This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI50X175STC, 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 SI50X175STC is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 175mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI50X175STC, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI50X175STC is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 50mm bore and 175mm stroke. It delivers 982N push and 825N pull at 0.5MPa via a G1/4 port. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAI50X175STC, a direct upgrade sharing the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, TC trunnion mount, and force class.
The SAI replacement features an upgraded piston seal using two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. The SAI family also introduces SAIL, SAIF, and BSAI lock variants absent in the SI line. Your -S code denotes a piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors.

| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 200 kgf | |
The SAI50X175STC 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).
Routes medium-weight cartons on packaging lines using the 982N push force and 175mm stroke to actuate routing gates.
Controls pallet flow on accumulation conveyors, using the TC trunnion mount to accommodate angular misalignment.
To replace this SI50X175STC, order the SAI50X175STC. Confirm the ISO 15552 TC trunnion interface, 50mm bore, 175mm stroke, G1/4 port, and the -S magnet. If you need more force, the neighbouring 63mm bore yields 1559N push at 0.5MPa; if less is required, the 40mm bore offers 628N. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates—so for load holding use an external pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants. At 175mm stroke, side-load risks are low, but ensure the TC trunnion pivots freely to prevent rod bending.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI50X175STC is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI50X175STC. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 50mm bore, 175mm stroke, G1/4 port, TC mounting, and output force.
This 50mm bore cylinder uses a G1/4 air port. It generates 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 SAI50X175STC replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
