This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI50AX135, 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 SI50AX135 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 135mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI50AX135, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI50AX135 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 50mm bore and 135mm stroke. It delivers 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa, uses a G1/4 port, and features a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod. The direct replacement is the SAI50AX135, which shares identical ISO 15552 mounting dimensions, output force, and port size.
Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet suffix, it cannot accept a position sensor. The SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for lower start-up pressure and longer life.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI50AX135 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 | 982 N | 825 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1374 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 200 kgf | |
The SAI50AX135 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).
Drives diverter arms on packaging lines where the 982 N push force easily handles routing standard cartons at 30-800 mm/s.
Provides reliable clamping pressure for medium-duty CNC machining fixtures, utilizing the SUS420J2 stainless rod for corrosion resistance.
To replace the SI50AX135, order the SAI50AX135 to retain the exact ISO 15552 interface, 50mm bore, 135mm stroke, G1/4 port, and M16x1.5 rod thread. Confirm your mounting accessory (LB, FA, TC, etc.) and thread standard (PT, G, NPT) carry over directly. If you need position sensing, you must select an SAI variant with the magnet suffix, as this legacy SKU cannot host a switch. For sizing alternatives, a 40mm bore yields 628 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a 63mm bore provides 1559 N. Note that a standard cylinder drifts on air loss; the air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end. For load holding, use an external pilot check valve or explore the SAIL or BSAI lock variants.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the AirTAC SI50AX135 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI50AX135. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, maintaining the same 50mm bore, 135mm stroke, G1/4 port, and mounting footprint.
This double-acting cylinder uses a G1/4 air port. It generates 982 N push and 825 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 1374 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical maximum force of 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI50AX135 replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
