This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI50X63S, 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 SI50X63S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 63mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI50X63S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI50X63S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 50mm bore and 63mm stroke. Delivering 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa, it features a Ø20mm rod, M16x1.5 thread, G1/4 port, and 30mm adjustable cushions. The direct replacement is the SAI50X63S, matching the interface, force, and mounting.
The SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. The SAI family also adds SAIL, SAIF, and BSAI lock variants. This -S SKU uses CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, while the SAI takes current AirTAC switches.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI50X63S 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 SAI50X63S 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).
Secures steel workpieces on machining fixtures using 982 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa.
Controls pallet flow on rollers, safely halting materials with 30mm adjustable cushions.
To replace the SI50X63S, order the SAI50X63S. Verify the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 50mm bore, 63mm stroke, G1/4 port (PT/G/NPT), and the -S magnet. If you need more force, the 63mm bore yields 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa; if less is required, the 40mm bore gives 628 N. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates. For load holding, use an external pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant. Rod material options include carbon steel, SUS420J2 (A), or SUS304 (B).
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI50X63S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI50X63S. It shares the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 50mm bore, 63mm stroke, G1/4 port, and output force, fitting existing fixtures perfectly.
The 50mm bore has a G1/4 port. It delivers 982 N push and 825 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 1374 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating speed is 30-800 mm/s.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI50X63S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
