This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI100X250, 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 SI100X250 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 250mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI100X250, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI100X250 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 100mm bore and 250mm stroke. It delivers 3927N push and 3681N pull at 0.5MPa, operating via a G1/2 port with a 25mm rod. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAI100X250 direct replacement, retaining the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, force, and dimensions.
The SAI upgrade features a new piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. Note this specific SKU lacks a magnet (-S), so it cannot accept CS1-B/DS1-B sensors.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI100X250 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 SAI100X250 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).
Applies 5497N of thrust at 0.7MPa for seating bearings and assembling heavy mechanical components.
Drives robust routing gates or stops on high-mass material handling lines with a 200kg safe lift margin.
Raises and lowers loaded staging platforms, relying on external check valves to hold loads safely.
To replace the SI100X250, order the SAI100X250. Verify your ISO 15552 mounting accessory (LB, FA, TC, etc.), the G1/2 port, and the 250mm stroke. Sizing both ways: a neighboring 80mm bore yields 2513N push at 0.5MPa, while a 125mm bore yields 6136N. This 100mm unit provides 5497N at 0.7MPa. Because the stroke is 250mm, ensure guide alignment to prevent rod bending. This non-magnet SKU cannot take switches; order an SAI100X250S if sensing is needed. For load holding on air loss, use an external pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants, as cushions only decelerate.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI100X250 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI100X250, which matches the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 100mm bore, 250mm stroke, 3927N force, and G1/2 port.
It uses a G1/2 port. Force output is 3927N push and 3681N pull at 0.5MPa, 5497N push at 0.7MPa, 7068N at 0.9MPa, and a theoretical max of 801kgf at 1.0MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI100X250 replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
