This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI100X550H, 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 SI100X550H is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 550mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI100X550H, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI100X550H is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 100mm bore and 550mm stroke. Built for high-temperature duty, it features a Viton H seal (0 to 150 C) and delivers a push force of 3927 N at 0.5 MPa. Because this SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot accept a position sensor. The direct replacement is the SAI100X550H, matching the G1/2 port, M20x1.5 thread, and 36mm cushions.
The SAI upgrade introduces a two-piece Y-shaped piston seal for lower start-up pressure and longer life. It also adds SAIL and BSAI lock variants absent from the SI line. Since this is a plain cylinder, the cushion only decelerates; it will not hold a load on air loss.

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 heavy doors or platens in hot environments up to 150 C using the Viton H seal, delivering 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa.
Pushes loaded pallets along assembly lines, utilizing the 36mm adjustable air cushions to decelerate the 100mm bore at stroke ends.
To replace the SI100X550H, order the SAI100X550H to guarantee the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, 100mm bore, 550mm stroke, G1/2 port, and Viton H high-temp seals. If you need less force, step down to an 80mm bore; for more power, move to 125mm. Because this non-magnet SKU cannot take a CS1-B or DS1-B sensor, confirm if you need a switch. For load holding on air loss, the cushion will not lock the piston—select the SAIL or BSAI lock variant, or use an external pilot check valve. Finally, with a 550mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load wear.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI100X550H is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI100X550H. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, matching the 100mm bore, 550mm stroke, G1/2 port, and mounting interface. The SAI features an upgraded piston seal for longer life.
The 100mm bore features a G1/2 port and a 25mm rod. Force output is 3927 N push and 3681 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 5497 N push at 0.7 MPa, and 7068 N push at 0.9 MPa. The theoretical maximum is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Speed is 30-800 mm/s.
