This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI50X200S, 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 SI50X200S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 200mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI50X200S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI50X200S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 50mm bore and 200mm stroke. Delivering 982N push force at 0.5MPa via a 1/4 in port, it is succeeded by the SAI50X200S, with the same bore, stroke and ISO 15552 mounting interface. AirTAC's replacement chart confirms the series path only, not every detail of an installation; check the drawing, rod end and sensor fit against your machine before swapping. The SAI features an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for lower start-up pressure and longer life. For magnet-equipped legacy SI models, position CS1-B/DS1-B switches in the sensor groove.
The SAI family also introduces variants absent from the SI line, including SAIL air-released locks, SAIF integrated 4M valves, and BSAI clamp-locks. Rod material options span carbon steel, SUS420J2, and SUS304, with Viton H seals available for high-temperature environments.

The SAI50X200S 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).
Actuates diverting arms on packaging lines using the 982N push force at 0.5MPa to redirect cartons reliably without bouncing.
Deploys heavy-duty end stops for roller conveyors, absorbing kinetic energy from pallets via the 30mm adjustable air cushion.
Drives medium-duty machining clamps with 982N theoretical push at 0.5MPa.
To replace the discontinued SI50X200S, order the successor SAI50X200S, verifying the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 50mm bore, 200mm stroke, 1/4 in port and thread type, and the -S magnet for current AirTAC switch compatibility. If downsizing, the 40mm bore yields 628N push at 0.5MPa; if upsizing, the 63mm bore provides 1559N. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss because the adjustable cushion only decelerates at stroke end, so specify an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant for held loads. For 200mm strokes, guide external rods to prevent side-loading and rod bending.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI50X200S is discontinued. The current successor is the SAI50X200S, with the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 50mm bore, 200mm stroke, output force and 1/4 in port. Check the drawing, rod end and sensor fit against your machine before swapping.
This double-acting cylinder features a 1/4 in air port and an M16x1.5 rod thread. It delivers 982N push and 825N pull at 0.5MPa, 1374N push at 0.7MPa, 1767N push at 0.9MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 200kgf at 1.0MPa.
