This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI50AX190, 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 SI50AX190 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 190mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI50AX190, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI50AX190 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 50mm bore and 190mm stroke. It delivers 982N push force at 0.5MPa via a G1/4 port. The direct replacement is the SAI50AX190, matching the interface, force, and mounting. This SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept position switches.
The SAI upgrade features a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. The SAI family adds SAIL, SAIF, and BSAI lock variants the SI lacked. An -A rod denotes SUS420J2 stainless steel, and Viton H seals raise heat to 150C.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI50AX190 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 SAI50AX190 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, using the 982N thrust to push cartons smoothly without stalling.
Provides reliable clamping force for mid-weight machining fixtures, benefiting from the 30mm adjustable cushion.
To replace the SI50AX190, order the SAI50AX190. Verify the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 190mm stroke, G1/4 port, and accessory type. This no-magnet SKU cannot take a sensor; legacy SI -S models used CS1-B/DS1-B switches. Sizing both ways: a 40mm bore yields 628N push at 0.5MPa, while a 63mm bore yields 1559N. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates. For load holding, use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant. At 190mm stroke, side-load risk is low, but ensure rod alignment to prevent premature seal wear.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI50AX190 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI50AX190. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, keeping the same 50mm bore, 190mm stroke, G1/4 port, and mounting interface.
This double-acting cylinder uses a G1/4 port. It generates 982N push and 825N pull at 0.5MPa, 1374N push at 0.7MPa, and a theoretical max of 200kgf at 1.0MPa. The rod thread is M16x1.5.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI50AX190 replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
