This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI50X220S, 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 SI50X220S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 220mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI50X220S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI50X220S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 50mm bore and 220mm stroke. It delivers 982N push force at 0.5MPa via a G1/4 port. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAI50X220S, a direct upgrade retaining the exact interface, dimensions, and output.
The SAI successor features an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. The original SI line lacked lock variants, but the SAI family adds SAIL and BSAI options. The -S suffix denotes a piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors.

The SAI50X220S 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 routing gates on packaging lines using the 982N push force, with the 220mm stroke providing full lane-clearance travel.
Deploys a mechanical stop block for low-inertia pallets, safely handling the 50kg vertical-lift equivalent load.
Drives mid-force clamping fixtures on machining cells, relying on the 30mm adjustable air cushions for smooth end-of-stroke deceleration.
To replace the SI50X220S, order the SAI50X220S. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 50mm bore, 220mm stroke, M16x1.5 rod thread, and G1/4 port (PT/G/NPT). Retain your mounting accessory (LB, FA, TC, etc.) and the -S magnet requirement for current AirTAC switches. For sizing, the neighbouring 63mm bore yields 1559N push at 0.5MPa, while dropping to 40mm gives 628N. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss; the cushion only decelerates. For load holding, use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant. At 220mm stroke, guide the load to prevent rod bending and side-load wear.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI50X220S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the AirTAC SAI50X220S. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, matching the 50mm bore, 220mm stroke, 982N force, G1/4 port, and mounting interface.
This double-acting cylinder uses a G1/4 air port. It generates 982N push and 825N pull at 0.5MPa, 1374N push at 0.7MPa, and 1767N at 0.9MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 200kgf at 1.0MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI50X220S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
