This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI200X490S, 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 SI200X490S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø200mm bore and 490mm stroke, G3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI200X490S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI200X490S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder. Delivering 15708 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a 200 mm bore and 490 mm stroke, it featured a 40 mm carbon steel rod, M36x2 thread, and a G3/4 air port. The direct replacement is the SAI200X490S, matching the interface, bore, stroke, force, and mounting.
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 the SI lacked. This -S model has a magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B switches; the SAI uses current AirTAC switches.

| 0.7 MPa | 21991 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 3204 kgf | |
The SAI200X490S 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 the 15708 N push force at 0.5 MPa for forming and stamping large metal panels in automotive assembly lines.
Drives robust clamping mechanisms on heavy machinery, relying on the 40 mm rod to maintain rigidity over the long travel.
To replace the SI200X490S, order the SAI200X490S. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 200 mm bore, 490 mm stroke, G3/4 port, and your mounting accessory. The -S suffix means a magnet for position sensing; the SAI takes current AirTAC switches. If you need more force, the only option is custom sizing, as 200 mm is the largest standard bore. If less force is acceptable, step down to a 160 mm bore (10053 N push at 0.5 MPa). For a 490 mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending and side loads. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss; for load holding, use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI200X490S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI200X490S. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, matching the 200 mm bore, 490 mm stroke, G3/4 port, and mounting fixtures.
The 200 mm bore 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 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 SAI200X490S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
