This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI50X730STC, 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 SI50X730STC is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 730mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI50X730STC, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI50X730STC is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 50mm bore, 730mm stroke, G1/4 port and TC trunnion mount. Delivering 982N push force at 0.5MPa, it is replaced by the SAI50X730STC direct. The SAI retains the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, force and port, fitting existing fixtures directly.
The SAI upgrade features two Y-shaped one-way piston seals for low start-up pressure and long life. The SAI family also adds SAIL, SAIF and BSAI lock variants the SI lacked. The -S magnet works with CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, and Viton H seals raise heat to 150C.

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 a 730mm lane diverter on a packaging line, using the TC trunnion to pivot smoothly while moving light pallets.
Shifts workpieces between machine stations over a 730mm gap, relying on external guides to prevent rod side-load bending.
To replace the SI50X730STC, order the SAI50X730STC. Confirm the ISO 15552 TC trunnion mount, 50mm bore, 730mm stroke, G1/4 port (PT/G/NPT) and -S magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B switches. For sizing, the 50mm bore yields 982N push at 0.5MPa; neighbouring bores are 40mm (628N) or 63mm (1559N). A plain cylinder drifts on air loss as cushions only decelerate; for load holding use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant. At 730mm, prevent rod bending by guiding the load externally.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the AirTAC SI50X730STC is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI50X730STC. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, matching the 50mm bore, 730mm stroke, G1/4 port, TC mount and output force for a seamless fixture swap.
This double-acting cylinder has a G1/4 port. Force ratings are: push 982N and pull 825N at 0.5MPa, push 1374N at 0.7MPa, push 1767N 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 SAI50X730STC replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
