This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI200BX550SH, 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 SI200BX550SH is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø200mm bore and 550mm stroke, G3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI200BX550SH, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI200BX550SH is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 200mm bore and 550mm stroke. Delivering 15708 N push force at 0.5 MPa via a G3/4 port, it featured a SUS304 stainless rod and Viton H seals for 0-150 C high-temp environments. AirTAC replaced this end-of-line unit with the SAI200BX550SH.
The SAI200BX550SH is a direct replacement matching the ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, force, port and accessories. It upgrades the piston seal to two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life.

| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 3204 kgf | |
The SAI200BX550SH 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).
Applies up to 21991 N at 0.7 MPa for stamping and forming large metal panels in hot environments using the Viton H seal.
Drives large injection molds over the 550mm travel, relying on the SUS304 stainless rod for corrosive resin environments.
To replace the SI200BX550SH, order the SAI200BX550SH. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, the 550mm stroke, G3/4 port, and your specific mounting accessory (LB, FA, TC, etc.). The -S magnet works with legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, though the SAI family uses current AirTAC switches. Sizing both ways: this 200mm bore gives 15708 N push at 0.5 MPa; dropping to a 160mm bore yields 10053 N. Because 550mm is a long stroke, prevent rod bending by using an external guide to absorb side loads. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates—so use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant for load holding.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI200BX550SH is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI200BX550SH. It shares the exact same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 200mm bore, 550mm stroke, force, G3/4 port, and mounting accessories, fitting directly into existing fixtures.
It features a G3/4 air port and provides 15708 N push / 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 of 3204 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating speed is 30-500 mm/s.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI200BX550SH replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
