This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI50X1230STC, 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 SI50X1230STC is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 1230mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI50X1230STC, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI50X1230STC is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 50mm bore and 1230mm stroke. It delivers 982N push force at 0.5MPa via a G1/4 port. As a legacy unit, its direct replacement is the SAI50X1230STC, matching the bore, stroke, force, port, and TC trunnion mount for immediate fixture compatibility.
The SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. The SAI family adds SAIL lock, SAIF valve, and BSAI clamp variants the SI lacked. Note this 1230mm unit exceeds the 1200mm standard, requiring made-to-order processing and external guides to prevent rod bending.

The SAI50X1230STC 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).
Moves packages between distant conveyor stations using the 1230mm stroke, requiring external guide rails to support the extended rod and prevent binding.
Actuates a pusher mechanism to divert totes in automated storage systems, utilizing the 982N push force at 0.5 MPa to displace loads safely.
Lowers components at a controlled 30-800 mm/s speed, relying on a pilot-operated check valve since the air cushion only decelerates near stroke end and cannot hold the load.
To replace the SI50X1230STC, order the SAI50X1230STC. Confirm the ISO 15552 TC trunnion interface, 50mm bore, 1230mm stroke, G1/4 port (PT/G/NPT), and the -S magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B sensors (the SAI uses current AirTAC switches). Sizing both ways: a 40mm bore yields 628N push @0.5MPa, while a 63mm bore yields 1559N. A plain cylinder drifts without live air; the cushion only decelerates. For load holding, use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI variant. Because the 1230mm stroke exceeds the 1200mm standard (made-to-order) and is >=300mm, add external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI50X1230STC is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI50X1230STC. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, matching the 50mm bore, 1230mm stroke, G1/4 port, TC trunnion mount, and output force.
The 50mm bore uses a G1/4 port. Force ratings are: 982N push and 825N pull at 0.5 MPa, 1374N push at 0.7 MPa, 1767N push at 0.9 MPa, and a theoretical max of 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 1230mm stroke is non-standard (exceeding the 1200mm max standard) and operates at 30-800 mm/s.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI50X1230STC replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
