This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI50X450N, 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 SI50X450N is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 450mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI50X450N, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI50X450N is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 50mm bore and 450mm stroke. Providing 982N push force at 0.5MPa, it features a G1/4 port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and NBR seals for -20 to +70C. The direct replacement is the SAI50X450N, matching the interface, bore, force, and port.
The SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. This no-magnet SKU cannot take a sensor, unlike the CS1-B/DS1-B legacy switches used on -S models. The SAI family also adds SAIL, SAIF, and BSAI lock variants the SI lacked.

| 0.7 MPa | 1374 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 200 kgf | |
The SAI50X450N 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 diverter gates on packaging lines, utilizing the 982N push force at 0.5MPa to reliably push cartons between routing lanes.
Raises product stops in low-inertia vertical lift stations, safely handling loads around the 50kg computed vertical lift threshold.
Ejects machined parts from fixtures using the 450mm stroke, requiring external guide rails to prevent rod bending over the extended length.
To replace the SI50X450N, order the SAI50X450N. Verify the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 50mm bore, 450mm stroke, G1/4 port (PT/G/NPT), and mounting accessory. Because this 450mm stroke exceeds 300mm, use external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load wear. Sizing both ways: a 40mm bore yields 628N push at 0.5MPa, while a 63mm bore yields 1559N. Note that this plain cylinder does not hold load without live air; the cushion only decelerates. For load holding, use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant. This no-S SKU cannot accept a sensor.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the AirTAC SI50X450N is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI50X450N. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, matching the 50mm bore, 450mm stroke, 982N force, G1/4 port, and mounting accessories.
The 50mm bore uses a G1/4 port. Force output is 982N push and 825N pull at 0.5MPa, 1374N push at 0.7MPa, 1767N push at 0.9MPa, and a theoretical max of 200kgf at 1.0MPa. It operates at 30-800mm/s.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI50X450N replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
