This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI50X300SN, 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 SI50 Standard Cylinder SI50X300SN is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 300mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI50X300SN, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI50X300SN is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 50mm bore and 300mm stroke. Delivering 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa via a G1/4 port, it is replaced by the SAI50X300SN. This direct successor shares identical ISO 15552 mounting dimensions, bore, stroke, and output force.
The SAI upgrade features a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. This SI50X300SN includes a piston magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B switches and an NBR seal (-20 to +70 C; Viton H raises this to 150 C).

| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 200 kgf | |
The SAI50X300SN 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 sorting gates on packaging lines, using the 982 N push force to deflect medium-weight cartons reliably at speed.
Drives lifting forks or indexing pins in automated storage fixtures, fitting existing ISO 15552 foot and clevis mounts.
To replace the SI50X300SN, order the SAI50X300SN. Confirm the ISO 15552 interface, G1/4 port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and 300mm stroke. The built-in magnet (-S) works with legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, while the SAI uses current AirTAC switches. For sizing, the 50mm bore yields 982 N push at 0.5 MPa; dropping to a 40mm bore gives 628 N, while a 63mm bore provides 1559 N. Because this is a 300mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load wear. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates. For load holding, use an external pilot check valve, or specify the SAIL or BSAI lock variants.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI50X300SN is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI50X300SN. It shares the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 50mm bore, 300mm stroke, output force, and G1/4 port, so it fits directly into existing fixtures.
The G1/4 port feeds a 20mm piston rod. At 0.5 MPa it provides 982 N push and 825 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa push is 1374 N, and at 0.9 MPa it is 1767 N. The theoretical maximum force is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI50X300SN replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
