This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI50X640, 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 SI50X640 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 640mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI50X640, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI50X640 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder. Delivering 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a 50 mm bore and 640 mm stroke, it is superseded by the SAI50X640. This direct replacement shares the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, G1/4 port, and M16x1.5 rod thread, fitting existing fixtures perfectly.
The SAI upgrade features a new piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CS1-B or DS1-B sensors.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI50X640 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 SAI50X640 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 640 mm travel, relying on the 982 N thrust at 0.5 MPa to overcome friction.
Acts as a 50 mm bore physical barrier on roller conveyors, dropping into standard ISO 15552 foot mounts for easy retrofitting.
To replace the SI50X640, order the SAI50X640. Verify your ISO 15552 mounting accessory (LB, FA, TC, etc.), G1/4 port, and M16x1.5 rod thread. This non-magnet SKU cannot take a sensor; if sensing is needed, specify an SAI50X640S. The 640 mm stroke demands external guides to prevent rod bending and side loads. At 0.5 MPa it yields 982 N push (825 N pull); if undersized, the 63 mm bore offers 1559 N. The cushion only decelerates; for load holding on air loss, use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the AirTAC SI50X640 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI50X640. It shares the identical ISO 15552 mounting interface, 50 mm bore, 640 mm stroke, output force, G1/4 port, and accessories, fitting directly into your existing fixtures.
The bore is 50 mm with a G1/4 air port and M16x1.5 rod thread. At 0.5 MPa it provides 982 N push and 825 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa push is 1374 N, and at 0.9 MPa it is 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 SAI50X640 replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
