This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI50X135FA, 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 SI50X135FA is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 135mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI50X135FA, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI50X135FA is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 50mm bore, 135mm stroke, and an FA flange mounting interface. Delivering 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa, it is replaced by the SAI50X135FA. This direct successor matches the exact bore, stroke, output, G1/4 port, and ISO 15552 mounting dimensions for existing fixtures.
The SAI upgrade introduces a refined piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for lower start-up pressure and longer life. Note this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept position sensors; the legacy SI family used CS1-B/DS1-B switches on magnetized versions. The SAI family also adds SAIL, SAIF, and BSAI lock variants absent in the SI line.

The SAI50X135FA 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).
Secures medium-duty workpieces on machining lines, utilizing the 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa to hold components firmly during secondary operations.
Drives 135mm stroke diverting arms on packaging conveyors to route boxes, relying on the FA flange mount to maintain rigid alignment under lateral stress.
To replace the SI50X135FA, order the SAI50X135FA. Confirm the ISO 15552 FA flange interface, 50mm bore, 135mm stroke, G1/4 port (PT/G/NPT thread options), and double-acting operation. Because this SKU has no magnet (-S), it cannot support switches; if sensing is needed, order an SAI50X135FAS instead. For sizing, the 50mm bore yields 982 N push at 0.5 MPa; dropping to a 40mm bore reduces push to 628 N, while stepping up to a 63mm bore increases it to 1559 N. Since this is a plain cylinder, it will not hold a load without live air—the cushions only decelerate. For load holding, use an external pilot check valve or explore the SAIL or BSAI lock variants.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI50X135FA is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI50X135FA. It shares the identical ISO 15552 mounting interface, 50mm bore, 135mm stroke, force, G1/4 port, and FA flange, fitting directly into existing machinery.
The bore is 50mm with a G1/4 air port. At 0.5 MPa it provides 982 N push and 825 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa push is 1374 N, and the theoretical maximum force is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates at speeds of 30-800 mm/s.
