This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI100BX20S, 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 SI100BX20S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 20mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI100BX20S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI100BX20S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 100 mm bore and 20 mm stroke. It delivers 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a G1/2 port. The direct replacement is the SAI100BX20S, matching the interface, force, and mounting.
The SAI upgrade features two Y-shaped one-way piston seals for low start-up pressure and long life. This variant has a SUS304 stainless rod (-B) and a magnet (-S) for CS1-B/DS1-B sensors.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI100BX20S 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 SAI100BX20S 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).
Ideal for high-force short-stroke clamping of heavy steel plates in machining fixtures, utilizing the 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa.
Provides robust actuation to divert heavy pallets or large packaged goods on assembly lines, benefiting from the 100 mm bore capacity.
Functions as a heavy-duty stopper gate on roller conveyors, where the 20 mm stroke rapidly blocks or releases large loads.
To replace the SI100BX20S, order the SAI100BX20S. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, G1/2 port, M20x1.5 rod thread, SUS304 rod, and the -S magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. For sizing, the 100 mm bore yields 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa; a neighbouring 80 mm bore provides 2513 N. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates. For load holding, use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI100BX20S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI100BX20S. It is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, maintaining the same 100 mm bore, 20 mm stroke, force, G1/2 port, and mounting accessories.
This double-acting cylinder uses a G1/2 port. The thrust is 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 SAI100BX20S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
