This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI200BX280S, 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 SI200 Standard Cylinder SI200BX280S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø200mm bore and 280mm stroke, G3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI200BX280S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI200BX280S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 200 mm bore and 280 mm stroke. Built with an extruded aluminum barrel, it delivers 15708 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The direct replacement is the SAI200BX280S, which matches the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, G3/4 port, M36x2 rod thread, and output force.
The SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and extended life. This specific unit includes the -S magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B legacy sensors and the -B SUS304 stainless steel rod for corrosion resistance.

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 large presses and metal forming tools where the 21991 N push force at 0.7 MPa is required to deform heavy plate steel.
Indexes loaded pallets on high-capacity conveyors, utilizing the 280 mm stroke to push heavy goods smoothly between machining cells.
Secures oversized structural components during welding or machining, taking advantage of the 801 kg vertical lift margin for reliable holding.
To replace the SI200BX280S, order the SAI200BX280S and confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 200 mm bore, 280 mm stroke, G3/4 port, and -S magnet. The SAI family also adds SAIL (air-released lock), SAIF (built-in 4M valve), and BSAI (clamp-lock) variants the SI lacked. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss; the cushion only decelerates. For load holding, use an external rod lock or pilot check valve. If sizing both ways, neighboring bores shift force significantly, but this 200 mm bore hits a theoretical max of 3204 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because the stroke exceeds 300 mm, ensure adequate guide support to prevent rod bending and side-load damage.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI200BX280S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI200BX280S. It shares the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 200 mm bore, 280 mm stroke, output force, and G3/4 port, fitting existing fixtures perfectly.
The G3/4 port feeds a 40 mm rod. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 15708 N and pulls 15080 N. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 21991 N, and the theoretical maximum is 3204 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI200BX280S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
