This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI100AX55S, 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 SI100AX55S 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 SAI100AX55S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI100AX55S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 100mm bore and 55mm stroke. It delivers 3927N push force at 0.5MPa through a G1/2 port. The direct replacement is the SAI100AX55S, matching the bore, stroke, force, port, and ISO 15552 mounting interface.
The SAI upgrade features an improved piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements 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 sensors.

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 large metal workpieces in machining fixtures, utilizing the 3927N push force at 0.5MPa to hold firm against cutting loads.
Acts as a robust stop gate for heavy loaded pallets on conveyor lines, absorbing kinetic energy with its adjustable 36mm air cushion.
Controls the descent of 200kg payloads in vertical lift stations, relying on the SUS420J2 stainless rod for durability in demanding environments.
To replace this SI100AX55S, order the SAI100AX55S. Verify the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 55mm stroke, G1/2 port, and the -S magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B switches. The SUS420J2 stainless rod (-A) suits corrosive environments. If sizing up or down, a 125mm bore offers 6136N push at 0.5MPa, while an 80mm bore provides 2513N. For load holding on air loss, note that a plain cylinder drifts; the cushion only decelerates. Use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant. Since the stroke is under 300mm, severe side-load risks are minimal, but standard guide considerations apply.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI100AX55S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI100AX55S. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, matching the 100mm bore, 55mm stroke, output force, G1/2 port, and mounting interface.
This 100mm bore cylinder features a G1/2 port and delivers a push force of 3927N and pull of 3681N at 0.5MPa. At 0.7MPa push is 5497N, and 7068N at 0.9MPa. The theoretical max force is 801kgf at 1.0MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI100AX55S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
