This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI50BX300, 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 SI50BX300 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 300mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI50BX300, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI50BX300 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 50mm bore and 300mm stroke. It delivers 982N push force at 0.5MPa via a G1/4 port. The direct replacement is the SAI50BX300, matching the interface, force, and mounting.
This SAI upgrade features a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure. The -B rod is SUS304 stainless steel. With no -S suffix, this SKU lacks a magnet and cannot take a sensor.

| 0.7 MPa | 1374 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 200 kgf | |
The SAI50BX300 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 at 30-800 mm/s on packaging lines where the 982N thrust easily handles standard transit loads.
Applies consistent downward pressure for component seating, utilizing the 825N pull force at 0.5 MPa for stable return.
Acts as a pneumatic stop mechanism for palletized goods, with the 300mm stroke providing ample reach to halt workflow.
To replace the SI50BX300, order the SAI50BX300. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 50mm bore, 300mm stroke, G1/4 port (PT/G/NPT), and accessories. If sensing is needed, note this non-magnetic SKU cannot hold a switch. For sizing, a 40mm bore yields 628N push at 0.5MPa, while a 63mm bore provides 1559N. At 300mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load wear. The cushion only decelerates; for load holding on air loss, use an external pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI50BX300 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI50BX300. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, keeping the same 50mm bore, 300mm stroke, G1/4 port, and mounting fixtures.
It features a G1/4 port and delivers a push force of 982N and pull of 825N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa push is 1374N, and 1767N at 0.9 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI50BX300 replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
