This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the drop-in replacement SAI32BX280S, 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 SI32BX280S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 280mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the SAI32BX280S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI32BX280S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 32mm bore, 280mm stroke, and a SUS304 stainless steel rod. Delivering 402N push force at 0.5MPa via a G1/8 port, it is replaced by the SAI32BX280S. This drop-in successor matches the exact bore, stroke, force, and ISO 15552 mounting interface to fit existing fixtures.
The SAI upgrade features two Y-shaped one-way piston seals for low start-up pressure and long life. For this bore, safe working load is roughly 241N (60% of 402N) with a vertical lift capacity around 20kg at a 2:1 margin. The SAI family also adds SAIL, SAIF, and BSAI lock variants the SI lacked. This -S model retains a piston magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B sensors.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI32BX280S carries the same ISO 15552 ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |

| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 82 kgf | |
The SAI32BX280S 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.

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).
Uses the 402N push force and 280mm stroke to push light machined components out of a fixture cleanly.
Extends across a belt line to deflect small cartons, relying on the SUS304 rod for washdown corrosion resistance.
Moves lightweight bins between zones where the 32mm ISO 15552 footprint and 20kg vertical lift margin are ideal.
To replace the SI32BX280S, order the SAI32BX280S ensuring the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 32mm bore, 280mm stroke, G1/8 port, and SUS304 rod are retained. At 0.5MPa it yields 402N push and 345N pull; if undersized, the neighboring 40mm bore provides 628N push. For the 280mm stroke, use a guide to prevent rod bending and side loads. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss; for load holding use an external pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants. The -S magnet works with legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI32BX280S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAI32BX280S, which shares the identical ISO 15552 mounting interface, 32mm bore, 280mm stroke, G1/8 port, and output force.
It uses a G1/8 air port. The force output is 402N push and 345N pull at 0.5MPa, 563N push at 0.7MPa, 724N push at 0.9MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 82kgf at 1.0MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI32BX280S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
