This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI100BX120S, 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 SI100BX120S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 120mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI100BX120S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI100BX120S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 100mm bore and 120mm stroke. It delivers 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa via a G1/2 port. The direct replacement is the SAI100BX120S, matching the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, stroke, force and accessories. This -B variant uses a SUS304 stainless piston rod for corrosion resistance, and the -S magnet supports CS1-B/DS1-B sensors.
The SAI upgrade features a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. The SAI family also adds SAIL, SAIF and BSAI lock variants the SI lacked. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss; cushions only decelerate.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI100BX120S 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 SAI100BX120S produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

| ×120 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing. |
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 forming and stamping tasks, utilizing the 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa to seat heavy components reliably.
Actuates heavy flow gates on processing lines, with the SUS304 stainless rod resisting washdown corrosion.
To replace the SI100BX120S, order the SAI100BX120S. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, the 100mm bore, 120mm stroke, G1/2 port (PT/G/NPT), and mounting accessory. The -S magnet enables current AirTAC switches (replacing legacy CS1-B/DS1-B), and the -B rod is SUS304 stainless. Sizing both ways: this bore yields 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa; if less force is needed, an 80mm bore gives 2513 N. For load holding on air loss, cushions only decelerate, so use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI100BX120S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI100BX120S. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 100mm bore, 120mm stroke, force, G1/2 port and mounting fixtures.
This 100mm bore cylinder uses a G1/2 air port. It delivers 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 SAI100BX120S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
