This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the drop-in replacement SAI32AX85S, 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 SI32 Standard Air Cylinder SI32AX85S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 85mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the SAI32AX85S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI32AX85S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 32mm bore and 85mm stroke. It delivers 402N push force at 0.5MPa via a G1/8 port. The direct drop-in replacement is the SAI32AX85S, matching the interface, force, and mounting exactly.
The SAI upgrade features a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. This -A variant uses a SUS420J2 stainless rod, and the -S magnet works with legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. For sizing, the safe working load is roughly 241N (60% of 402N), allowing a 20kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI32AX85S carries the same ISO 15552 ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 402 N | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 82 kgf | |
The SAI32AX85S produces the same force from the same bore — a true drop-in on output. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

| -S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing. |
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).
Ideal for securing lightweight machined components during secondary milling or drilling operations.
Provides compact actuation for routing small cartons on packaging lines with precise 85mm travel.
Drives pick-and-place heads for PCB handling where a 241N safe working load is sufficient.
To replace the SI32AX85S, order the SAI32AX85S. Verify the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 85mm stroke, G1/8 port, and mounting accessory. The -S magnet enables current AirTAC switches (legacy used CS1-B/DS1-B), while the -A rod specifies SUS420J2 stainless steel. If you need more force, the neighboring 40mm bore offers 628N push at 0.5MPa. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss; for load holding, use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants. The SAI family also adds the SAIF self-valve option for bores 32-100mm.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI32AX85S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAI32AX85S. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 32mm bore, 85mm stroke, force, G1/8 port, and mounting interface.
This 32mm bore cylinder has a G1/8 port and provides 402N push / 345N pull at 0.5MPa, 563N push at 0.7MPa, 724N push at 0.9MPa, and a theoretical max of 82kgf at 1.0MPa. It operates at 30-800mm/s.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI32AX85S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
