This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI50X1520, 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 SI50X1520 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 1520mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI50X1520, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI50X1520 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 50mm bore and 1520mm stroke. Because 1520mm exceeds the 1200mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, it is a non-standard, made-to-order unit. It delivered 982N push force at 0.5MPa through a G1/4 port. The direct replacement is the SAI50X1520, sharing the same interface, force, and mounting.
The SAI upgrade features a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. Note this SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot take CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. For high heat, Viton H seals raise the temperature range to 0-150C.

The SAI50X1520 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).
Transfers products across wide conveyor belts using the full 1520mm extension, requiring external guide rails to prevent rod bending.
Exerts 982N push at 0.5MPa to divert heavy pallets or totes at sorting stations, sized safely for a 589N working load.
Lowers fixtures over a 1.5-meter vertical drop, relying on a pilot-operated check valve to hold the load when air is removed.
To replace the SI50X1520, order the SAI50X1520. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting accessory (LB, FA, TC, etc.), the G1/4 port, and the M16x1.5 rod thread. This non-standard 1520mm stroke requires external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load damage. For sizing both ways: a 40mm bore gives 628N push at 0.5MPa, while a 63mm bore gives 1559N. This plain cylinder does not hold load without live air; the 30mm adjustable cushion only decelerates. For load holding, use an external pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants. Since this is a no-S SKU, it cannot accept position sensors.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI50X1520 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI50X1520. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, keeping the same 50mm bore, 1520mm stroke, G1/4 port, and mounting fixtures.
This double-acting cylinder uses a G1/4 air port. The force ratings are: 982N push and 825N pull at 0.5MPa, 1374N push at 0.7MPa, 1767N push at 0.9MPa, and a theoretical max of 200kgf at 1.0MPa. Operating speed is 30-800mm/s.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI50X1520 replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
