This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the drop-in replacement SAI32BX450, 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 SI32BX450 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 450mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the SAI32BX450, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI32BX450 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 32 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, and SUS304 stainless steel rod. It delivers 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa via a G1/8 port. AirTAC replaced it with the SAI32BX450 drop-in upgrade, matching the bore, stroke, force, port, and ISO 15552 mounting interface exactly.
The SAI upgrade features a new piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. For this bore, a safe working load is roughly 241 N (about 60% of the 402 N push force), equating to a 20 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CS1-B/DS1-B sensors.

| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 82 kgf | |
The SAI32BX450 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).
Ideal for light-duty machinery requiring corrosion resistance, utilizing the SUS304 piston rod for reliable pushing in humid or washdown environments.
Provides the extended 450 mm reach needed for sorting or diverting packages on a line, though external guides should be fitted to manage side loads.
Capable of lifting light access gates or covers up to 20 kg safely at 0.5 MPa, provided a pilot check valve is installed to prevent drifting.
To replace the SI32BX450, order the SAI32BX450. Verify your ISO 15552 mounting fixtures (LB, FA, TC, etc.), the G1/8 air port, and the M10x1.25 rod thread. Because this 450 mm stroke is long, use external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load wear. A plain cylinder does not hold load on air loss; use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for holding, or specify the SAIL/BSAI lock variants. If downsizing, a 20 mm bore offers less force; if upsizing, a 40 mm bore yields 628 N push at 0.5 MPa. This -B SUS304 rod resists corrosion versus standard carbon steel. The Viton H seal option raises heat to 150 C.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI32BX450 is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAI32BX450. It shares the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 32 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and output force, fitting existing fixtures perfectly.
It features a G1/8 port and provides 402 N push / 345 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563 N push at 0.7 MPa, 724 N push at 0.9 MPa, and a theoretical max of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The speed range is 30-800 mm/s.
