This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI100BX450S, 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 SI100BX450S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 450mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI100BX450S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI100BX450S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 100 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, SUS304 stainless steel rod, and a built-in magnet. Delivering 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a G1/2 port, its direct successor is the SAI100BX450S. The SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life, while keeping the ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, and force identical.
The SAI family also adds variants the SI line lacked, such as the SAIL air-released lock, SAIF integrated 4M valve, and BSAI clamp-lock. This -S SKU supports legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, while the SAI replacement uses current AirTAC switches.

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 robust pressing and stamping operations requiring up to 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, utilizing the SUS304 stainless rod for corrosion resistance.
Powers large-scale material handling gates and heavy payload transfers where the G1/2 port and ISO 15552 profile ensure high flow and rigid mounting.
To replace the discontinued SI100BX450S, order the SAI100BX450S, confirming the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 100 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, G1/2 port, and mounting accessory. The -B rod is SUS304 stainless steel, and the -S magnet works with CS1-B/DS1-B switches. When sizing both ways, a neighbouring 80 mm bore yields 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas a 125 mm bore provides 6136 N. Because this is a 450 mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod-bending and side-load damage. 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 AirTAC SI100BX450S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI100BX450S. It features the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 100 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, G1/2 port, and force output, but includes an upgraded two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for lower start-up pressure and longer life.
This double-acting cylinder has a G1/2 port and delivers a push force of 3927 N and a pull force of 3681 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa the push force is 5497 N, and at 0.9 MPa it is 7068 N. The theoretical maximum force is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
