This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI50AX650S, 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 SI50AX650S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 650mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI50AX650S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI50AX650S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 50 mm bore and 650 mm stroke. Delivering 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa, it features a SUS420J2 stainless piston rod, a G1/4 port, and a built-in magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAI50AX650S, a direct sharing the same interface, force, and mounting.
The SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. The SAI family also adds SAIL, SAIF, and BSAI lock variants absent from the SI line.

| 0.7 MPa | 1374 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 200 kgf | |
The SAI50AX650S 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).
Pushes packages across a 650 mm transfer lane using the 982 N thrust class, guided externally to prevent rod bending.
Drives a moist-environment test fixture using the SUS420J2 rod option, switching seamlessly to the SAI direct.
To replace the SI50AX650S, order the SAI50AX650S. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, preserving the 50 mm bore, 650 mm stroke, G1/4 port, M16x1.5 thread, and 30 mm cushions. Retain your existing mounting accessory and confirm the -S magnet for current AirTAC switches. If you need more force, the 63 mm bore offers 1559 N at 0.5 MPa; if less, the 40 mm bore provides 628 N. Because the 650 mm stroke invites rod bending, use an external guide to prevent side loads. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss, so for load holding choose the SAIL lock, BSAI clamp-lock, or an external pilot check valve.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI50AX650S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI50AX650S. It shares the identical ISO 15552 mounting interface, 50 mm bore, 650 mm stroke, force, and G1/4 port, fitting existing fixtures perfectly.
The G1/4 port bore delivers a push of 982 N and pull of 825 N at 0.5 MPa, 1374 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical max of 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI50AX650S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
