This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI100X520S, 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 SI100 Standard Cylinder SI100X520S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 520mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI100X520S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI100X520S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 100mm bore and 520mm stroke. It delivers 3927N push force at 0.5MPa through a G1/2 port. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAI100X520S, a direct upgrade retaining the exact interface, M20x1.5 thread, and 36mm cushions.
The SAI replacement features an upgraded piston seal using two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and extended life. The SAI family also introduces SAIL, SAIF, and BSAI lock variants absent in the SI line. Your -S magnet works with legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors.

| 0.5 MPa | 3927 N | 3682 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 5498 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 801 kgf | |
The SAI100X520S 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).
Pushes loaded pallets or heavy workpieces along a production line using the 3927N thrust at 0.5MPa operating pressure.
Ejects molded or stamped parts from heavy machinery, relying on the 36mm adjustable air cushions to decelerate the rod smoothly.
To replace this SI100X520S, order the SAI100X520S. Confirm your ISO 15552 mounting accessory (LB, FA, TC, etc.), the G1/2 port, and the -S magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B switches. Neighbouring bores are 80mm (2513N push @0.5MPa) and 125mm (6136N push @0.5MPa); size both ways to match your 3927N requirement. Because the 520mm stroke exceeds 300mm, use external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load wear. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss; for load holding, use the SAIL or BSAI lock variant, or an external pilot check valve.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI100X520S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI100X520S. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, matching the 100mm bore, 520mm stroke, G1/2 port, and mounting interface.
The bore delivers 3927N push and 3681N pull at 0.5MPa, 5497N push at 0.7MPa, 7068N push at 0.9MPa, and a theoretical max of 801kgf at 1.0MPa. Operating speed is 30-800mm/s.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI100X520S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
