinery dedicated variant of the base SID63X450. The SAID63X450 shares the exact ISO 15552 interface, 63mm bore, 450mm stroke, G3/8 port, and equal both-ways force, while adding an upgraded piston seal.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, the 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.
