This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI50X700S, 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 SI50X700S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 700mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI50X700S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI50X700S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 50mm bore and 700mm stroke. Delivering 982N push force at 0.5MPa, it features a G1/4 port and an integrated piston magnet for position sensing. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAI50X700S, a direct upgrade retaining the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, output force, and port size.
The SAI replacement introduces an upgraded piston seal utilizing two Y-shaped one-way elements for extended lifespan and lower start-up pressure. The SAI family also expands functionality with SAIL, SAIF, and BSAI lock or valve variants absent from the SI line. Your existing CS1-B/DS1-B legacy sensors will mount to the SI, while the SAI uses current AirTAC switches.

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).
Drives large packages across transfer lines using the 700mm stroke, safely managing loads near the 589N working limit.
Raises and lowers platforms carrying up to 50kg, relying on the 982N thrust at 0.5MPa for stable elevation changes.
Pushes finished parts out of machinery beds, utilizing the 1374N force at 0.7MPa to clear heavy obstructions.
To replace the SI50X700S, order the SAI50X700S and verify your ISO 15552 mounting interface, 50mm bore, 700mm stroke, G1/4 port (PT/G/NPT), and mounting accessory. The integrated magnet (-S) carries over. Sizing both ways: a neighboring 40mm bore yields 628N push at 0.5MPa, while a 63mm bore provides 1559N. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss since the air cushion only decelerates near stroke end; for load holding, specify an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant. Because the 700mm stroke exceeds 300mm, use external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load wear.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI50X700S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI50X700S. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, matching the 50mm bore, 700mm stroke, G1/4 port, and mounting fixtures.
This double-acting cylinder uses a G1/4 port. It generates 982N push and 825N pull at 0.5MPa, 1374N push at 0.7MPa, 1767N push at 0.9MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 200kgf at 1.0MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI50X700S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
