This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI100X170S, 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 SI100X170S 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 SAI100X170S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI100X170S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 100mm bore and 170mm stroke, delivering 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa via a G1/2 port. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAI100X170S, a direct alternative retaining the exact interface, M20x1.5 rod thread, and 36mm cushions.
The SAI upgrade features a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. The SAI family also introduces SAIL, SAIF, and BSAI lock variants absent in the SI line. Your -S suffix indicates a piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors.

The SAI100X170S 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 metal workpieces in machining centers, using the 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa to hold parts rigidly against cutting loads.
Applies consistent downward pressure for bearing insertion or component seating, benefiting from the 36mm adjustable end cushions to prevent impact.
To replace the SI100X170S, order the SAI100X170S and confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 100mm bore, 170mm stroke, G1/2 port (PT/G/NPT), and mounting accessory. The -S magnet enables CS1-B/DS1-B switches, though the SAI uses current AirTAC sensors. Sizing both ways: the 80mm bore yields 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 125mm bore yields 6136 N. A plain cylinder drifts without live air, as cushions only decelerate; for load holding, specify the SAIL or BSAI lock variant, or use an external rod lock. At 170mm stroke, rod bending is minimal, but for any stroke over 300mm, add a guide to prevent side-load wear. Rod material options include carbon steel, SUS420J2 (A), or SUS304 (B).
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI100X170S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI100X170S. It shares the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 100mm bore, 170mm stroke, output force, G1/2 port, and accessories, fitting directly into existing fixtures.
This double-acting cylinder features a G1/2 air port and an M20x1.5 rod thread. It delivers 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, and a theoretical maximum force of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI100X170S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
