This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI100BX115, 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 SI100BX115 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 115mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI100BX115, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI100BX115 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 100 mm bore and 115 mm stroke. It features a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod (the -B option) for corrosion resistance, a G1/2 air port, and delivers 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAI100BX115, a direct upgrade retaining the exact same ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, and output force.
The SAI replacement introduces an upgraded piston seal utilizing two Y-shaped one-way elements for extended life and lower start-up pressure. This SKU lacks a magnet and cannot accept a sensor switch. For load holding, note that standard air cushions only decelerate the piston; an external pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant is required to hold a load.

The SAI100BX115 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 large platens and stamping dies requiring high thrust, using the 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa to form thick metal components reliably.
Secures heavy timber beams during cutting and routing operations, utilizing the adjustable air cushions to decelerate the large moving mass smoothly.
To replace the discontinued SI100BX115, order the SAI100BX115. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, the 115 mm stroke, and the G1/2 port match your existing fixture. Because this is a no-magnet SKU, it cannot support position sensing; if switches are needed, an -S suffix SAI model with current AirTAC sensors is required. Sizing both ways: this 100 mm bore yields 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the neighboring 80 mm bore provides 2513 N. For applications needing integrated load holding on air loss, specify the SAIL air-released lock or BSAI clamp-lock variant, as standard cushions only decelerate. The SUS304 rod option (-B) is retained for corrosive environments.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the AirTAC SI100BX115 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI100BX115. It shares the identical ISO 15552 mounting interface, 100 mm bore, 115 mm stroke, output force, G1/2 port, and SUS304 stainless rod, fitting directly into existing machinery.
This double-acting cylinder has a G1/2 air port. The thrust 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 force of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
