This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI100BX950S, 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 SI100BX950S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 950mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI100BX950S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI100BX950S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 950 mm stroke, SUS304 stainless rod, and a built-in magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. It delivers 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa via a G1/2 port. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAI100BX950S, a direct sharing the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, and output force.
The SAI upgrade features a modernized piston seal using two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and extended life. Note that plain cylinders drift without live air; use an external rod lock or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants for hold.

| 0.7 MPa | 5498 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 801 kgf | |
The SAI100BX950S 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 sorting gates or diverters over 950 mm travel, utilizing the 3927 N push force to move heavy product lanes reliably.
SUS304 rod option suits food-grade or washdown environments where corrosion resistance and precise 950 mm actuation are required.
To replace the SI100BX950S, order the SAI100BX950S and verify the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 100 mm bore, 950 mm stroke, G1/2 port, and the -S magnet for current AirTAC switches. If downsizing, an 80 mm bore yields 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa; if upsizing, a 125 mm bore provides 6136 N. Because this is a 950 mm stroke, external guides are recommended to prevent rod bending and side-load damage. The standard cylinder does not hold load on air loss; for secure holding, specify the SAIL or BSAI lock variant, or add a pilot check valve.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI100BX950S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI100BX950S. It shares the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 100 mm bore, 950 mm stroke, force, and G1/2 port, fitting existing fixtures perfectly.
It features a G1/2 port and M20x1.5 rod thread. Force output 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, with a theoretical max of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating speed is 30-800 mm/s.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI100BX950S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
