This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI100X100CA, 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 SI100X100CA is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 100mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI100X100CA, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI100X100CA is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 100mm bore and 100mm stroke, delivering 3927N push force at 0.5MPa via a G1/2 port. AirTAC replaced it with the SAI100X100CA direct replacement, which shares the exact CA clevis mounting, M20x1.5 rod thread, and 36mm cushions.
The SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life, while the SAI family adds SAIL, SAIF, and BSAI lock variants the SI lacked. This SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take a CS1-B/DS1-B sensor.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI100X100CA carries the same ISO 15552 ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.

| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 801 kgf | |
The SAI100X100CA 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).
Secures large steel plates in machining fixtures, utilising the 3927N push force at 0.5MPa to hold parts rigidly against cutting vibration.
Actuates heavy loading dock gates, where the 100mm bore provides the high torque necessary to pivot counterweighted assemblies smoothly.
Drives robust sorting arms on high-throughput packaging lines, easily handling the impact of redirecting heavy cartons at speed.
To replace the SI100X100CA, order the SAI100X100CA and confirm the ISO 15552 CA clevis interface, 100mm stroke, G1/2 port (PT/G/NPT), and M20x1.5 rod. This non-magnet SKU cannot support sensing; add an -S suffix on the SAI if you need CS1-B/DS1-B switches. For sizing, the 100mm bore yields 3927N push at 0.5MPa; a neighbouring 80mm bore gives 2513N, while a 125mm bore provides 6136N. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates—so use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant for held loads. The 100mm stroke is short, but for any stroke >=300mm add external guides to prevent rod bending from side loads.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI100X100CA is discontinued. The direct replacement is the AirTAC SAI100X100CA. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 100mm bore, 100mm stroke, CA clevis mount, G1/2 port, and 3927N output force.
The G1/2 port bore delivers a push of 3927N and a pull of 3681N at 0.5MPa, 5497N push at 0.7MPa, 7068N push at 0.9MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 801kgf at 1.0MPa. Operating speed is 30-800mm/s.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI100X100CA replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
