This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI100X165S, 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 SI100X165S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 165mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI100X165S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI100X165S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 100mm bore and 165mm stroke. Delivering 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa, it is replaced by the SAI100X165S. This direct successor shares the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, G1/2 port, and M20x1.5 rod thread.
The SAI upgrade features a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. The -S magnet works with legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, while the SAI family adds SAIL, SAIF, and BSAI lock variants.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI100X165S 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 SAI100X165S produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

| -S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing. |
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).
Applies the 5497 N push force at 0.7 MPa to seat bearings and assemble heavy mechanical components securely.
Actuates large diverter arms on high-capacity packaging lines, utilizing the 36mm adjustable cushion for smooth stops.
To replace this SI100X165S, order the SAI100X165S. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting accessory (LB, FA, TC, etc.), the G1/2 port, and the -S magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B switches. For sizing both ways: a 100mm bore yields 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa, while an 80mm bore gives 2513 N. For load holding, note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates. Use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant. At 165mm stroke, side-load is minimal, but always guide the rod to prevent bending.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI100X165S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI100X165S. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, matching the 100mm bore, 165mm stroke, G1/2 port, and mounting interface.
The G1/2 port bore delivers 3927 N push and 3681 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 5497 N push at 0.7 MPa, 7068 N at 0.9 MPa, and a theoretical max of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Speed is 30-800 mm/s.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI100X165S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
