This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI50AX70S, 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 SI50AX70S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 70mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI50AX70S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI50AX70S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 50 mm bore, 70 mm stroke, and a G1/4 port. It delivers 982 N of push force and 825 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The direct replacement is the SAI50AX70S, matching the original bore, stroke, output force, port size, and ISO 15552 mounting interface for a seamless fixture swap.
The SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and extended life. This SI50AX70S variant features a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (-A) and a piston magnet (-S) for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI50AX70S 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 SAI50AX70S produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

| ×70 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing. |
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 securing medium-sized metal or composite parts during machining, utilizing the 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa.
Provides reliable 70 mm stroke actuation for routing moderate-weight goods on assembly and packaging lines.
To replace the SI50AX70S, order the SAI50AX70S and confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 50 mm bore, 70 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and your specific mounting accessory. The -S magnet enables position sensing, and the -A rod specifies the SUS420J2 stainless steel material. If you need more force, the neighbouring 63 mm bore provides 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa; if less is required, the 40 mm bore offers 628 N. Remember that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates—so use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant for load holding.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the AirTAC SI50AX70S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI50AX70S. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 50 mm bore, 70 mm stroke, force, G1/4 port, and mounting interface.
The 50 mm bore cylinder delivers 982 N push and 825 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 1374 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical max of 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates at 30-800 mm/s, features a 20 mm rod, M16x1.5 thread, and 30 mm adjustable cushions.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI50AX70S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
