This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement B04-SAID63X900, 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-SID63X900 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 900mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the B04-SAID63X900, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The B04-SID63X900 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where the B04- prefix marks it as AirTAC's construction-machinery dedicated variant of the base SID63X900. Because a rod exits both ends on one piston, both faces use the rod-side area, yielding equal force both ways (1402 N @0.5 MPa). The bore is 63 mm, the port is G3/8, and the rod thread is M16x1.5. This SID model is discontinued and is replaced by the direct replacement SAID63X900, which reuses the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface.
The SAID replacement features an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. This SKU lacks the -S magnet and cannot take a magnetic switch. For the 900 mm stroke, external guides are recommended to prevent rod bending under side loads.

The B04-SAID63X900 produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

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 where equal push and pull force is required for balanced linkage movement.
Synchronizes material flow on construction site conveyors using the back rod for a cam while the front rod pushes.
Actuates heavy sliding gates on loaders, relying on the double-rod geometry to prevent rotation during extension.
To replace the discontinued B04-SID63X900, specify the direct replacement SAID63X900, which matches the 63 mm bore, 900 mm stroke, G3/8 port, and ISO 15552 mounting (Basic, FA, LB, TC). Size both ways by verifying the equal force requirement (1402 N @0.5 MPa) and checking neighbouring bores (50 mm or 80 mm) if margins allow. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation or must drive two tools. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot use sensors. For the 900 mm stroke, add external guides to manage side-load and rod-bending risks. Note that air cushions only decelerate; use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant for load holding.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the B04-SID63X900 (construction-machinery dedicated SID63X900) is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAID63X900, which shares the same ISO 15552 interface, 63 mm bore, 900 mm stroke, G3/8 port, and mounting.
Force is equal both ways: 1402 N @0.5 MPa, 1962 N @0.7 MPa, and 2523 N @0.9 MPa. The port is G3/8, the rod thread is M16x1.5, and speed is 30-800 mm/s. The cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; use an external rod lock for held loads.
