This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI100AX290S, 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 SI100 Standard Cylinder SI100AX290S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 290mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI100AX290S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI100AX290S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 100mm bore, 290mm non-standard stroke, and SUS420J2 stainless steel rod. Delivering 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa via a G1/2 port, its direct replacement is the current-production SAI100AX290S. This upgrade retains the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, and output force for existing fixtures.
The SAI successor features an upgraded piston seal using two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and extended life. The -S magnet supports legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, while the SAI family introduces lock and valve variants like the SAIL and BSAI that the SI line lacked.

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 heavy pressing assemblies requiring 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, utilizing the robust 100mm bore and stable ISO 15552 profile barrel.
Operates in humid or mildly corrosive environments using the SUS420J2 stainless piston rod, ensuring reliable actuation without surface degradation.
To replace the SI100AX290S, order the SAI100AX290S. Verify the ISO 15552 mounting interface, the 100mm bore, the 290mm non-standard stroke, the G1/2 port (PT/G/NPT), and the SUS420J2 stainless rod (-A). The -S magnet allows CS1-B/DS1-B switches. Sizing both ways: a neighbouring 80mm bore yields 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas a 125mm bore yields 6136 N. Because the 290mm stroke exceeds 300mm proximity, ensure adequate guiding to prevent rod bending under side loads. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss; the cushion only decelerates. For load holding, use an external pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the AirTAC SI100AX290S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI100AX290S. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, matching the 100mm bore, 290mm stroke, G1/2 port, and mounting fixtures exactly.
The G1/2 port is fixed by the 100mm bore. 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 theoretical maximum of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI100AX290S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
