This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI50X50H, 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 SI50X50H is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 50mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI50X50H, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI50X50H is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 50mm bore and 50mm stroke. Built for high-temperature duty with a Viton H seal (0 to 150 C), it delivers a 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a G1/4 port. The direct replacement is the SAI50X50H, matching the interface, force, and mounting.
The SAI upgrade features a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and longevity. Note this non-magnet SKU cannot host a sensor, and for load holding you must add an external rod lock or check valve, as cushions only decelerate.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI50X50H carries the same ISO 15552 ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |

| 0.7 MPa | 1374 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 200 kgf | |
The SAI50X50H 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).
Utilizes the Viton H seal for 0-150 C environments, providing 982 N of push force to eject warm molded components safely.
Fits ISO 15552 fixtures in tight 50mm stroke spaces, delivering reliable clamping pressure for light metal machining.
Actuates routing gates on production lines where the 50 kg vertical lift capacity easily manages flap mechanisms.
To replace the discontinued SI50X50H, order the SAI50X50H. It drops directly into existing ISO 15552 fixtures with the same 50mm bore, 50mm stroke, M16x1.5 rod thread, and G1/4 port. Retain your high-temperature Viton H specification and mounting accessories. Because this SKU lacks a magnet (-S), it cannot accept CS1-B or DS1-B sensors; if position feedback is required, switch to a magnet-equipped SAI50X50S. Remember that a standard cylinder drifts on air loss—use the SAIL or BSAI lock variants if you need secure load holding.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI50X50H is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI50X50H. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 50mm bore, 50mm stroke, G1/4 port, and mounting interface.
This double-acting cylinder uses a G1/4 air port. It generates a push force of 982 N and a pull force of 825 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa the push force is 1374 N, and 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 SAI50X50H replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
