This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI100AX20S, 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 SI100 Standard Cylinder SI100AX20S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 20mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI100AX20S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI100AX20S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 100mm bore and 20mm stroke. It delivers 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a G1/2 port. The direct replacement is the SAI100AX20S, matching the interface, force, and mounting.
The SAI upgrade features a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. It also adds SAIL, SAIF, and BSAI variants the SI lacked. The -A rod is SUS420J2 stainless steel, and the -S magnet works with legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI100AX20S carries the same ISO 15552 ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3927 N | 3682 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 5498 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 801 kgf | |
The SAI100AX20S 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).
Secures heavy steel fabrication workpieces with 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa before welding operations.
Executes compact 20mm stamping and seating tasks for large bearings using a theoretical max of 801 kgf.
Pushes dense palletized goods off a main conveyor line, safely handling a 200 kg vertical lift margin.
To replace the SI100AX20S, order the SAI100AX20S. Verify the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 100mm bore, 20mm stroke, G1/2 port, and -S magnet. The -A code specifies the SUS420J2 stainless rod. If you need more force, the 125mm bore offers 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa; for less, the 80mm bore provides 2513 N. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss as the cushion only decelerates. For load holding, use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI100AX20S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI100AX20S. It matches the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 100mm bore, 20mm stroke, force, and G1/2 port.
It has a 25mm rod, M20x1.5 thread, 36mm cushion, and G1/2 port. Force ratings are 3927 N push and 3681 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 5497 N push at 0.7 MPa, 7068 N push at 0.9 MPa, and a max of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI100AX20S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
