This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI50BX275, 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 SI50BX275 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 275mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI50BX275, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI50BX275 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 50mm bore and 275mm stroke. It delivers 982N push and 825N pull at 0.5MPa. The direct replacement is the SAI50BX275, matching the G1/4 port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and 30mm cushions.
The SAI upgrade features a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure. This SKU lacks a magnet (-S), so it cannot take CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. The -B rod is SUS304 stainless.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI50BX275 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 SAI50BX275 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 push force at 0.5MPa to deflect medium-weight cartons reliably.
Provides 275mm travel to position and secure workholding fixtures on machining centers, utilizing the SUS304 stainless rod.
Controls descent stops for 50kg material trays, requiring external pilot check valves since cushions cannot hold loads.
To replace the SI50BX275, order the SAI50BX275. Verify the ISO 15552 mounting interface, G1/4 port, and 275mm stroke. Sizing both ways: a 63mm bore yields 1559N push at 0.5MPa, while a 40mm bore yields 628N. For the 275mm stroke, add external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads. This non-magnet SKU cannot support switches. For load holding on air loss, use an external pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant, as cushions only decelerate.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI50BX275 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI50BX275, which shares the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 50mm bore, 275mm stroke, G1/4 port, and output force.
It operates at 30-800 mm/s with a G1/4 port. Force ratings: push 982N and pull 825N at 0.5MPa, push 1374N at 0.7MPa, push 1767N at 0.9MPa, and a theoretical max of 200 kgf at 1.0MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI50BX275 replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
