This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement B04-SAID63X700, 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-SID63X700 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 700mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the B04-SAID63X700, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC B04-SID63X700 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 SID63X700. A rod exits both ends of the extruded aluminum barrel on a single piston, meaning both faces use the rod-side area and push/pull force is equal both ways (1402 N @0.5 MPa, 1962 N @0.7 MPa, 2523 N @0.9 MPa). It features a Ø20 mm piston rod, M16x1.5 rod-end thread, and a fixed G3/8 air port. This legacy model is discontinued and is fully replaced by the direct replacement SAID63X700, which reuses the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, and porting.
The SAID upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for lower start-up pressure and longer life, while retaining the adjustable 30 mm air cushions at each end. Because this SKU lacks the -S suffix, it has no magnet and cannot accept a magnetic switch. Note that air cushions only decelerate near stroke end; a plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss, so an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required 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 secondary attachments on heavy equipment where the double-rod design provides equal push and pull force for balanced hydraulic-like motion control.
Opens and closes heavy dust gates on construction material crushers, using the back rod end to mechanically push a mechanical counterweight or limit flag.
Pushes a diverter flap from both ends on a gravel sorting line, ensuring the gate returns to center with identical force in both directions to prevent jamming.
To replace the discontinued B04-SID63X700, specify the direct replacement SAID63X700, which matches the 63 mm bore, 700 mm stroke, G3/8 port, and ISO 15552 mounting dimensions (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2) with zero mechanical changes. When sizing, remember the double-rod design provides equal force both ways (1402 N @0.5 MPa), so you can evaluate neighboring bores (like 50 mm or 80 mm) based strictly on this symmetric pull value. A double-rod cylinder is the right choice when you need anti-rotation stability, want to drive two tools simultaneously from one piston, or need to mount a sensor cam on the back rod. Because this unit lacks the -S magnet, no sensors can be fitted. Finally, at a 700 mm stroke, the cylinder is highly susceptible to side-load and rod-bending forces; always use external guide rails to support the load and prevent binding.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the B04-SID63X700 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAID63X700. The B04- prefix simply marks it as the construction-machinery dedicated variant of the base SID63X700. The SAID replacement shares the exact ISO 15552 interface, 63 mm bore, 700 mm stroke, G3/8 port, and equal both-ways force, but adds an upgraded two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for longer life.
Because it is a 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. Operating speed is 30-800 mm/s. It operates at 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa, and uses a Ø20 mm rod with an M16x1.5 thread.
