This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI100X425S, 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 SI100X425S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 425mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI100X425S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI100X425S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring an extruded aluminum barrel and a built-in magnet. In this 100mm bore class it delivers 3927N push and 3681N pull at 0.5MPa, operating through a G1/2 port with a 25mm rod. AirTAC replaced the SI family with the SAI100X425S, a direct upgrade retaining the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, 425mm stroke, force class and accessories.
The SAI successor introduces an upgraded piston seal utilizing two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and extended service life. Beyond the standard replacement, the SAI line adds SAIL air-released lock, SAIF integrated 4M valve and BSAI clamp-lock variants absent from the legacy SI range. For position sensing, this -S model accommodates legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches, while the SAI accepts current AirTAC sensors.

| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 801 kgf | |
The SAI100X425S 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 castings during machining operations, utilizing the 3927N push force at 0.5MPa to hold components rigidly against cutting forces.
Actuates heavy-duty diverter arms on high-throughput packaging lines, moving loaded pallets reliably with a 425mm stroke and 200kg vertical lift capability.
Drives large access doors and safety gates on automated storage systems, requiring the robust 100mm bore and G1/2 air supply for rapid 30-800mm/s cycling.
To replace the SI100X425S, order the SAI100X425S and verify your ISO 15552 mounting accessory (LB, FA, CA, TC), the G1/2 port thread (PT, G or NPT) and the piston magnet. If downsizing is possible, an 80mm bore yields 2513N push at 0.5MPa; if more force is needed, a 125mm bore provides 6136N. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss since the air cushion only decelerates near stroke end, so use an external rod lock, pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant for held loads. With a 425mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load wear.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the AirTAC SI100X425S is discontinued and end-of-life. The direct replacement is the SAI100X425S. It features the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 100mm bore, 425mm stroke, output force and G1/2 port, dropping directly into existing fixtures.
This double-acting cylinder uses a G1/2 port and delivers 3927N push and 3681N pull at 0.5MPa, 5497N push at 0.7MPa, and 7068N push at 0.9MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 801kgf at 1.0MPa.
