This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI50X565S, 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 SI50X565S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 565mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI50X565S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI50X565S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 50 mm bore and 565 mm stroke. It delivers 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa via a G1/4 port. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAI50X565S, a direct upgrade retaining the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, stroke, and output force.
The SAI replacement features an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. It also introduces SAIL, SAIF, and BSAI lock variants absent in the SI line. The -S magnet supports CS1-B/DS1-B sensors.

| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 200 kgf | |
The SAI50X565S 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).
Pushes packages across transfer lines using the full 565 mm travel, relying on external guides to prevent rod bending during lateral diversion.
Clears machined parts from fixtures using 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, cycling safely within the 30-800 mm/s speed range.
To replace the SI50X565S, order the SAI50X565S and confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 50 mm bore, 565 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and M16x1.5 rod thread. Keep the -S magnet for current AirTAC switches. For sizing, neighboring bores are 40 mm (628 N push @0.5 MPa) and 63 mm (1559 N push @0.5 MPa). Because this is a 565 mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load damage. A plain cylinder drifts without live air; for load holding, use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI50X565S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI50X565S. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, matching the 50 mm bore, 565 mm stroke, output force, G1/4 port, and mounting accessories.
The G1/4 port bore delivers a push force of 982 N and a pull force of 825 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 1374 N, and at 0.9 MPa it pushes 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 SAI50X565S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
