This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI50BX350, 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 SI50BX350 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 350mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI50BX350, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI50BX350 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 50mm bore and 350mm stroke. It delivers 982 N push and 825 N pull at 0.5 MPa via a G1/4 port. The direct replacement is the SAI50BX350, featuring an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life.
Since this SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot accept a CS1-B/DS1-B sensor. The SAI family adds SAIL, SAIF, and BSAI variants. A Viton H seal option raises heat resistance to 150 C.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI50BX350 carries the same ISO 15552 ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |

| 0.7 MPa | 1374 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 200 kgf | |
The SAI50BX350 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 982 N push force to deflect cartons at 30-800 mm/s.
Pushes totes into staging zones, where the adjustable 30mm cushion decelerates the load smoothly.
To replace the SI50BX350, order the SAI50BX350. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, matching the 50mm bore, 350mm stroke, G1/4 port, M16x1.5 thread, and mounting. This no-magnet SKU cannot take a switch. If you need more force, the 63mm bore offers 1559 N. Because the 350mm stroke invites rod bending, use an external guide to prevent side loads. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss; for load holding, use a pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the AirTAC SI50BX350 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI50BX350. It shares the identical ISO 15552 mounting interface, 50mm bore, 350mm stroke, output force, and G1/4 port, fitting existing fixtures perfectly.
The G1/4 port feeds a cylinder delivering 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. The 20mm rod has an M16x1.5 thread.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI50BX350 replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
