This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI50BX155S, 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 SI50BX155S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 155mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI50BX155S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI50BX155S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 50 mm bore, 155 mm stroke, and a SUS304 stainless steel rod. It delivers 982 N push and 825 N pull at 0.5 MPa through a G1/4 port. The direct replacement is the SAI50BX155S, matching the bore, stroke, force, port, and ISO 15552 mounting interface for existing fixtures.
The SAI upgrade features an improved piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. The SAI family also adds SAIL, SAIF, and BSAI lock variants absent in the SI line.

| 0.7 MPa | 1374 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 200 kgf | |
The SAI50BX155S 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).
Ideal for fixture clamping in washdown areas, utilizing the SUS304 rod and 982 N push force to secure components during machining.
Handles package diverting on conveyors with a 155 mm nonstandard stroke, providing rapid 30-800 mm/s actuation.
To replace this SI50BX155S, order the SAI50BX155S and confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 50 mm bore, 155 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and the -S magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B switches. Note that 155 mm is a nonstandard stroke. If you need more force, the 63 mm bore yields 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa; if less force is acceptable, the 40 mm bore provides 628 N. This plain cylinder does not hold load without live air, so for vertical applications use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant. The 155 mm stroke is short, but for any stroke over 300 mm, add a guide to prevent rod bending.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI50BX155S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI50BX155S. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 50 mm bore, 155 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and mounting interface.
This double-acting cylinder has a G1/4 port. It delivers 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 SAI50BX155S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
