This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI200BX500S, 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 SI200 Standard Cylinder SI200BX500S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø200mm bore and 500mm stroke, G3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI200BX500S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI200BX500S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 200mm bore and 500mm stroke. Delivering 15708 N push force at 0.5 MPa, it features a SUS304 stainless piston rod (-B), a G3/4 port, and a built-in magnet (-S) for CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. AirTAC replaced this EOL unit with the SAI200BX500S, a direct sharing the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, and output force.
The SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. The SAI family also adds SAIL and BSAI lock variants absent in the SI line. Note that plain cylinders drift without air; cushions only decelerate.

| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 3204 kgf | |
The SAI200BX500S 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).
Drives large press platens requiring 15708 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, utilizing the 500mm stroke for deep-draw operations.
Actuates large industrial clamps over a 500mm distance, relying on the G3/4 port for rapid 30-500 mm/s cycling.
To replace the SI200BX500S, order the SAI200BX500S, confirming the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 500mm stroke, G3/4 port, and the SUS304 rod (-B). The magnet (-S) supports legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, though the SAI uses current AirTAC switches. Sizing both ways: a 160mm bore yields 10053 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 200mm bore hits 21991 N at 0.7 MPa. For this 500mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending and side loads. If you need load holding on air loss, the cushion will not lock the piston; specify an external pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the AirTAC SI200BX500S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI200BX500S. It shares the identical ISO 15552 mounting interface, 200mm bore, 500mm stroke, output force, G3/4 port, and SUS304 rod material, fitting directly into existing fixtures.
This 200mm bore cylinder has a G3/4 air port and M36x2 rod thread. It delivers 15708 N push and 15080 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 21991 N push at 0.7 MPa, 28274 N push at 0.9 MPa, and a theoretical max force of 3204 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI200BX500S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
