This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI50X30SN, 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.
Airtac SI50 Standard Cylinder SI50X30SN
The AirTAC Airtac SI50 Standard Cylinder SI50X30SN is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 30mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI50X30SN, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SI50 Standard Cylinder SI50X30SN
The AirTAC SI50X30SN is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 50mm bore and 30mm stroke. It delivers 982N push force at 0.5MPa via a G1/4 port. The direct replacement is the SAI50X30SN, matching the bore, stroke, force, port and ISO 15552 mounting interface.
The SAI upgrade features a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure. This -SN unit has an NBR seal (-20 to +70C) and a magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B sensors; SAI uses current switches.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø50mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 982 N | 825 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1374 N | — |

Where the Airtac SI50 Standard Cylinder SI50X30SN Is Used
Short-Stroke Clamping
Ideal for holding parts during machining, utilizing the 982N push force at 0.5MPa within a compact 30mm travel envelope.
Diversion Gate
Powers short-acting diverter arms on material handling lines, providing rapid 30mm actuation at speeds up to 800mm/s.
Replacing the Airtac SI50 Standard Cylinder SI50X30SN with the SAI50X30SN
To replace the SI50X30SN, order the SAI50X30SN. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 50mm bore, 30mm stroke, G1/4 port (PT/G/NPT), and mounting accessory. The -S magnet enables CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, while the -N denotes the NBR seal. For sizing, a 40mm bore yields 628N push at 0.5MPa, whereas a 63mm bore yields 1559N. 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. The 30mm stroke minimizes rod-bending side-load risks.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAI50X30SN
- ✓ Same bore / stroke / force
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/G/NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Mounting reused (FA/FB/CA/CB/CR/LB/TC)
Airtac SI50 Standard Cylinder SI50X30SN FAQ
Yes, the AirTAC SI50X30SN is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI50X30SN. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 50mm bore, 30mm stroke, output force, G1/4 port, and mounting interface.
The bore is 50mm with a G1/4 air port. The thrust is 982N push and 825N pull at 0.5MPa, 1374N push at 0.7MPa, 1767N push at 0.9MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 200kgf at 1.0MPa.
