This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI50BX320S, 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 SI50BX320S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 320mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI50BX320S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI50BX320S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 50mm bore, 320mm stroke, and SUS304 stainless steel rod. Delivering 982N push force at 0.5MPa, it is replaced by the SAI50BX320S. This direct upgrade shares identical ISO 15552 mounting dimensions, porting (G1/4), and accessories.
The SAI features an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. The -S magnet supports legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, while load holding requires external checks since cushions only decelerate.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI50BX320S 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 SAI50BX320S 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 pushing packages on packaging lines where moisture requires the SUS304 rod option to prevent corrosion.
The 320mm stroke handles part ejection tasks, provided external guides mitigate side-load risks on the extended rod.
To replace the SI50BX320S, order the SAI50BX320S, confirming the ISO 15552 interface, 50mm bore, 320mm stroke, G1/4 port, and SUS304 (-B) rod. If downsizing, a 40mm bore yields 628N push at 0.5MPa; if upsizing, a 63mm bore yields 1559N. For the 320mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending from side loads. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss, so use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for holding, or specify the SAIL/BSAI lock variant.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI50BX320S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI50BX320S, which shares the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 50mm bore, 320mm stroke, G1/4 port, and output force.
The G1/4 port bore delivers 982N push and 825N pull at 0.5MPa, 1374N push at 0.7MPa, 1767N at 0.9MPa, and a theoretical max of 200kgf at 1.0MPa. It operates at 30-800mm/s.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI50BX320S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
