This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI100BX300SH, 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 SI100BX300SH is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 300mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI100BX300SH, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI100BX300SH is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 100mm bore and 300mm stroke. Featuring a SUS304 stainless piston rod and Viton H high-temperature seals (0 to 150 C), it delivers 3927 N push and 3681 N pull at 0.5 MPa through a G1/2 port. The direct replacement is the SAI100BX300SH, retaining identical mounting, force, and stroke specifications.
The SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for lower start-up pressure and extended life. The SAI family also adds SAIL, SAIF, and BSAI lock variants absent in the legacy line. Your -S magnet works with CS1-B/DS1-B switches, while the SAI uses current AirTAC sensors.

The SAI100BX300SH 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 heavy stamping or forming stations requiring 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, using the 300mm stroke to clear bulky tooling.
Actuates large-scale pallet stops or routing gates on high-throughput lines, benefiting from the SUS304 rod in washdown zones.
To replace the SI100BX300SH, order the SAI100BX300SH. It is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, matching the 100mm bore, 300mm stroke, G1/2 port, and M20x1.5 rod thread. Confirm your mounting accessory (LB, FA, TC, etc.) and the -S magnet. Sizing both ways: a neighbouring 80mm bore yields 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 125mm bore yields 6136 N. Note that at 300mm stroke, you should use an external guide to prevent rod-bending and side-load wear. A plain cylinder does not hold load without live air; the cushion only decelerates. For load holding on air loss, use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI100BX300SH is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI100BX300SH. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, matching the 100mm bore, 300mm stroke, force, G1/2 port, and mounting fixtures.
The G1/2 port feeds a 25mm rod delivering 3927 N push and 3681 N pull at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa push is 5497 N, reaching 7068 N at 0.9 MPa. The theoretical maximum is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI100BX300SH replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
