This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI100AX55, 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 SI100AX55 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 55mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI100AX55, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI100AX55 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 100mm bore and 55mm stroke, delivering 3927N of push force at 0.5MPa. It features a Ø25mm SUS420J2 stainless piston rod, M20x1.5 thread, and a G1/2 air port. Because this SKU lacks a magnet (-S), it cannot accept position switches.
The direct replacement is the SAI100AX55. It shares the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, output force, and porting, but upgrades to a two-piece Y-shaped piston seal for lower start-up pressure. The SAI family also introduces SAIL, SAIF, and BSAI lock/valve variants absent from the legacy line. For load holding, note the cushion only decelerates; use an external rod lock or pilot check valve.

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-duty bushings and bearings into automotive housings using its 3927N thrust at 0.5MPa, with the SUS420J2 rod resisting coolant corrosion.
Acts as a short-stroke shock absorber in end-of-line packaging stations, decelerating heavy 200kg vertical loads via its 36mm adjustable air cushion.
Secures large steel plates for robotic welding, providing the necessary 3681N pull force to hold workpieces firmly against fixture stops.
To replace the SI100AX55, order the SAI100AX55 and verify your ISO 15552 mounting interface (LB, FA, TC, etc.), G1/2 port thread (PT/G/NPT), and 55mm stroke. This unit has an SUS420J2 stainless rod (-A) and no magnet, meaning it cannot support legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. If sensing is required, specify an SAI100X55S. If undersizing, a 80mm bore yields 2513N push; if oversizing, a 125mm bore yields 6136N. For any load holding on air loss, select the SAIL or BSAI lock variant instead of relying on the cushion.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the AirTAC SI100AX55 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI100AX55. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 100mm bore, 55mm stroke, G1/2 port, and mounting accessories, but adds an upgraded two-piece Y-shaped piston seal.
This double-acting cylinder has a G1/2 air port. At 0.5MPa it provides 3927N push and 3681N pull force. At 0.7MPa push is 5497N, and at 0.9MPa it is 7068N. The theoretical maximum force is 801kgf at 1.0MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI100AX55 replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
