This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI50AX100, 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 SI50 Standard Cylinder SI50AX100 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 100mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI50AX100, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI50AX100 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 50 mm bore and 100 mm stroke. It delivers 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a G1/4 port. The direct replacement is the SAI50AX100, which shares the exact same ISO 15552 mounting interface, stroke, force and porting for a seamless fixture swap. This specific SKU features a SUS420J2 stainless steel piston rod (the -A option) for corrosion resistance, but lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept position sensors.
The SAI50AX100 upgrade introduces a refined piston seal utilizing two Y-shaped one-way elements, ensuring low start-up pressure and extended service life. If your application requires load holding on air loss, note that the standard cushion only decelerates the piston; you will need an external pilot check valve or the SAIL lock variant.

The SAI50AX100 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).
Actuates routing gates on packaging lines where the 982 N push force easily redirects standard cartons.
The SUS420J2 stainless rod provides the corrosion resistance needed for clamping parts in wet machining environments.
To replace the discontinued SI50AX100, order the SAI50AX100. Verify your existing ISO 15552 mounting accessories (LB, FA, TC, etc.), the 100 mm stroke, and the G1/4 port threads. Because this SKU lacks a magnet (-S), it cannot support legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors; if sensing is required, select an SAI model with the S suffix. The -A rod indicates a SUS420J2 stainless rod, so specify this material code on the new SAI order if corrosion resistance is needed. Sizing both ways: the 50 mm bore yields 982 N push at 0.5 MPa (1374 N at 0.7 MPa); if this is insufficient, step up to the 63 mm bore (1559 N at 0.5 MPa), or drop to 40 mm (628 N) for lighter loads. For load-holding applications, remember the air cushion only decelerates and does not brake; consider the SAIL or BSAI lock variants.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI50AX100 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI50AX100. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 50 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, 982 N force, G1/4 port and mounting interface.
This double-acting cylinder uses a G1/4 port and generates 982 N push and 825 N pull at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 1374 N, and the theoretical maximum force is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI50AX100 replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
