This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI50X525S, 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 SI50X525S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 525mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI50X525S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI50X525S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 50mm bore and 525mm stroke. Delivering 982N push force at 0.5MPa via a G1/4 port, it is replaced by the SAI50X525S. This direct upgrade shares identical ISO 15552 mounting interface dimensions, stroke and output force.
The SAI features an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. The SAI family also adds SAIL, SAIF and BSAI lock variants the SI lacked. Your -S magnet works with legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI50X525S carries the same ISO 15552 ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 982 N | 825 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1374 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 200 kgf | |
The SAI50X525S produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

| -S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing. |
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).
Pushes packages across a 525mm conveyor lane transfer using 982N of thrust at 0.5MPa.
Shifts a tooling carriage between machining stations over a 525mm distance with adjustable cushions.
To replace the SI50X525S, order the SAI50X525S. Verify the ISO 15552 mounting accessory (LB, FA, TC), the G1/4 port thread (PT/G/NPT) and the -S magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B switches. The SAI is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552. Sizing both ways: a 63mm bore gives 1559N push at 0.5MPa, while a 40mm bore yields 628N. At 525mm, prevent rod bending by using external guides to manage side loads. A plain cylinder drifts without air; for load holding use the SAIL lock variant or a pilot check valve.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI50X525S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI50X525S. It shares the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 50mm bore, 525mm stroke, output force and G1/4 port, fitting existing fixtures perfectly.
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.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI50X525S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
