This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI200X500, 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 SI200X500 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 SAI200X500, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI200X500 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 40mm rod, M36x2 thread, and a G3/4 air port. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAI200X500, a direct replacement matching the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, output force, and port size.
The SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and extended life. Note this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CS1-B or DS1-B sensors. If high-temperature operation is needed, a Viton H seal option raises the range to 150 C.

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 metal forming presses requiring 15708 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa to shape thick steel plates.
Secures heavy industrial molds on injection molding lines, utilizing the 50mm adjustable air cushions to decelerate massive masses.
To replace the discontinued SI200X500, order the SAI200X500. Verify your ISO 15552 mounting accessory (LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion), the G3/4 port thread (PT/G/NPT), and the 500mm stroke. Sizing both ways: a neighbouring 160mm bore yields 10053 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up is not standard above 200mm. Because this is a 500mm stroke, external guides are recommended to prevent rod-bending under side loads. A plain cylinder does not hold load without live air; the cushion only decelerates. For load holding, use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants. This no-magnet SKU cannot support sensing.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI200X500 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI200X500. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, matching the 200mm bore, 500mm stroke, G3/4 port, and mounting interface, so it fits existing fixtures perfectly.
The 200mm bore provides 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, operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa, and it uses a G3/4 port.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI200X500 replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
