This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI50X1000S, 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 SI50X1000S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 1000mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI50X1000S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI50X1000S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 50mm bore and 1000mm stroke. It delivers 982N push force at 0.5MPa via a G1/4 port. The direct replacement is the SAI50X1000S, matching the exact bore, stroke, force, port, and ISO 15552 mounting interface.
The SAI upgrade features a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. The SI -S suffix means a piston magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B sensors; the SAI uses current AirTAC switches. The SI line lacked lock variants, but the SAI family adds SAIL and BSAI options.

| 0.7 MPa | 1374 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 200 kgf | |
The SAI50X1000S produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

| -S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing. |
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 across a 1000mm conveyor belt transfer using 982N of thrust at 0.5MPa.
Ejects formed parts from a stamping press, requiring the full 1000mm extraction length.
To replace the SI50X1000S, order the SAI50X1000S direct, confirming the ISO 15552 interface, 50mm bore, 1000mm stroke, G1/4 port, and -S magnet. Sizing both ways: a 40mm bore yields 628N push at 0.5MPa, while a 63mm bore yields 1559N. At 1000mm, this cylinder is highly susceptible to rod bending and side loads—always use an external guide to prevent jamming. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss; the air cushion only decelerates. For load holding, use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI50X1000S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI50X1000S. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 50mm bore, 1000mm stroke, force, G1/4 port, and mounting fixtures.
This double-acting cylinder uses a G1/4 air port. It provides 982N push and 825N pull at 0.5MPa, 1374N push at 0.7MPa, and a theoretical maximum force of 200kgf at 1.0MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI50X1000S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
