This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI100X72S, 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 SI100X72S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 72mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI100X72S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI100X72S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 100mm bore and 72mm stroke. It delivers 3927N push force at 0.5MPa through a G1/2 port. The direct replacement is the SAI100X72S, matching the bore, stroke, force, port, and ISO 15552 mounting interface.
The SAI upgrade features a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. It also adds SAIL lock, SAIF valve, and BSAI clamp-lock variants the SI lacked. The -S suffix means it has a piston magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B sensors.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI100X72S 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 SAI100X72S 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 using the full 3927N push force at 0.5 MPa.
To replace the SI100X72S, order the SAI100X72S. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, G1/2 port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and -S magnet. The SAI uses current AirTAC switches instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B. For sizing both ways, a neighboring 80mm bore yields 2513N push at 0.5MPa, while a 125mm bore yields 6136N. A plain cylinder does not hold load on air loss; the cushion only decelerates. For load holding, use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant. Because this stroke is under 300mm, rod-bending side loads are minimal, but always guide the load.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI100X72S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI100X72S. It features the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 100mm bore, 72mm stroke, output force, and G1/2 port, fitting existing fixtures perfectly.
The G1/2 port feeds a 100mm bore that delivers 3927N push and 3681N pull at 0.5 MPa, 5497N push at 0.7 MPa, 7068N push at 0.9 MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI100X72S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
