This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI100X170, 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 SI100X170 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 170mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI100X170, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI100X170 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 100 mm bore and 170 mm stroke, delivering a push force of 3927 N at 0.5 MPa. It features a Ø25 mm piston rod, M20x1.5 rod thread, and a G1/2 air port. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAI100X170, a direct upgrade retaining the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, output force, and port size to fit existing fixtures seamlessly.
The SAI replacement features an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and extended life. Note this specific SKU lacks a magnet, meaning it cannot accept CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. The SAI family also introduces SAIL, SAIF, and BSAI lock variants absent in the SI line.

| 0.7 MPa | 5498 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 801 kgf | |
The SAI100X170 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 robust pressing and stamping operations requiring substantial thrust, utilising the 5497 N push force available at 0.7 MPa to seat bearings and form components.
Actuates heavy lane dividers and pallet stops on packaging lines, where the 170 mm stroke provides ample travel to redirect high-mass product flows.
To replace the SI100X170, order the SAI100X170, confirming the ISO 15552 interface, 100 mm bore, 170 mm stroke, G1/2 port (PT/G/NPT), and mounting accessory. This non-magnet SKU cannot support position sensing; if switches are needed, select an SAI model with the S suffix for current AirTAC sensors. Sizing both ways: the 100 mm bore yields 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the neighbouring 80 mm bore provides 2513 N. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss since the cushion only decelerates; for load holding, use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI100X170 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the AirTAC SAI100X170. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, matching the 100 mm bore, 170 mm stroke, output force, G1/2 port, and mounting interface for a seamless fixture swap.
The G1/2 port is fixed by the 100 mm bore. At 0.5 MPa it provides 3927 N push and 3681 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa push is 5497 N, and 7068 N at 0.9 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
