This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI50X210S, 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 SI50X210S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 210mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI50X210S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI50X210S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 50mm bore and 210mm stroke, delivering 982 N push and 825 N pull at 0.5 MPa through a G1/4 port. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAI50X210S, a direct sharing the exact interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The SAI upgrade features two Y-shaped one-way piston seals for low start-up pressure and long life. The -S suffix means a built-in piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors; the SAI uses current AirTAC switches. You can also spec Viton H seals for 0-150 C heat, or SAIL/BSAI lock variants the SI lacked.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI50X210S carries the same ISO 15552 ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.

| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 200 kgf | |
The SAI50X210S 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).
Drives diverting arms on packaging lines using the 982 N push force and 210 mm stroke to redirect cartons at high speed.
Acts as a pneumatic stop gate for pallets, where the 50 kg vertical lift margin safely manages gate weight and friction.
Secures medium workpieces during machining, relying on adjustable 30 mm cushions to soften end-of-stroke impacts.
To replace the SI50X210S, order the SAI50X210S: it drops into the same ISO 15552 fixtures with identical 50mm bore, 210mm stroke, M16x1.5 rod thread, G1/4 port and 30mm cushions. Confirm your mounting accessory (LB, FA, TC, etc.) and thread standard (PT, G, NPT). The -S magnet is retained. If sizing up or down, neighbouring bores are 40mm (628 N push @0.5) and 63mm (1559 N push @0.5). Because stroke is 210mm, ensure adequate guiding to prevent rod bending under side loads. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates—so for load holding use an external pilot check valve, rod lock, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI50X210S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI50X210S. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 50mm bore, 210mm stroke, G1/4 port, and mounting interface.
It features a G1/4 air port. The force ratings are: 982 N push and 825 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 1374 N push at 0.7 MPa, 1767 N push at 0.9 MPa, and a theoretical max of 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI50X210S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
